🚨 SUPERYACHT TENDER LOSSES – COULD MORE BE PREVENTED? 🚤

Some eye-opening facts from the Joint Hull Committee Yacht Forum at Lloyd’s of London!

Our very own Dr Dan Rogers, CTO of Yacht Trace, joined industry specialists to discuss tender towing, insurance risks and loss prevention in front of an audience of marine insurers, underwriters, brokers and industry professionals. Captain Billy Stevens was also on the panel.

📊 KEY FINDINGS:

⚠️ Around 1 in 3 incidents were towing-related, yet they accounted for approximately 50% of repair costs.

⚠️ The majority of casualties could potentially have been prevented.

⚠️ AIS and GPS tracking alone aren't enough. Knowing where your tender is doesn't tell you what's happening onboard.

✅ Early intervention matters. Monitoring, crew training, maintenance and towing procedures all play a part in reducing risk.

At Yacht Trace, we're helping shift the focus from tracking a loss to preventing one through advanced, pre-emptive tender and chase boat monitoring.

A big thank you to the Joint Hull Committee and everyone involved for bringing these important discussions to the forefront.

We’ve now launched our Jet Ski tracking and monitoring, alongside chart plotter integration — expanding Yacht Trace from tender and chase-boat protection to greater whole-fleet visibility.

And, of course, Monaco was full of meetings, events, introductions and catching up with the captains, crew, insurers, yacht managers and industry friends who have supported us.

A huge thank you to everyone who made MYS26 such a memorable one. 🇲🇨

Superyacht monitoring company Yacht Trace in the new Pantaenius Yachting News ⚓️

A huge thank you to Captain Jonathan Chell of MY Andiamo for sharing his experience following the initial sea trial of Yacht Trace — subsequently used throughout a continuous 900nm passage.

And thank you to Pantaenius for featuring us in the new magazine.

At Cannes Yachting Festival this week? Pick up a copy and speak to the Pantaenius team about how Yacht Trace can support greater flexibility when towing and potentially better insurance terms.

📍 QSP 101 – Quai Saint-Pierre
📍 SAIL 115 – Port Canto

And we’ve gone beyond towing: whole-fleet tracking and monitoring for tenders, chase boats and Jet Skis, including positions displayed on the yacht’s chart plotter.

Whether towing, at anchor or out using the toys, keep the whole fleet visible and monitored — and reduce risk.

Prevention is cheaper than a cure.

Captain Ronny’s perspective on tender monitoring, lost tenders, price comparison for protecting against risk, and why AIS isn’t enough (for those tenders fitted with one).

A little while ago I spoke with Ronny M. Roskosch. We covered a few scenarios, and realities with tender operations.

AIS tells you where your tender is. It doesn’t tell you if you’re about to lose it.

As more tenders and chase boats are being monitored, it’s worth asking a bigger question:

Are you monitoring location, or are you monitoring risk?

In our latest video, we look at real-world scenarios with an experienced captain and explore why position alone isn’t enough.

If a bilge pump is running continuously…
If water is building up…
If the battery is draining…
If the tow load changes…

AIS won’t tell you.

By the time a position update suggests something is wrong, you could already be dealing with a flooded, damaged or even lost tender.

We also compare the cost of prevention against the true cost of losing a tender. A modern superyacht tender or chase boat can be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, before you even consider recovery costs, charter disruption, repairs, replacement and insurance implications.

With the longest operational experience in dedicated tender monitoring, we’ve seen how real-world requirements have evolved. That’s why Yacht Trace focuses on pre-emptive monitoring, not simply tracking.

✔ Live bilge and battery monitoring
✔ Real-time dynamic distance monitoring
✔ Secure proprietary two-way communications
✔ Works at rest, under tow and in use (anti-theft)
✔ Insurance-aligned advanced tow protection
✔ Fast self-install with no cutting or hard wiring

The question isn’t, “Why not AIS?”

It’s “What’s the true cost of losing a tender?”

There’s nothing better than seeing our technology out in the real world.

A huge thank you to Captain Ryan (and Lars), Jono and the crew of MY HANA for sharing this fantastic footage of their new Boston Whaler 380 Outrage, “Fishizzle,” equipped with the Yacht Trace intelligent towing system.

It’s always rewarding when captains and crew take the time to share how they’re using the system. Real footage from real operations says far more than any marketing video ever could.

At Yacht Trace we’re focused on helping crews monitor their tenders and chase boats while under tow, in use and at rest with real-time alerts for bilge, battery, distance and more—all through our proprietary two-way communication link. Then insured with greater flexibility and allowances.

Congratulations to the HANA team on the newest addition to the fleet, and thank you again, Jono, for capturing such great footage.
Glad to be part of the new family.

Thank you to Captain Jonathan and crew aboard MY Andiamo for sharing this night towing footage from Imperia to Montenegro.

Videos like this are more valuable than a testimonial. They show Yacht Trace being trusted and used by captains in real offshore conditions.

Unseen water in a tender or chaseboat adds weight, increases towing load, and can contribute to tow breakage. It also makes bilge pumps run excessively, which can flatten the battery stopping the pumps altogether. This can sink the towed vessel.

Yacht Trace monitors in real time:
• live distance between mothership and tender�• bilge activity�• battery status�• motion and vessel health�• worldwide tracking

Our own proprietary RF link means no reliance on AIS, cellular, Wi‑Fi or shore coverage. It is uniquely two‑way, so crew can communicate with and control systems on the tender without boarding at sea.

Fast self‑install. No hard wiring. No cutting into existing systems. Modular, scalable and available with bespoke functionality.
Tenders, chaseboats, jet ski in one system.

Trusted by captains and insurers. Priced transparently. Fully insured with greater flexibility and often lower deductibles.

If you are responsible for tenders, chaseboats or fleet operations, now is the time to improve visibility, reduce risk and protect your assets wherever they travel.

Contact Deborah Fry or Dr Dan Rogers at Yacht Trace today to discuss your requirements.

Dr Dan Rogers of Yacht Trace talks through the mothership side of the Yacht Trace Tender Monitoring System with Captain Ronny Roskosch.

Our mothership unit is designed to give captains and crew fast, clear visibility of what is happening with the tender while it is under tow, at anchor, alongside, or away from the yacht.

Uniquely, Yacht Trace uses two-way communications between the mothership and tender/fleet, allowing crew not only to receive fast alerts, but also to communicate with and control systems on the tender without needing to board it at sea.

The system can monitor tenders, chase boats, jet skis, and wider fleet assets using Yacht Trace’s own RF communications — without relying on AIS, mobile signal, satellite, or Wi-Fi. It has its own private RF link.

Fast, plug-and-play installation.�No splicing into existing systems.�No major hard wiring. Set up within an hour
Priced competitively - available on the website�Insurance clause ready

Monitoring includes bilge, battery, pitch, roll, movement, GPS position, and dynamic distance from the yacht — with satellite backup for additional tracking resilience and anti-theft.

Yacht Trace Tender Monitoring System�Real time asset protection, night towing support, extended distances, fleet monitoring, and insurance-recognised advanced tow protection.
