Crowdsourced bathymetry - Helping to chart the unknown
Our oceans are largely unexplored, with only about 26.1 percent of the seabed known. To support ocean activities, monitor changes in the marine environment, and implement sustainable practices, increasing our knowledge is crucial. Crowdsourcing depth data offers a unique chance to support /contribute to the creation of a detailed map of the ocean floor.

Advanced Towing System
When the 66m catamaran Hodor was launched in 2019, it amazed even the most seasoned insiders. Although a large boat in its own right, Hodor had been built as a shadow vessel for a superyacht, a floating toy box designed to carry all the gear and playthings guests might wish for, from jet skis, all-terrain vehicles and trail motorbikes to an Airbus H145 helicopter.

Pantaenius Recognises Anchor Monitoring Technology With New Yacht Insurance Provision
Pantaenius has introduced a new policy provision that recognises the use of continuous anchor monitoring technology. From September 2026, Pantaenius will reduce the deductible by 50% on claims for collision, stranding or grounding where the loss results from an anchor slipping or coming loose from the seabed. This provision only applies where the yacht had a technically functional anchor monitoring system in place at the time of the incident, installed by a specialist company, continuously monitoring GPS data and, at a minimum, movement data from a sensor attached to the anchor or its chain.

Keeping Andiamo's Tender Safe During Extended Operations At Night
Protecting a superyacht tender or chase boat is about far more than knowing where it is. During towing and operations, understanding the tender's condition can be just as important as its position.

Mental Health Support for Yacht Crew
Working away from family and friends can be tough for the yacht crew. They may find it harder to talk about feeling down or stressed compared to people ashore who see their loved ones daily. Communication with home can be limited. Crew members often deal with other challenges like monotonous routines, long hours, shift work, and isolation.
Depth of control
Spring 2025. Off the coast of Palma de Mallorca, a group of captains and technical experts gathers aboard a 24-metre superyacht. On the surface, it’s a calm day. Below the waterline, however, a silent revolution is underway. Anchored securely in a sandy patch off the coast, the vessel’s position is being monitored—not just by the crew—but by a smart system embedded directly in the anchor chain. Every movement is tracked. Every load is recorded. And if the anchor begins to shift, the crew is alerted in real time—before the vessel reacts.
