Remote Access - Check your vessel’s status from anywhere

April 11, 2024 • 2 min read

Bringing peace of mind to all boat owners.

Owning a boat can be challenging at times, especially when you're not physically onboard. 

Boat owners frequently worry about the safety and security of their vessels when they're not aboard. This becomes even more relevant when you are moored in a guest marina or anchored in a remote location. Vandalism, theft, and emergency situations become significant concerns in these situations.

Moreover, before heading out on a boating trip, it's essential to ensure that the boat is ready and in good condition. Assuring the fuel levels and battery status can save us some unexpected surprises.

This is why we have developed Remote Access, to address your concerns and provide you with the assurance you need.

Remote Access

This week’s update introduces Remote Access, bringing peace of mind to boat owners by allowing them to check their vessel's status from anywhere.

With Remote Access, you can now effortlessly check the status of your boat from anywhere with an internet connection.

Wondering if your boat is still anchored where you left it? Curious about your fuel and battery levels? Wherever you are, just check in your boat, and you'll have access to real-time sensor data, ensuring that your boat is always ready for your next adventure.

Remote Access redefines the limits of what a chartplotter can do. The breach between Orca Core and traditional chartplotters is getting wider.

Your boat sensors are now fully accessible through the Orca App at all times. You can check fuel levels, battery status, and other vital parameters, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. It is like having a digital twin of your board always available. 

For you, it means you can be assured that your boat is in good state and ready for your next adventure.

The Future of Remote Access

Remote Access is incredibly powerful and it sets a new foundation for future development.

During the upcoming months, it will evolve to allow you to set alerts to be notified when unexpected events occur. Imagine being able to identify from home whether your battery was depleted. Or that boat moved from the place you're anchored. 

You can enjoy Remote Access and many other exciting features, with an Orca Core. There is no need to add any additional hardware as long as you have access to a WiFi network aboard.

Remote Access will be offered under a subscription package. However, all Core owners can access it free of charge during the initial beta phase.

Do you feel it is the time to get an Orca Core now? Order now, receive it in less than a week, and upgrade your boat before the season starts. As always, Orca gives you a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and free express shipping.
