How It Works

We install it. It learns your boat. You get WhatsApp alerts.

01

Install the Commander Unit

A compact unit goes at your nav station and plugs into your NMEA 2000 network. Compatible with all major marine electronics — Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, B&G, Victron, and more.

Professional installation. No wiring changes to your boat.

02

It Discovers Your Boat

Commander auto-discovers every sensor on board. Twin engines? Two battery banks? Solar? Shore power? It figures out what you have and adapts automatically.

No configuration needed. No device lists. It just learns.

03

You Stay Connected

On board? Open the Commander App — no internet needed. Away with Starlink or WiFi? Get WhatsApp alerts. Add Master for the full cloud dashboard, push notifications, and historical analytics.

Text status or tap the app anytime for a full report.

Solutions

67+ use cases across charter operations, private yacht ownership, deliveries, and marinas.

Features

Everything you need to monitor your boat from anywhere.

🔍

Auto-Discovery

Commander scans your NMEA 2000 network and learns what sensors YOUR boat has. No configuration files, no device lists. Adapts to any vessel automatically.

📱

Commander App

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.

🚨

Smart Alerts

Rule-based alert engine — no AI, no hallucinations. Pure code monitoring thresholds 24/7. Battery, engines, bilge, anchor, depth, tanks.

Quick Commands

Instant responses for status, engines, battery, tanks, wind, anchor, and position. Pre-built templates, no AI latency.

🧠

AI Brain

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.

📶

Offline-First

Private yacht Commanders work with zero internet. Charter units need connectivity for cloud AI. Core monitoring and alerts always run locally.

Anchor Watch

Set your swing radius and Commander monitors GPS drift continuously. If your anchor drags, you know immediately via WhatsApp.

📷

Cameras & FLIR

Security cameras, FLIR thermal imaging, and night vision. Monitor your vessel visually — on board or remotely. AI vision detects intrusions and thermal anomalies.

🌐

FleetMind

Every connected boat feeds the network. Crowdsourced wind, depth, anchorage intel, hazard alerts, and real-time passage conditions — shared across the fleet.

FleetMind

Every Commander is a sensor. Master connects them into a shared intelligence network.

Your fleet is a sensor mesh.

Every boat pushes real-time telemetry to Master — position, wind, depth, barometric pressure, sea state. FleetMind aggregates this data and pushes relevant insights back to every vessel in the network. No extra hardware. Pure cloud logic.

🌬️

Live Wind Field

20 boats spread across the cruising ground, all reporting wind. FleetMind builds a real-time wind map — not forecast, actual measured conditions. "15kt gusts reported by 3 boats in the channel."

🌊

Crowdsourced Depth

Every boat with a depth sounder is ground-truthing the chart. FleetMind aggregates depth readings + GPS into a live depth overlay. "Boat ahead of you just measured 4ft in that channel."

Anchorage Intel

"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.

🚢

Passage Conditions

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.

⚠️

Hazard Broadcasts

One boat finds an uncharted obstruction, lobster pots, or debris. FleetMind broadcasts to all boats in the area automatically.

🌦️

Weather Alerts

Master cross-references fleet positions against incoming weather cells. Boats in the path get proactive alerts — "Squall line approaching your position in 45 minutes."

FleetMind is included with all Master Cloud plans. Every connected boat makes the network smarter. Data is anonymized and opt-in.

Automatic Alerts

Alerts fire automatically via WhatsApp. No need to ask. All thresholds are configurable.

Alert Trigger Requires
🔋 Battery Low SOC < 20% Battery monitor
🔋 Battery Critical SOC < 10% Battery monitor
🌡️ Engine Overheat Coolant > 95°C Engine sensors
🛢️ Low Oil Pressure < 25 PSI while running Engine sensors
🚰 Bilge Pump > 6 cycles in 30 min Bilge pump counter
Anchor Drag GPS drift > set radius GPS + anchor watch
🌊 Shallow Water Depth < configured min Depth sounder
