Q: Why would I choose Yacht Trace instead of simply fitting AIS to the superyacht tender or chase boat? A: Captains often ask why they should invest in a dedicated monitoring system when the tender already has AIS onboard. The answer is that AIS and Yacht Trace serve completely different purposes.

From Southampton to Barcelona – A Busy Month of Connections, Technology and Innovation
March has been another exciting month for Yacht Trace, bringing together some fantastic industry events, valuable conversations and opportunities to share how technology can help improve tender and chase boat safety.
From the glamour of the Superyacht Charities Ball to the latest innovations at the Superyacht Technology Show in Barcelona, it’s been a busy few weeks!
Superyacht Charities Ball – Southampton
We started with a fantastic evening at the Superyacht Charities Ball on 14 March, held at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.
It was wonderful to catch up with familiar faces, meet new people and see so many from across the superyacht industry coming together to support worthwhile causes.
Yacht Trace was delighted to contribute to the fundraising raffle, supporting the fantastic work of Superyacht Charities.
A huge thank you to the organisers, sponsors and everyone involved in making it such a memorable evening.
Superyacht Technology Show – Barcelona
Next stop, Barcelona, for the Superyacht Technology Show 2026.
The event brought together technology specialists, innovators and industry professionals to explore the latest developments shaping the future of superyachting.
For Yacht Trace, it was a valuable opportunity to discuss the growing importance of preventative technology, particularly in relation to tender and chase boat monitoring, risk reduction and fleet management.
Our standalone, encrypted two-way RF system provides continuous communication between the mothership and its tenders without relying on AIS or cellular connectivity.
It was encouraging to have conversations around how dedicated monitoring can support captains, engineers, yacht managers and insurers in identifying potential problems before they become costly losses.
A big thank you to the organisers and everyone we had the pleasure of meeting.
Visiting MB92 Barcelona
While in Barcelona, we also had the opportunity to visit MB92, one of the world’s leading superyacht refit and repair facilities.
It was a fantastic opportunity to experience another side of the industry and gain a greater understanding of the scale, technical expertise and coordination involved in major superyacht refit operations.
Visits like these are particularly valuable to us as we continue developing Yacht Trace technology and exploring how our monitoring systems can support the evolving needs of the superyacht fleet.
Thank you to the MB92 team for the opportunity to visit.
Looking Ahead
March has reinforced just how important collaboration is across our industry.
Whether speaking with captains, engineers, yacht managers, shipyards or insurers, we’re seeing growing interest in proactive monitoring and technology that helps reduce risk rather than simply responding after something has gone wrong.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to meet us, share their experiences and support Yacht Trace.
Here’s to another busy few months ahead!
