Raspberry Pi hardware for real cruising

BoatKit

An on-boat toolkit with a world-class anchor alarm, free chart data, AIS awareness, customizable gauges, and low-bandwidth remote monitoring from shore.

Built for the boat you already have

Serious monitoring without a big-vessel stack.

BoatKit runs aboard your boat on Raspberry Pi hardware, ties into your existing NMEA 2000 network, and keeps the essential navigation and systems picture close at hand.

Anchor alarm first

Warning and alert geofences keep watch over swing, drift, and changing conditions while you sleep or head ashore.

NMEA 2000 aware

Bring existing onboard data into one focused interface, including AIS targets and live instrument feeds.

Remote by design

Everything you can see on board can be monitored remotely through a carefully optimized cloud streaming protocol.

World-class anchor alarm

Sleep better at anchor.

Set warning and alert geofences, watch your track, and receive text alerts when the boat moves outside the limits you trust.

  • On-boat alarm behavior with remote visibility.
  • Clear geofence status for warning and alert zones.
  • Text notifications when attention is needed.

Charts, AIS, and gauges

Free mapping data, richer boat context.

BoatKit shows chart data, AIS targets from your NMEA 2000 network, and customizable gauge screens for the instruments you care about most.

  • Chart views for anchoring, piloting, and situational awareness.
  • AIS targets overlaid with your local navigation picture.
  • Gauge screens tuned to your boat and your habits.

Cloud monitoring that respects bandwidth

The same boat picture, even from a weak connection.

BoatKit streams only what it needs to the cloud, so remote views stay usable over low-bandwidth links without losing the data that matters.
