Powerful vessel management and navigation for connected boaters.

Charts, tides, currents, wind, routing, anchor watch, cameras, an intelligent assistant, radar, sonar, autopilots, stereos, VHF radio, watermakers, maintenance tracking, and trip logs—on your devices at the helm, around the boat, and remotely through BoatKit Cloud.

Start with what you have

Standalone Tablet Functionality

Charts, routing, weather, anchor watch, cameras, dashboards, and many other BoatKit features work with the tablet you already own without buying any extra hardware. If you have NMEA data on your Wi-Fi network already, it can do even more.

With Vessel Integrations

Plug in your NMEA 2000/0183 busses, chartplotter networks (radar, sonar, etc.), supported autopilots, Mastervolt network, cameras, power converters, and other systems with off-the-shelf dongles for your tablet. Upgrade to a dedicated always-on device in your equipment closet by buying an off-the-shelf BoatKit device or building your own.
