Everything you need to monitor your boat from anywhere.
Commander scans your NMEA 2000 network and learns what sensors YOUR boat has. No configuration files, no device lists. Adapts to any vessel automatically.
Native app for iOS and Android. On board: connects directly via boat WiFi or Bluetooth — no internet required. Real-time gauges, alerts, camera feeds, and full command interface.
Rule-based alert engine — no AI, no hallucinations. Pure code monitoring thresholds 24/7. Battery, engines, bilge, anchor, depth, tanks.
Instant responses for status, engines, battery, tanks, wind, anchor, and position. Pre-built templates, no AI latency.
Charter fleets use cloud AI via Master. Private yachts run Qwen 14B locally on Mac Mini M4 — fully offline. Ask about your boat in plain English.
Private yacht Commanders work with zero internet. Charter units need connectivity for cloud AI. Core monitoring and alerts always run locally.
Set your swing radius and Commander monitors GPS drift continuously. If your anchor drags, you know immediately via WhatsApp.
Security cameras, FLIR thermal imaging, and night vision. Monitor your vessel visually — on board or remotely. AI vision detects intrusions and thermal anomalies.
Every connected boat feeds the network. Crowdsourced wind, depth, anchorage intel, hazard alerts, and real-time passage conditions — shared across the fleet.
Every Commander is a sensor. Master connects them into a shared intelligence network.
Every boat pushes real-time telemetry to Master — position, wind, depth, barometric pressure, sea state. BigBlue aggregates this data and pushes relevant insights back to every vessel in the network. No extra hardware. Pure cloud logic.
20 boats spread across the cruising ground, all reporting wind. BigBlue builds a real-time wind map — not forecast, actual measured conditions. "15kt gusts reported by 3 boats in the channel."
Every boat with a depth sounder is ground-truthing the chart. BigBlue aggregates depth readings + GPS into a live depth overlay. "Boat ahead of you just measured 4ft in that channel."
"5 boats currently at The Bight — average depth 22ft, wind 8kt east, all holding well." Charterers approaching an anchorage get real intel from boats already there.
A boat that just crossed a stretch reports sea state, current, and wind. The next boat heading that way gets a real-time heads-up — not a 6-hour-old forecast.
One boat finds an uncharted obstruction, lobster pots, or debris. BigBlue broadcasts to all boats in the area automatically.
Master cross-references fleet positions against incoming weather cells. Boats in the path get proactive alerts — "Squall line approaching your position in 45 minutes."
BigBlue is included with all Master Cloud plans. Every connected boat makes the network smarter. Data is anonymized and opt-in.
Alerts fire automatically via WhatsApp. No need to ask. All thresholds are configurable.
