Yacht Sentinel and Fountaine Pajot announce partnership
Yacht Sentinel Ltd, a European company specialising in connected boat technologies, has announced it will be equipping all new build boats by catamaran manufacturer, Fountaine Pajot, from February 2021 onwards.
Sentinel Domotics (https://yacht-sentinel.com/products/sentinel-domotics/) is a revolutionary solution which the company says will enable Fountaine Pajot’s customers to remotely receive any data available on the NMEA network including engine and battery parameters, fluid levels, temperature, humidity and wind data, water depth, speed and GPS coordinates.
A smart switch is also available to turn on the NMEA system remotely for a short period when the NMEA system is switched off.
“We are delighted to partner with Fountaine Pajot and support the company’s transition into the new digital area of connected technologies,” says Romain Devismes, CEO of Yacht Sentinel. “Over the last 12 years we have built an entire boating ecosystem with boat owners and shipyards at the centre of our developments. This new milestone is a testament to our vision to be at the heart of the connected boat revolution.
“Sentinel Domotics creates outstanding value not only for Fountaine Pajot but also for its customers and dealers. This partnership is yet another demonstration that the boat industry is keeping up with connected technologies seen in the smart home and automotive industries.”
Information is displayed on a user-friendly Fountaine Pajot app said to give a better experience on the water and added peace of mind. Together with the Partner Platform, the ecosystem is said to set a new standard for the connected boat sector.
Romain Motteau, Fountaine Pajot Deputy Chief Executive Officer, comments: “We are pleased to work with Yacht Sentinel to provide our clients and dealers with this innovative technology solution. Not only can we now offer a customised app with all NMEA data to our customers, but the ‘Partner Platform’ allows us to improve customer support, reduce maintenance costs and better understand the usage of our boats, all critical aspects to continuously manufacture market-leading boats.”
