Owning a yacht should feel effortless. With the Marinminds Connect Hub, you can bring your yacht online and enjoy remote monitoring, smart insights, and seamless management through the Marinminds Connect Platform.
The best part? Installation is simple. Here’s how it works:
1. Connect to the yacht’s NMEA2000 network
Your yacht already has a “nervous system” that links navigation instruments, engines, and sensors. The Connect Hub plugs into this NMEA2000 CAN-bus network so it can read data like speed, depth, fuel levels, or engine status.
2. Provide internet data connection
To share this information with you — whether you’re onboard or away — the Hub needs internet. This can be via your yacht’s router, a mobile data SIM, or satellite connection, depending on your setup.
3. Supply power (12–30V DC)
The Hub runs directly from your yacht’s electrical system. It works on any standard 12–30V DC supply, making it suitable for almost every yacht without extra converters.
4. Activate your subscription
The Hub is the gateway, but the intelligence happens in the Marinminds Connect Platform. Once you’ve activated your subscription, all onboard data flows securely into your personal dashboard.
5. Access your yacht from anywhere
With everything connected, you can log into the Marinminds Connect Platform from your phone, tablet, or computer. See your yacht’s status at a glance, receive alerts, and enjoy true peace of mind — whether you’re onboard or halfway across the world.
In short:
Plug into NMEA2000
Give internet access
Provide 12–30V power
Activate subscription
Enjoy effortless yacht management
