Features & Capabilities

Marine Data on Your iPhone & iPad, Apple Watch, iPod Touch or ActiveLook® smartglasses. Connect, customize, and sail smarter with the first and most versatile marine-App.

Your boat's instruments, right in your hand. NMEAremote connects your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch to your vessel's network and navigation system and brings all critical marine data to a bold, easy-to-read dashboard — wherever you are on deck. Whether you're racing offshore or cruising coastal waters, NMEAremote delivers real-time wind, speed, depth, GPS, AIS, engine data, and more in a single, fully customizable display. The first NMEA app ever on the App Store, now a trusted Swiss Army knife for sailors worldwide.

Broad Compatibility Supports NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, Signal K, and MQTT from virtually any device. Compatible with Expedition, B&G H5000, A&T, and a wide range of preconfigured sources including Actisense, Digital Yacht, Yacht Devices, B&G, and many more — over WiFi or Bluetooth.

Your Data, Your Way All values are organized into intuitive Modules — AIS, GPS, Wind, Navigation, Sounder, Heading, Environment, Performance, Racing, Engine, and more.

Customizable Dashboards Create personalized displays tailored to your needs. Focus on the data that matters most to you. Build the dashboard you need: choose layouts, add pages, set favorites or just use the comprehensive default dashboard. Every numeric value can be individually smoothed for clean, stable readings. Set a custom color for each instrument title and value — match your cockpit aesthetics, improve readability in sunlight or at night, or color-code data by category at a glance. Your dashboard, your palette.

Built for iPad — Side by Side with Your Charts NMEAremote supports iPad Split View, so you can run your favourite charting app on one side while NMEAremote displays clean, live instrument values on the other. No more switching back and forth. Your chart and your data, together on one screen.

User-Friendly Interface Clean, intuitive design makes it easy for both experienced sailors and beginners to navigate.

Performance Sailing Import your polar diagram and unlock full performance analytics — Polar Speed, Target Speed, VMG, Beat & Gybe angles, and more. Ideal for racers who want that extra tenth of a knot.

Stay Aware Configurable alarms alert you visually and audibly when any value crosses a threshold. Keep a full NMEA log for review and diagnostics. Forward data to other devices with the built-in server/repeater.

On Your Wrist & Glasses Native Apple Watch app runs independently from your iPhone. Supports ActiveLook® smartglass integration for hands-free, heads-up sailing data.

Accessible to All Sailors NMEAremote supports VoiceOver, Apple's built-in screen reader. Instrument titles and live values are fully accessible — so every sailor can stay informed, eyes-free, at any time.

One Purchase. No Subscriptions. No Registration required Buy once for the full feature set. No recurring fees, no hidden costs, no adds.

No charts — just clean, reliable instrument data done right.

Really love this app but really Wanted to use it on my Apple Watch. Pretty disappointed that it doesn’t stay connected unless you have your iPhone app open. The Apple Watches wifi should be able to work just like it does on the iPad or iPhone. I want to look at my watch and see any NMEA data I want on a complication.

I sailed across the Pacific using this app in conjunction with an NMEA-WiFi hub to view boat and wind data. Very practical and fully customizable. I especially enjoy the data smoothing function. Highly recommend.

I love the idea of this app and it works pretty well! However, I did not find the UI intuitive (I’ve been an app developer for over 10 years). My biggest wish is AWA and TWA relative to my course - like my Raymarine instruments display. Perhaps this exists but I was unable to find it after 20 minutes of set up. The double tap to edit/add a gauge is difficult to discover. The green + and the multi blue plus are not obvious as to what they do. Overall, I’d suggest that the developer hand the app to a brand new user and watch them try to use it, noting the UX pain points and feature discoverability. A nice technical app and good integrations, but could use some polish to be great. I’m unaware of a better option on the App Store.
