Top Five Tech Gifts for Boaters

You buy holiday gifts for your friends, your family, and if you’re anything like me, you buy gifts for your dog. Why not show yourself (and your boat) some love this holiday season? Here are our top five tech gifts for boaters.

 

 Sunscreenr

AS SEEN ON SHARK TANK! This camera will help prevent sun damage to your skin so you can stay on the water longer. If you’re not sure if sure if your skin is protected from the sun, this is the product for you. Sunscreenr’s Patented UV Camera technology shows where sunscreen isn’t applied on your skin—protected areas appear dark and unprotected areas appear light no matter your skin tone. The camera starts up when the Mobile for Android app is opened and the camera is plugged in. One feature of the app is an alert to reapply sunscreen.

MSRP $79

Yacht Sentinel 6

Keep an eye on your boat at all times. Yacht Sentinel 6 is an intelligent boat monitoring security system that enable owners to remotely check their boats’ status through a mobile app or online web app. The two-way communication system’s onboard central unit uses worldwide 2G/3G/4G coverage (with optional satellite communication) to monitor the boat’s critical information as well as motion detection and an interior breach.

MSRP $1,396 for the silver package

Dockmate Wireless Remote Control Systems
