SV.GOAT transforms your boat's NMEA 2000 sensors into a powerful monitoring system. The more sensors you connect, the more your app can do. Here's what we recommend for the complete experience.
Connect NMEA 2000 sensors to your boat's network. Each sensor you add unlocks new features in the app.
The GOAT device reads your NMEA 2000 data and sends it to the app, on board and, with Plus, from anywhere.
Real-time dashboards, smart alerts, voyage tracking, and advice built from your own data — all on your phone.
Fast internet at sea, far from the coast. The best link for remote access and cloud sync.
Works well in coastal waters with cellular coverage. Expect about 40 MB per day at anchor and 60 under way.
The heart of the setup. It reads your boat's NMEA 2000 network, sends the data to the app and keeps the anchor watch running on board. The app also works without one: on a boat with a DataHub it reads the DataHub over the boat Wi-Fi, and on a phone-only boat the anchor watch uses the phone's GPS.
The gateway to your entire Victron electrical system. Monitors batteries, solar, inverters, alternators, and shore power — all in real-time on your NMEA 2000 network.
Non-invasive ultrasonic tank level sensors for fresh water, diesel, and waste tanks. No holes to drill — mount externally on any tank material.
High-precision barometer on your NMEA 2000 network. The foundation of storm prediction — SV.GOAT's storm rules read the pressure trend to warn you before weather hits.
Monitor cabin humidity to prevent mould, condensation, and equipment damage. Especially important in enclosed spaces.
Temperature sensors for the cabin, engine room, fridge or freezer. Add each one as a card and set your own alarm.
Watch exhaust temperature to spot cooling problems or overheating before they damage the engine.
Apparent and true wind speed/direction. Unlocks the full sailing performance suite including polar diagrams and optimal course recommendations.
Position, speed, and heading data from your existing chartplotter or dedicated GPS on NMEA 2000.
See other vessels around you in real-time. Class B transponder recommended for both receiving AND transmitting your position.
When you're on board and on the boat Wi-Fi, all data stays on the boat network, with no mobile data used. Remote monitoring requires an internet connection on the boat.
| Scenario | Data Usage | Note |
|---|---|---|
| On board (Wi-Fi to the GOAT device) | No mobile data | All traffic stays on the boat network |
| Remote monitoring (via Starlink) | Depends on your plan | Some Starlink plans have a data limit |
| GOAT device at anchor | ~40 MB/day | Via boat Wi-Fi, 4G or Starlink |
| GOAT device under way | ~60 MB/day | Via boat Wi-Fi, 4G or Starlink |
| Offshore mode | Less on this phone | This phone checks the boat every 5 minutes and pauses cloud uploads. Your GOAT device's own connection still uses about 40 MB a day. |
We supply and pre-configure all recommended sensors and the GOAT device for your boat. Everything arrives ready to install — plug into your NMEA 2000 backbone and start monitoring.
All sensors connect via standard NMEA 2000 backbone. SV.GOAT is compatible with any NMEA 2000 certified device.
