TECHNOLOGY AND OPERATION

Since 1998, when the first Yacht Controller device was introduced, to today’s Supremo system for mega and superyachts, the company’s cutting edge and visionary technology has been in the forefront of providing hand-held remote-controlled mechanisms to boaters. Besides its patented and FCC certified advanced equipment, as well as getting NMMA’s award for most innovative product, Yacht Controller possesses many safety and operating features.

One of the most important of these elements is the fact that it does not bypass any of the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) control systems. Instead, all the regular readouts while the Yacht Controller unit is in operation, will be identical with the traditional throttle and shift control information you usually monitor while in docking or departing maneuvers.

An easy way to understand the basic concept of how a Yacht Controller works is to think of your boat as having a central nervous system. Instead of a spine, with nerves coursing out and connecting to all parts of your body, your boat possesses a CAN Bus, for Controller Area Network, which is a series of wires attached to various applications throughout the vessel. For marine purposes this is known as NMEA 2000 and is the industry standard protocol for interconnecting devices and sending and receiving data and therefore, instructions for operations. Once the Yacht Controller is wired in and activated, this includes speed and ramp-up time of throttles, shifting transmissions, direction of and duration of thrusters, pod drives, windlass, and other functions, the operator can use the device from anywhere on board. An FCC approved, band coded signal between the hand-held transmitter and properly installed receiver allows for seamless, dependable, and reliable operation. While a proper learning curve, including a necessary on-board training program, is expected, proficiency with the system, practiced in various conditions including wind, current, and close quarters, can be achieved in a relatively short.

Another safety factor is the proprietary dual band frequency giving the operator peace of mind that should some outside interference occur, rendering one band inoperable, the redundancy of having another at the ready, will continue the operations now set in motion. Think of a single band controller going down as you are negotiating a tight space with boats fore and aft as you find yourself already within the point of no return.

New Model Launch Nemesis

The launch of the new Nemesis system is designed for vessels under 50ft, including cruisers, yachts and center console boats many of which powered by outboard motors where Nemesis will be able to turn the motors in unison with the bow thruster for ultimate control. The advanced NEMESIS system allows for multiple channel combinations on dual frequencies, can control proportional and/or incremental engine speed as well as thruster speed, has an automatic mode feature for simplified automated docking assistance, and of course, is equipped with wireless charging. Other features include a remote range limit approach, Wi-Fi connectivity to smart devices, and remote Wi-Fi accessibility via VPN for real time customer service, upgrades and modifications from anywhere in the world.

Controller is part of The Yacht Group, an industry leading provider of premier luxury marine consulting and manufacturing services. The Group stands on its ability to provide its customers with the satisfaction, enjoyment, and safety of the on-water experience. Yacht Controller has been in business now over 20 years with over 27,000 delivered systems and shown the continued ability to evolve as technology does as well as meet the needs of the boater.

To that end, Yacht Controller has become the industry standard for remote vessel operations and has utilized all research and development, the latest in innovative technology, and exceptional service for its model line-up.
