01 / THE CONNECTED YACHT

Your whole yacht.
Within reach.

From a comfortable cabin to a clear view of the vessel, we bring monitoring and control together around the way you live aboard.

01

Understand your power.

Bring battery, shore charging, solar and house electrical data into a shared picture. See where energy is coming from and how it is being used.

Better information for better decisions.

02

Comfort, under control.

Bring climate control into the onboard interface. View cabin conditions and adjust temperature settings and zones around the way owners and guests use the yacht.

A comfortable boat, with simpler control.

03

Set the mood.

Make lighting moods easy to choose. Bring zones, brightness and colour into thoughtful scenes for dining, entertaining and winding down aboard.

The right atmosphere, at a touch.

04

See more of your yacht.

Bring camera views into the same experience as your other systems. Make it easier to check selected areas aboard and see what needs your attention.

A clearer view, without switching apps.

05

Stay aware.

Connect security monitoring, system status and supported alerts in a coherent view. Design onboard and remote access around who needs to see and control each part of the vessel.

Useful awareness, with considered access.

06

Everything at your fingertips.

Bring power, comfort, lighting, cameras and security together through intuitive interfaces. We can handle the integration across the yacht, from individual systems to the whole onboard experience.

One coherent way to use your boat.

CONNECTED MONITORING & CONTROL

Everything.
At your
fingertips.

Check your power. Adjust the climate. Choose a lighting mood. View cameras and review security. Bring it together in an interface designed around your yacht and the people aboard.

Explore example energy and weather views. All readings are illustrative.

02 / HOW WE WORK

Your vessel.
Our starting point.

A good integration begins with understanding how your boat actually works, and how you want to use it.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Map the equipment, interfaces and onboard routines. Agree what would make a meaningful difference to owners and crew.

  2. 02

    Design

    Define the architecture, information and controls. Set a clear scope around compatibility, usability and serviceability.

  3. 03

    Integrate & verify

    Build in considered stages. Check the software, installed interfaces and physical behaviour against agreed acceptance criteria.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Document the system and its operating boundaries. Give the people who use and maintain it a clearer picture.

03 / ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE

Real boat.
Real integration.

The Adventuress Integrated Boat Control System brings battery, solar, house power and weather information together in a dedicated onboard display.

Developed aboard a sailing vessel, it demonstrates an approach we bring to larger motor yachts, catamarans and sailboats: understand the sources, present useful information and verify the result.

04 / ABOUT US

Onboard experience.
Engineering perspective.

We combine 15 years of experience as an executive officer (XO) aboard large yachts with software and startup engineering experience.

That brings two useful perspectives to your project: how systems are built, and how they need to work for the people aboard.
