Please see Linkedin or Instagram to see our unique features.
Day 1: 2-Way Communication – Safety & Convenience
🚤 Set it Up Without Stepping on the Tender!
Our system offers 2-way communication, letting you configure and monitor your tender from the comfort of the mothership. Stay safe out at sea and keep the tender-side system hidden for added anti-theft protection.
👉 Safer. Smarter. More secure.
Day 2 of 7: No Bilge Pump Interference
💧 Protect your tender without splicing wires!
We provide dedicated water level sensors, so you don’t need to modify or tap into your bilge pumps. This extra layer of protection keeps warranties intact and ensures uninterrupted performance.
🛡️ Simpler installation. Enhanced protection.
- Day 3 of 7: Built In-House – Full Control Over Quality
🔧 Hardware designed by us, for you.
Unlike other systems, we’ve developed our own proprietary hardware. This gives us full control over performance, upgrades, and reliability without relying on third parties.
✅ Precision-engineered. Constantly improving.
- Day 4 of 7: Worldwide RF Communication – significant Range in remote areas
🌍 Reliable comms, anywhere on the planet.
Our secure RF link will work across the USA, Mediterranean, and global regions. With a range tailored for worldwide operations, your tender monitoring system will stay connected wherever your voyage takes you.
🚀 Tested for every sea, port, and adventure.
- Day 5 of 7: Easy Installation
🛠️ Install in hours, not days.
The tender-side system can be placed discreetly in a cupboard, while the mothership unit is stored in a portable case. No need to cut into consoles or bridges, and installation time is just 2-3 hours—a fraction of the time other systems require.
⏳ Less time. Less cost. Less hassle.
- Day 6 of 7: AIS Independence – Plug & Play Simplicity
🛰️ No integration with existing AIS required!
Our system is independent from the mothership’s AIS, making installation and operation easier than ever. This means fewer compatibility issues and faster deployment.
📦 Plug it in. Power it up. Protect your tender.
- Day 7 of 7: Future-Ready – Battery Monitoring Coming Soon as an add on.
- 🔋 Stay ahead with expandable features!
- Later in the year we’re introducing a battery monitoring add-on, seamlessly integrating into your existing system. No extra comms or hardware needed—just enhanced functionality.
- 📈 Future-proof your monitoring.
