Today’s technology is so advanced. We sit in our homes and watch HD TV, use high speed internet, stream videos to our TV’s, listen to internet music and watch the kids through the cameras.
ALL this technology is now available on Yachts!
The Connected Yacht takes all of today’s technology and puts it in the palm of your hand onboard your yacht. Connect, Control, Communicate.
HDTV- Once you watch one football game in High Definition (HD) you can’t go back. Until recently, receiving the HD satellite signal onboard a yacht was not possible. We install TV satellite antennas that receive that HD signal. We then take that signal and distribute it throughout your yacht. With a 1080 TV, the quality is the SAME as your home TV. You can’t live without your DVR, NO Problem. The DVR system onboard the yacht works the same as in your home so you can record and watch back all your favorite shows.
APPLE TV- Apple TV give you any time access to endless entertainment by playing the content you love from iTunes, Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, and your favorite sports leagues on your TV in HD. The Connected Yacht uses Apple TV for downloading movies, TV shows, photos, music, and more. Wirelessly stream a movie from your Apple device to the onboard Apple TV so everyone onboard can enjoy it. www.apple.com/appletv
INTERNET- Who said you couldn’t have high speed internet onboard a yacht. There a few different ways to get internet onboard a yacht, 1) Satellite, 2) Cellular, and 3) Hot Spots.
The Connected Yacht incorporates all or some of the mentioned internet sources and a very simple way to pick and choose which internet connection you want. From your device, simply pick the internet source you want by clicking on the picture of the Ethernet plug. If you want to monitor and track your data usages just click on “Reset” in the Data Usage box. You will always know what internet source you are connected to and the data used. Taking it a step further, you can even password protect the internet sources so the crew or guests can have access to the Ship’s Intranet but not burn up data surfing the Internet.
- SATELLITE INTERNET- We install the KVH VSAT Satellite phone antennas that provides The Connected Yacht a Broadband network virtually anywhere in the world. With a mini –VSAT antenna you can stay connected with your family and friends via the internet, e-mail, phone and more. Use a VOIP phone to make calls or connect a Magic Jack to save on the satellite phone fees. www.kvh.com
- CELLULAR INTERNET- Cellular internet is getting faster and faster. With the introduction of 4G LTE recently, cellular data streaming is being used more often. We install a cellular device with an external antenna that provides a cellular connection even when offshore. You can use the cellular device for only data or voice and data. If you choose to use a “MiFi” unit then The Connected Yacht can take that signal and distribute it throughout the yacht.
- HOT SPOT- Most marinas these days have Hot Spots/WiFi. Some of the Hot Spots are far away and not easy to connect to your device. The Connected Yacht has an external antenna onboard the yacht that can receive most Hot Spots/WiFi up to 12NM away. Pull up the list of Hot Spots/WiFi’s and simply choose the one you want. So, even if you are at anchor, you can be connected to the internet from a nearby Hot Spot or WiFi.
AUDIO- The Connected Yacht uses only the highest quality sound systems, The SONOS HiFi system and the FUSION stereo system.
SONOS- Wired sound systems are a thing of the past. The SONOS HiFi audio system allows The Connected Yacht to stream music from anywhere in the world wirelessly. Stream the music from your iTunes library wirelessly directly from your Apple device to the SONOS system or use the ship’s internet connection to play Pandora (or any music service), or play your favorite radio station form around the world! The SONOS HiFi system allows you to play the same music in every room or play different music in each room. All the functions are controlled from the palm of your hand with the FREE SONOS app. www.sonos.com
FUSION- The FUSION stereo is the most sophisticated, user friendly, stereo system on the market. The Connected Yacht uses the FUSION stereo to play up to four (4) zones individually or simultaneously, controlled from a wired FUSION remote or from the palm of your hand with the FREE FUSION app. The FUSION stereo is a True Marine Entertainment System that can also be used as a DVD player for the smaller staterooms. Bluetooth the music from your mobile device to the FUSION stereo and play it throughout The Connected Yacht. www.fusionelectronics.com/marine
SECURITY- The Connected Yachts is secured and monitored using the leading security company, GOST. The GOST system provides a complete package of Security, Monitoring, Tracking and Surveillance. GOST Phantom Boat Alarms and Vessel Monitoring Systems are all in one wireless boat alarm systems that combine high security and yacht tracking applications with ease of use and unique consumer features including a designer look you would never associate with boat security. The GOST Phantom Ship Security and Yacht Tracking System’s wireless sensors monitor and help prevent intrusion, high water, AC power loss, low battery voltage and more. Should any of the Phantom’s wireless sensors be triggered, it will call you and play a recorded voice message of the event, or if you choose the Phantom can text message your phone. Stay connected to whats is going onboard with the GOST Watch HD FREE app. Remotely view your onboard cameras and set movement alerts and be emailed video clips whenever someone walks onboard. When the onboard IVR (Internet Video Recorder) is installed, you can record up to 6 cameras for up to 30days that can be viewed locally or remotely. www.gostglobal.com
CONTROL- Forget about having separate remotes for the TV, DirecTV, DVD player and A/V receiver…those days are over! The Connected Yacht is controlled by the use of apps or the Logitech Harmony Ultimate ALL-IN-ONE remote. Even if the DirecTV receiver and DVD player are in an electronics cabinet behind a door, the Logitech remote can control them. You can watch DirecTV ot your DVD player with One touch of the button. Your TV turns on, switches to the correct input and your DirecTV receiver or DVD player turns on. The SONOS Playbar volume or the TV volume is controlled directly from the Logitech remote as well. Set up icons for 50 of your favorite TV stations and with the FREE Harmony App your smartphone turns into a personal universal remote. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/harmony-ultimate?crid=60
