Customers love the award winning features that have 

been designed to make AIS WatchMate the easiest 

device to use on your boat.

  Listing of vessels by target priority,

  Multiple profiles based on location,

  Plot future crossing positions, 

  Anchor Watch to monitor anchor drag,

  Low power consumption,

  and of course WatchMate is a dedicated

 

AIS safety instrument independent of all 

 

other equipment.

only displays the vessels that may be on a collision 

course, removing the uncertainty and stress related to 

navigating in highly congested and isolated waterways.

its built in GPS receiver, IP67 rated water proofing and 

multiple mounting options.
