Boat monitoring and remote monitoring: while you're away, your boat isn't alone

The most expensive damage starts slowly, in the hours when no one is aboard: a battery going flat, a seacock seeping, a line slipping. Monitoring flips that around - our team in Göcek puts your boat through regular physical checks, critical conditions (bilge, battery, hatch) are watched remotely, and every check drops into your panel as a photo report. The answer to 'is my boat all right?' is on your phone in 10 seconds.

Scope

Periodic physical check

Bilge, water ingress, battery, lines, hatches, deck - a photographed inspection round

Remote monitoring (sensor)

Bilge high water, battery voltage, hatch/movement, charge cut-out - on an independent supply

24/7 storm watch

Göcek's wind is tracked continuously; preparation once the threshold is passed, a report within 48h after a storm

Document-date tracking

Registration, insurance, mooring, foreign-flag paperwork - a reminder as the deadline nears

"Show me my boat"

A current photo/video from your panel in one tap; in your hands within 24 hours

Emergency alert & response

Immediate notice of any anomaly; same-day intervention within the limit you set

How it works

Setup & plan

Your boat's condition and monitoring needs are assessed; the check frequency and sensor layout are settled.

Regular rounds & monitoring

Periodic physical checks + 24/7 remote monitoring; every round becomes a photo report.

Report & action

If there's a finding, it's reported with reasons and quoted for your approval - you manage it remotely.

Monitoring layers

Sensor + human: stronger together

Layer	What it catches
Remote sensor (24/7)	Bilge high water, battery voltage, hatch, charge cut-out
Periodic physical round	Line/hatch wear, mould, deck - everything the eye can see
Storm watch	Wind threshold: preparation beforehand and a check afterwards
Document tracking	Registration, insurance, mooring dates

The strongest protection is real-time sensor alerts combined with regular human checks.

A real night: bilge alarm - damage 0 €

Remote monitoring reported the bilge level above the threshold; the team was aboard the same evening, and the source was a loosened hose clamp. A 10-minute intervention instead of a cabin-drying bill.

FAQ

What's the difference between remote monitoring and regular checks?+

The two complement each other: a sensor watches critical values (bilge, battery) 24/7 but can't see physical condition (line wear, mould, deck); a human check isn't continuous. Strong monitoring is the two combined - the sensor alerts in real time, the regular round sees with the eye.

If the internet or power goes down, does monitoring stop?+

The monitoring device runs on an independent backup battery; it keeps working for a while even if the main battery dies. During a GSM outage an alarm can be delayed - that's why remote monitoring isn't a replacement for regular physical checks but a layer between them.

How often is it checked?+

It depends on the package and the season; more often out of season and during storm periods. The frequency is written up front; you can also request a current photo any time with 'show me my boat'.

Is it too much for my small boat?+

Quite the opposite: monitoring benefits a small, lightly used boat most - because months with no one looking is the biggest risk. The scope scales to your needs.

What happens in a storm?+

Your boat is prepared before the wind threshold is crossed (line reinforcement, hatch checks); within 48 hours after the storm a photo check report drops in, and any finding is quoted for your approval.
