Yacht Thruster is a relatively easy-to-install external thruster offered in single- and twin-propeller models that attach on the outside of a hull, either bow or stern. The product is offered by the same firm that has sold thousands of wireless Yacht Controllers. The company asserts that the Yacht Thruster usually takes only about one to two hours to install the thruster itself (without cable connections).
The 239’ Predator spent several months cruising after leaving Holland last spring, allowing onlookers only a few glimpses of its surprising blue hull. We caught up with the yacht at its winter base off the Spanish coast where an informative tour of this stunning vessel revealed beauty that is much more than skin deep.
Raymarine adds two applications to their product lineup: the RayRemote and the RayControl. DeLorme’s already award-winning inReach device is now compatible with Apple mobile devices. And for those yachts not required to carry a Class-A AIS transponder, Digital Deep Sea has a compact solution.
Fuel costs are on the rise again and while this may not be the biggest ticket item in a yacht’s operation, fuel efficiency still is a big deal for both private and charter yachts. In addition to economy, the yachting industry is also looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly and is experimenting with solutions like alternate fuels, hybrid engines and new types of propulsion.
Cerion Energy, a company born in 2007 in Rochester, New York, has an answer that is immediately available. The company’s innovative—some have called it breakthrough—product allows captains to improve engine efficiency, thus reducing fuel bills while stretching a yacht’s range and reducing its environmental impact, without making any changes to the engine room.
Building upon and expanding its existing digital platform, German yacht builder Lürssen has launched the first of several free apps for iPad and iPhone users. These new apps will be great for fans of the builder and its iconic yachts, many included in most Top 100 lists.
Keeping up with the constant changes in available technology is practically a full-time job. During the Miami International Boat Show, we strolled through the convention center to catch up with some companies whose innovative products are already on our must-have list.
