Horizon Power Catamarans opts for Dockmate for new vessels
Dockmate, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote-control systems for yachts, has been selected by Horizon Power Catamarans for remote control of all new Power Catamaran (PC) series vessels. All future power catamarans will be equipped with Dockmate twin remote control systems.
“Horizon Power Catamarans customizes every vessel to be the perfect blend of luxury and ease of use for each owner,” says Marc Curreri, CEO, Dockmate US. “They are very selective of the components included in every build and we are grateful for the level of trust that they have shown in choosing our twin remote controls. We are confident that every new owner or captain will appreciate the degree of control Dockmate provides.”
“We have been installing Dockmate remote controls on our power catamarans for some time now,” says Richard Ford, CEO and founder, The Powercat Company. “The reliability of the Dockmate system is unmatched and regardless of the size of the vessel, it makes shorthanded docking and anchoring a breeze.”
According to the manufacturer, Dockmate is a pocket-sized extension of the boat’s controls that can mirror its response time for a seamless user experience. It can be customized to meet the specific preferences of individual boaters. Using the included software, installers can make adjustments to the throttle RPMs in order to ensure improved response time and boat handling to meet challenging conditions, such as in heavy wind or current.
Each Dockmate system includes a wireless, handheld transmitter that is rugged, waterproof and floats. This transmitter has an easy-grip rubber finish and includes a lanyard and wireless charger, as well as a plug-and-play receiver compatible with most brands of engines and thrusters. The Dockmate signal reaches up to 165ft, which is by far the longest range available and does not require an expensive range repeater on boats over 80ft, such as with competitive products.
In March (2023) Dockmate expanded its dealer network to the Middle East region through a new distribution partner based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
