CONNECT. New · Fleet Edition

Every hull you’ve delivered, on one screen.

Connect means the rest of the boat’s life: you stay connected to the boats and the owners after handover. Two-thirds of buyers chose used over new — so what about the boats you have already sold? Fleet Edition is the answer, with real vessel data from YachtLINK™ underneath it.

“Three-year subscription included. Free for your owners. No monthly fee.”

Every Hull You’ve Delivered, On One Screen

Fleet Edition — new this year

Fleet Edition gives the builder a live view of every boat ever handed over — not just the one in production. Service history, maintenance due, open trouble tickets and the owner’s own records, for the whole fleet you have built.

You built them; now you manage them. One screen for every boat you have delivered, for as long as it is on the water.

Features:

  1. Every Boat, One Screen Every hull you have delivered, with its status, in a single fleet view.
  2. Service History & Maintenance Due What has been done, what is coming due, boat by boat.
  3. Open Trouble Tickets Owner-reported issues and their resolution, visible to you as they happen.
  4. Live Vessel Data YachtLINK™ feeds real operating data underneath the records.

Warranty Settled on Data, Not Arguments

Evidence instead of argument

When a warranty question comes in, YachtLINK™ data shows how the boat was actually run — hours, loads, speeds, fuel — so a genuine product defect is separated from operator behaviour with evidence rather than opinion.

The maintenance logs, service records and photos the owner keeps in your app are the paper trail a claim demands.

Features:

  1. Real-World Operating Data Engine hours, load and speed profiles from the vessel itself.
  2. Maintenance & Service Records Logged in the app, time-stamped and attributed.
  3. Product Fault vs Operator Behaviour Support based on facts. Fewer discounts given to end an argument.

YACHTWAVE® Telematics

Marine Performance Intelligence Platform

YachtLINK™ devices collect real-world performance data to guide engineering, cut warranty costs, and improve customer support. The hardware is the data source, not the product: it comes with the platform rather than being sold as a box.

Features:

  1. PROPTIMIZER™ Data-driven propeller optimization. Eliminates costly trial and error, and feeds the next model year.
  2. NMEA 2000® Certified The YachtLINK™ gateway installs on the vessel’s existing NMEA 2000® backbone with a standard drop cable.
  3. Fuel Economy Distribution Real MPG analysis. Identify engine-hull optimization opportunities.
  4. Performance vs Industry Average Benchmark your vessels. Identify strengths and improvement areas.
  5. Vessel Security Continuous location tracking before and after delivery.
  6. No Monthly Subscription Three-year boat-builder subscription included. Free for your owners.

ROI · CONNECT

What CONNECT Is Worth Each Year

Warranty runs near 2% of net sales across publicly traded boat builders. Telematics evidence separates a product fault from operator behaviour, and a branded app that stays with the boat is the path to the next sale. Put your numbers in.

Value estimate: a builder delivering 10 boats a year, with the assumptions above, keeps about $0 a year — $0 per boat — from the CONNECT features alone.

J.D. Power marine studies: 60% of owners rating their boat 9/10 say they will definitely repurchase the brand, 31% at 8/10. YACHTWAVE Boat Owner Survey, June 2025 (n=400): 70% say delivery shaped their view of the brand. The claims-avoided and repeat-sale percentages are assumptions — replace them with yours.
