Remote boat monitoring

Hello Sailor allows you to check your batteries, GPS position and other vital information from your mobile phone, utilising next generation LTE-M mobile networks.

Stay connected to your boat, wherever you are.

With continuous monitoring of your boat security, bilge pump, sensors and voltage levels, you will receive a text message if something isn’t right.

No monthly subscriptions

You can use a low cost Pay as You Go SIM to remotely monitor your boat for around £5/year.

With worldwide communication over LTE-M mobile phone networks, Hello Sailor retains back up capability to traditional networks where LTE-M is not yet available, providing uninterrupted coverage far into the future.

We’ll send a SIM out for you in the UK, but you can use whichever phone company you prefer.

Control from your phone

Control onboard systems with a text message, to prepare the boat before you arrive.

Self contained

Insert the SIM card and connect to your 12v or 24v system. You don’t need a Wi-fi or bluetooth connection.

Easy installation

Designed to be installed with minimal effort, 3 wires from your switch panel will provide power and alert you when your bilge pump is running or your battery gets low. GPS position and temperature sensors are built in to the main unit and can be accessed with a simple text message. Add other features when you have more time.

No app to download

Save the number as a contact in your phone and text Status to find out how your boat is doing. Hello Sailor uses SMS text messages for maximum reliability. There’s no intermediary cloud service to pay for, and your phone doesn’t need internet connection to receive a text.

Versatile boat security

Designed to be versatile, it can be used with creativity, with almost any type of switch – rather than expensive sensors, you aren’t tied to us, unless you want to be.

Make any type of remote boat alarm. A float switch for a bilge water alarm, a tilt switch to check she’s on an even keel, door sensors for a remote boat security system or your chart plotter output for a remote anchor drag alarm. You just need a switch. See the shop to learn more.

“To the Hello Sailor team,

I’ve just completed the installation of an Hello Sailor monitor, to your excellent instructions. It’s very user friendly and the big bonus is that it not reliant upon a WiFi connection, only cellphone coverage, which is far superior. Thank you” Mike Gunn

“We received an alarm from the first unit yesterday and actually the whole investment has paid already back now: we had some water in the bilge and were able to react on time” Kai

“The system is fantastic” Kenny

“Hi, my “Hello Sailor” is working well. And I am pleased that to say that my bilge pump only kicks in every 36 hours. It’s very reassuring to have it” Martin 

“I’ve just installed a Hello Sailor unit in my boat and it’s great” Kenneth

“Just a quick email to let you know that Hello Sailor is now fitted on our 23ft narrowboat. You may recall that I asked if a temperature sensor was possible and you kindly sorted this for me, it is a triumph and works perfectly” Dave

“Just fired up the Hello Sailor and it works really well, I’m very happy to have found your product. It’s currently set up with one of the bilge pumps and a high level sensor should the pump fail. I found it very straightforward to install and start up. I can fully relax now when I’m away from the boat. I’m so happy I got this.” Nick
