3. Remote Monitoring with Boat Groups

Going ashore for dinner or a hike? Link up to four devices in a “Boat Group” to keep an eye on your vessel from anywhere. Leave one device on board, and receive position updates and instant alarm notifications on your personal phone. (Requires an internet connection on both devices).

4. Lines Ashore Mode

Not swinging freely? This specialized mode is perfect for Med-mooring, using a second anchor, or tying up to shore. It monitors not just your location but also your boat’s compass heading (bearing) within a defined wedge, providing a more accurate alarm for complex setups.

5. Simple Position Correction & Distant Set

  • Correct on the Fly: If you didn’t set the anchor position perfectly, just drag and drop the icon on the map to its correct location at any time.
  • Set from Afar: No need to be directly over your anchor. Use the “Distant Set” feature to simply point your device at the anchor’s drop location from anywhere on your boat.

6. Anchor History

Found the perfect, sheltered spot? The app automatically saves your previous anchor positions, allowing you to easily find and re-use that exact same location on your next visit.

This feature is also useful when you accidentally stop the anchor watch but are still at anchor in the same location. You can simply resume the anchor watch with the exact same anchor position.

7. Smart Display Modes

Our interface is designed for your comfort, day or night. Choose from Light or Dark themes. The unique Auto-Night Mode automatically switches to a dark interface at sunset and back to light at sunrise, preserving your night vision.
