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 data, and more in a single 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 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 — GPS, Wind, Sounder, Environment, and more.

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.

Stay Aware Configurable alarms alert you visually and audibly when any value crosses a threshold. Keep a full NMEA log for review and diagnostics.

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 Upgrade once for the full feature set. No recurring fees, no hidden costs, no adds.

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

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.

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.

Works well. I have the full app on the ipad. Has trouble connecting to Ultrasonic portable. Other apps have no problem connecting.

I use this app every time I’m out. I have the Quark A206 and run this program on my iPad in “multitasking mode” alongside AquaMaps as a full scale chart plotter replacement. Works great, can get NMEA data to both apps at the same time and this provides a great compliment as instrument display.

I guess I should have heeded the warnings of the other reviewers. Indeed when I try to connect to my Vesper XB-8000 (listed as supported), the app just crashes. Wasted money.
