Who is Sensar Marine?
Founded in 2014 in Bergen, at the heart of Norway’s boating culture, Sensar Marine designs monitoring solutions specifically for recreational boats. Their focus is narrow by design: robust hardware, Scandinavian quality, and long-term reliability in harsh marine environments.
The Sensar Marine System
The core product is the Boat Monitor with Bilge Sentry, a compact hardware bundle that keeps watch over your vessel even when you can’t. The system monitors:
Battery health
Bilge water level and pump activity
GPS location and movement
Shore power (with expansion hub)
Temperature and key on-board conditions
All data is transmitted via built-in 4G to the cloud and then to your mobile app, giving you real-time visibility anywhere in the world.
Low Power, Always On
A major advantage is the internal rechargeable battery, which keeps the system operating for months without draining the boat’s own batteries. It recharges automatically whenever the vessel is charging.
What It Monitors. Why It Matters
-
Unlike basic float-switch systems, Sensar Marine measures actual water level in the bilge and tracks pump cycles. You receive an alert long before a pump becomes overwhelmed, offering true early warning against sinking or serious leaks.
-
Continuous voltage monitoring helps prevent flat batteries, failed trips, and undetected charging issues.
-
GPS tracking, geofencing, and motion detection allow owners to see if the boat has moved unexpectedly, from dragging anchor to attempted theft or impact while unattended.
-
Automatic tracking of position, movement, and usage helps owners review trips, diagnose issues, or share logs with service technicians.
Why Sensar Marine Is Ideal for NZ Boaties
