For sailors, science and the environment
"Why do our navigation instruments only provide short-term measurements such as wind and speed data?
We believe we can achieve much more – from optimizing boat handling to predictive maintenance.
It would also be great to have a digital logbook that allows us to easily share our sailing experiences with family and friends."

We innovate the sailing sport!
With Smartboatia you can...
...sail like the pros,
...increase your safety on the water,
...make your time on board more comfortable,
...capture your epic sailing moments and share them with the world.
Our products include the Smartboatia Hub, a powerful device with additional sensors for your sailing yacht, and an accompanying app. Together, they offer features such as sailing trim advice, automatic logbook and real-time GPS tracking, and much more. Thanks to the high computing power, most of these features can also be used offline to optimize your sailing experience even when you sail of the beaten path.
Smartboatia can support you in various areas of your sailing experience
To name just a few...
Faster to the barbecue with friends.
Better sail trim without the guesswork.
Smartboatia prepares the essential relationships between wind and boat speed for you. You see the true effect of your trim - even with cumbersome thick ships. This way you can optimize your upwind or downwind behavior or perfect the trim for a fixed course.
We are currently working on automated trim recommendations that are tailored to your specific boat and the current environmental conditions.
Together, we will take your sailing skills to the next level.
Carefree at anchor.
The anchor watch that doesn't depend on your phone's battery life.
Smartboatia's integrated anchor watch has a built-in alarm that can easily be amplified for deep sleepers using an external speaker or warning light.
And if your GPS has no signal – no problem. Smartboatia also has an alarm for situations like this, to prevent your yacht from approaching the cliffs unnoticed. We are also working on a new feature that will enable alerts via the internet.
With Smartboatia, you can sit back and relax while we take care of your yacht.
“We have been using Smartboatia on our round-the-world sailing trip for two years and don’t want to sail without it anymore. Based on the recorded data, we make better decisions while sailing.
This gives us safety and makes many things easier."
Together, we protect our oceans
Our commitment doesn’t stop at sailing. With Smartboatia, we actively contribute to ocean conservation.
In collaboration with GEOMAR, the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), and Hereon, we are advancing the scientific collection of ocean data as part of the SOOP initiative.
Our technology enables the automatic collection of data such as wind, water temperatures, air pressure, and sea conditions while sailing, making it available to the scientific community.
Recreational boats hold immense potential in this effort, as they travel in large numbers beyond the typical routes of cargo ships and airplanes, providing data from regions that are rarely monitored.
This creates a unique connection between sailing and climate protection.
Every mile counts!
Join in and sail for a sustainable future.
