Smartboatia Hub Features That Redefine Modern Sailing

The Smartboatia Hub features redefine what it means to sail smart.

Sailing means freedom – but also responsibility. Every sailor knows the feeling: wind in your sails, waves crashing, the endless horizon ahead. Sailing is one of the last great adventures – but it also requires smart decisions, quick reactions, and the right technology onboard.

What if you didn’t have to manage all of that alone?

With the Smartboatia Hub, you get a digital co-pilot that monitors, analyzes, and logs everything – fully automatically. From backup GPS to weather monitoring to smart alarms: this small device is changing how we sail.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most important Smartboatia Hub features – and how they make your sailing experience safer, more comfortable, and smarter.

Automatic Logbook – Your Voyage, Seamlessly Recorded

Manual logbooks are a thing of the past. The Smartboatia Hub automatically logs your sailing journey.

What does this mean for you?

  • No more tedious entries – every mile is logged automatically for you.
  • Route, weather conditions & boat data always accessible – for analysis and memories.
  • Regatta sailors benefit from AI-powered maneuver data for precise performance optimization.

Why it matters: Whether you’re improving your sailing skills, analyzing past voyages, or preserving beautiful memories – an automatic logbook keeps you in control.

Real-Time GPS Tracking – Keep Your Route in Sight

There are many navigation systems – but the Smartboatia Hub goes one step further.

What does GPS tracking do?

  • Continuous route logging – ideal for long-distance sailors & also regatta performance.
  • Live tracking via the Smartboatia app – you or your crew can check the current position anytime.
  • Enhanced safety – friends & family can follow your journey.

Why it matters: Whether you’re mid-Atlantic or coastal cruising – GPS tracking gives you peace of mind and a clear overview.

Anchor Watch & Smart Alarms – More Safety, Less Stress

Every sailor knows the anxiety of anchoring overnight. Is the anchor holding? Or is the boat slowly drifting?

With the Smartboatia anchor watch, there’s no guessing – you know.

What can the system do?

  • Detects movement in real-time and alerts you instantly if you drift.
  • Sends a signal even when GPS reception is lost – you stay informed in all conditions.
  • With built-in GPS, you can switch off power-hungry navigation instruments – saving critical energy while at anchor.
  • Connects to sound or light alarms to reliably wake you up at night.

Why it matters: Safety is non-negotiable at sea. The Smartboatia anchor watch lets you sleep soundly while staying protected.

Remote Monitoring – Your Boat, Under Control, Wherever You Are

Away from the boat but want to check everything’s okay?

With Smartboatia’s remote monitoring, you can access critical boat data from anywhere:

  • Battery status – no more unpleasant surprises. You’ll get push alerts if voltage drops below a threshold.
  • Water levels in the harbor – ideal for tidal regions to avoid grounding.
  • Live wind & weather data – measured directly on your boat (if instruments are powered on).

Important: Except for battery status, wave height and GPS position, most data requires that your instruments are running. With a Smartboatia app subscription, you’ll still get battery and GPS info via LTE NB even without active onboard systems.

Why it matters: No more unnecessary trips to the marina. If e.g. the dock power fails, you can call the harbor master – without leaving home.

Offline Functionality – Your Hub Works Everywhere

Whether in the middle of the Atlantic or along remote coastlines – the Smartboatia Hub works offline too.

  • All core features function without internet – logbook, polar diagrams & alarms.
  • Once you’re back online, all data is synced automatically.

Why it matters: You don’t need constant internet. Smartboatia is built for real sailors like you.

Custom Polar Diagrams – Optimize Your Sailing Performance

Do you really know your boat’s ideal speed and trim?

Many sailors rely on generic data – but those aren’t tailored to your individual boat.

Smartboatia generates personalized polar diagrams using your real sailing data:

  • Smarter course planning – use real-time data for efficient routing.
  • Optimized sail trim – achieve max speed & safety with confidence.

Why it matters: Precise data makes a big difference – more speed, less guesswork.

Sustainability – Every Mile Counts for the Ocean

Every voyage collects valuable data on weather, currents, and ocean conditions. But then what?

With Smartboatia, you can sail and contribute to marine science:

  • Your boat’s data helps researchers understand the ocean better.
  • In partnership with institutions like GEOMAR and the SOOP-Platform.
  • Sustainability meets high-tech – with zero effort required.

Why it matters: We sailors love the ocean – so let’s help protect it, one trip at a time.
