Smart Buoys & Buoy Groups

SeaFarer Commercial subscribers have acccess to the Blue Ocean Gear smart buoy integration. See Smart Buoy positions, status, and sensor data in one place.

Overview

When you run Blue Ocean Gear Smart Buoys, SeaFarer syncs buoy data automatically. Review individual buoy data and sensor values, and organize buoys into user-defined Buoy Groups. Buoy Groups allow you to see data for multiple buoys at once, so you can track any subset of your equipment. Smart Buoy data are automatically attached to catch records when Deckhand electronic logbook are used, so buoy sensors and catch records stay linked.
