Wireless Yacht Controllers

• By David Schmidt
• Updated: November 4, 2019

An earnest crosswind piped across the waters off Florida’s Virginia Key, where the Miami International Boat Show was well underway. Victor Avila, Dockmate’s chief technical specialist, handed me a Dockmate wireless device and control of the Topaz 27 center-console—in clear view of several thousand spectators. As a lifelong sailor who’s shy about docking powerboats, I felt mild trepidation, but the system was so intuitive that I quickly got comfortable spinning circles and performing other maneuvers using the controller and, through it, the Topaz’s single screw and bow and stern thrusters.

Crosswinds, currents and skinny margins for error: At its brightest hour, docking is an art form. At its darkest, it’s a public shaming that so often comes with a memorable yard bill or marriage counseling (or, worse still, the hat trick). I had to agree that while wireless vessel controls aren’t mandatory safety equipment, they do make docking easier, safer and more intuitive.

At their core, today’s ­vessel-control systems, including Dockmate and Yacht Controller, consist of a wireless transmitter (the controller), a black-box receiver and a set of connecting cables. This hardware runs on sophisticated software that typically integrates directly with existing engine controls to deliver handheld wireless command of the yacht, so long as the transmitter is within range of the receiver. While each system differs, most wireless ones give operators command over the yacht’s engines or pod drives, bow and stern thrusters, anchor windlass, and horn. Additionally, some systems allow users to control peripheral devices such as passerelles or swimplatform elevators.

“The chief benefit is that boaters [can] leave the helm and have a closer look and still be in control with a transmitter that gives the same response and feel as [their] wired controls,” says Brian Sheehan, Dockmate’s spokesperson. “This is important in tight quarters.”

These systems can deliver fine motor control over a boat, allowing operators to slot a vessel into its berth smoothly, while freeing them to assist with docking duties.

“These aren’t cars: We’ve got wind and tide, and we’re always moving,” says Jerry Berton, president of The Yacht Group, which manufacturers the Yacht Controller. “Yacht Controller enables you to move the boat in any direction in as little as 1 inch at a time.”

A device’s interface controls typically include buttons, joysticks and/or levers, with joysticks being the newest and most intuitive version. User commands are transmitted to the system’s black-box ­receiver via one or more radio ­frequencies. In turn, the system’s receiver shares the commands with the vessel’s engines and systems.

“We’ve designed cables that are very similar to the manufacturers’ [cables], but we added a Y-splitter cable,” Sheehan says. “One line goes to [the vessel’s] existing controls, and one line goes to our receiver, and [our system] takes it from there, using analog modules and CAN bus interfaces.”

A new system being able to connect to a vessel’s existing controls is key.

“Manufacturers have spent fortunes making electronic processors that control the engines and throttles, and we do not want to bypass these,” Berton says.

Safety is paramount any time mission-critical commands are transmitted over radio frequencies, especially in crowded marinas with competing RF signals. Dockmate operates on the 433 megahertz frequency over five different channels using a military-grade, frequency-­hopping spread spectrum system, and each Dockmate transmitter is coded to match its receiver (think automotive fobs). Conversely, Yacht Controller is a dual-band system alternating between the 433 MHz and 916 MHz frequencies, and derivations thereof, every one-sixteenth of a second.

While their frequencies and features differ, wireless vessel-control systems work with most single- and twin-screw inboards, as well as pod-style drives and some outboards. Also, these systems generally use incremental throttle controls for inboards, but proportional controls are available for yachts with pod-style drives and/or proportional thrusters.

Engine type aside, wireless vessel control systems untether operators from the helm, allowing them to put eyeballs on the right bits of brine. While this ability adds utility and safety, these systems have narrowly defined onboard roles. ¶ “It’s only for docking,” says Sheehan, adding that the system is also useful for performing other low-speed, high-precision maneuvers such as anchoring, retrieving a man overboard, collecting crab traps or helping an angler land a pelagic prize. “We purposefully dialed back the rpm to a maximum of 30 percent of the engine’s capacity to keep boaters from using it for other means.”

Such authority settings can sometimes be custom-configured, however, Berton offers a cautionary note: “When you start going 5 knots [in a marina], your chances of accidents are high. The majority of the time, you’re going less than 5 knots.”

As with any crucial system, these require yacht owners to set up a sea trial to familiarize themselves and to identify vessel-specific customizations. For example, Sheehan says, Dockmate ­installers can dial down the bow thruster rpm to match the vessel’s stern thruster or modify the throttle governor.

Overall, yacht owners can expect far less ­stressful docking and easier close-quarters maneuvering—and, potentially, the ­ability to do short- or singlehanded cruising.

“People can run their boat, and they can tie it up by themselves,” Berton says. “This allows them to enjoy boating without grief, and it can be a marriage saver.”

Yacht Controller Performance Review

Enjoy this post sponsored by yacht controller..

Recently, Yacht Controller headed out on the water on board M/Y KARMA , a 93’ 6” (28.49m) 2021 Ferretti built motor yacht to test the latest Yacht Controller technology (Maximo/Supremo series). A group of seasoned captains participated by putting the Yacht Controller through its paces with several tests with excellent results and reviews.

Yacht Controller Key Features

While there may be wireless remote-control options on the market at the moment, Yacht Controller is the originator of the concept, and remains the undisputed leader in the field.  Currently used where trusted technology is a must on more than 150+ brands and 26,000 yachts such as Riva, Pershing, Ocean Alexander, Marlow, Maritimo, Princess, Galeon, Ferretti, Azimut, Hatteras, Sunseeker, Leopard Catamarans, Aquila, and Trawlers, just to name a few up to 150+ feet. Not only is the Porsche designed Yacht Controller remote precise and reliable in operation through its secure dual band RF frequency, but captains can also view, manage, and diagnose their Yacht Controller Maximo or Supremo from anywhere in the world using any smart device via Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for any in-person service calls.

Other key features of the latest Yacht Controller technology include:

• 64-bit quad processor receiver scrolling more than 100 channels to eliminate interference and provide ultimate redundancy and security.
• 100 times more powerful than any remote available.
• Instantly set/modify proportional or incremental control of engines and thrusters.
• Quick select of five customer pre-set profile engine speed settings to immediately suit onboard conditions and modify them any time via your smart device.
• Firmware upgrades remotely transmitted to keep your system up to date.

• Remote scanning for spectrum analyzation trouble shooting or bandwidth antenna tuning.
• Range in excess of 650 feet with Supremo.
• Two-way communication between remote and receiver.
• Compatible to mirror the receiver display on Garmin, Raymarine, other navigational screens, tablets etc. for easy viewing.
• Multi-functional capability for dual anchors, swim platforms, cable masters etc.

For captains, the above features can be invaluable while docking with limited crew, in tight quarters, or even inclement weather.

After sea trialing a number of maneuvers, the captains weighed in on their feedback:

• The captain’s experience ranged from those who have never used a remote system on a yacht, to those who have used one numerous times, and those that already have a Yacht Controller on their yacht.
• The captains felt the Yacht Controller remote gave them just as much control as operating the helm directly.
• The captains felt the Yacht Controller would provide significant assistance for docking with limited crew or single crew operations.
• Enhanced safety protocols were a major benefit seen by the captains.
• The remote made the captain’s life easier with many impressed with the precise control of gentle power in maneuvers when engaging the engines.
• The range offered by the Yacht Controller remote was given a five-star rating by every captain.
• The remote was then rated on a number of factors:

o   Responsiveness

o   Maneuverability

o   Ease of use

o   Intuitive design of the controller

o   Transfer between remote and helm

o   Connectivity

o   Safety features

o   Options for customization

After testing the technology all day and the remote in several ways, the captains were excited by the latest offering from Yacht Controller. Capt. Glenn Bregman shared, “I have been using your product for several years and find The Yacht Controller much better than the competition! Smoother starts and quicker reaction time.” While Capt. Carrie Jean commented, “The incremental progressive power increase is an amazing option for those tough docking condition days.”

When running a yacht in 2024, reliance on technology is no longer an option, but a necessity. Not only does using a remote make the captain’s life easier, but it takes pressure off the crew when docking and helps to tie up the boat and avoid damage. Yacht Controller has well proven technology and can be used on a wide range of yacht sizes from mid-size up to large super yachts.

MIAMI, February 14th 2024 — The Yacht Group, renowned for the “most trusted device in the marine industry,” the wireless Yacht Controller, now introduces “Nemesis” – the ultimate wireless docking control system designed for vessels under 50 ft, including cruisers, yachts, and center console boats, many of which are powered by multiple outboard motors. Nemesis harnesses our proven dual band technology and versatility derived from the highly successful Maximo and Supremo Yacht Controller products used on large yachts up to 160 ft. 

Tony Valiente, COO and Managing Partner of The Yacht Group, shared his insight into this advance by noting, “larger outboard motor-powered boats are rapidly becoming more popular, commanding higher price points, and incorporating sophisticated and advanced technology. That formula creates a growing customer demand for wireless docking control to simplify and improve the docking and anchoring processes. Nemesis fulfills that requirement using the foundation of the Maximo and Supremo Yacht Controller series, without the complexity of additional features designed for larger yachts and provides a new cost-effective option for seamless boat control complementing the industry’s fixed helm joysticks.” 

As Yacht Controller continues to lead the way in wireless yacht control, the introduction of Nemesis reinforces our commitment to delivering high quality remote docking systems for the US market.

Yacht Controller JCS PLUS can be used alone or integrated with the popular and UNIQUE wireless remote control mooring systems, Yacht Controller DUAL BAND and/or Yacht Controller SMART . With a simple movement of the hand, the Joystick JCS allows simultaneous operation of the motors and of the bow and stern thrusters, enabling you to moor and move the boat in any direction simply, without risk and danger, precisely and with total ease.

Yacht Controller JCS PLUS is very easy to install, with no difficult, invasive and costly work in the engine room; moreover, it does not require cables to be installed along the length of the boat but, after identifying the type of electronic throttle control installed on board, it is installed rapidly in proximity of the control station selected, either on the flybridge or in the saloon. Moreover, if the boat is already equipped with a Yacht Controller Smart or a Yacht Controller DUAL BAND system, it can be installed simply by attaching a connector to the receiver already installed aboard. Unlike other joysticks present on the market, Yacht Controller JCS PLUS offers maximum flexibility thanks to its automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode, the motors and the thrusters are used simultaneously to facilitate mooring manoeuvres even for those with less sailing experience. In manual mode, the thrusters can be activated as required, both together with the motors or separately, for better control of the manoeuvre you wish to perform.

Yacht Controller JCS PLUS is also the only one equipped with a control panel with LCD screen, also visible in sunlight, which has a clear and practical design of the boat with indication of motors and thrusters, showing you exactly what is activated in the manoeuvres being performed. The JCS panel can be used to configure the various operating modes, select language, units of measurement, accurate diagnostics and many other features. With throttle controls equipped with digital protocol, it can be used to manage acceleration, with different settings depending on the percentage of acceleration selected and its supply time. If the windlass (single or double) option is present, the weighing/lowering function with chain counter can be controlled from the JCS panel. It can also be integrated with the function SSS (Secure Sail System) developed by MZ Electronic, which allows retrieval at standard speed during weighing of the anchor up to the last 3 metres of chain, subsequently slowing down progressively to retrieve the anchor at minimum speed. This prevents the risk of damage and protects the windlass from harmful jerking that can cause breakage. System will stop anchor when totally weighed.

The YC JCS PLUS joystick is all this: another valid and essential aid for managing your boat, designed for you by Yacht Controller.

OUR PRODUCTS

EN JOY PLUS

After the launch of the JCS Plus, joystick fans will now be delighted with the new YACHT CONTROLLER EN-JOY Plus: the latest release in joystick remote controls. The YACHT CONTROLLER EN-JOY Plus has a new revolutionary 3 axis joystick that can manage movements in all directions, as well as boat rotation, with buttons also providing individual control of thrusters and up to 2 anchor winches. The three-axis joystick knob is specifically designed to ensure a good grip. The YACHT CONTROLLER EN-JOY Plus, like the others YACHT CONTROLLER wireless transmitters, is provided with two different transmission bands to avoid any interference caused by the presence of equipment nearby. Two flashing LEDs on the front of the transmitter indicate the simultaneous transmission of the two control signals on both bands. If there is any interference or operating faults on one of the two bands, the receiver automatically continues receiving on the other. […]
