Problem
Boat owners often lack real-time insight into their vessel's security, performance, and systems status when they are offboard, leading to delayed responses to critical events and increased maintenance costs. Traditional monitoring solutions can be complex to install, lack comprehensive data integration, and offer limited remote control capabilities.
Solution
Yacht Sentinel provides a comprehensive connected-boat solution that integrates security monitoring, sailing analytics, digital switching, and a Wi-Fi hotspot into a single, user-friendly platform. The YS Pro system combines low-power sensors, data from onboard systems (NMEA2000, J1939, Ethernet, Modbus, and CAN buses), and a mobile app to provide boat owners with remote access to critical data and alerts. The system enables remote monitoring of security, battery status, location, and other key parameters, as well as remote control of onboard systems through digital switching capabilities.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes boat owners of both motorboats and sailboats, as well as shipyards, dealers, and charter companies seeking comprehensive remote monitoring and control solutions.
