“Destinations” available for in-app purchases
Introducing a smarter way to explore the sea
Whether your fleet has 3 or 300 yachts, all charter companies have one thing in common: you want guests to be satisfied with their sailing experience. A seamless vacation, beautiful places, and delicious food and friends are the beginning and end of your guests’ sailing trip. But…
Sailing can be stressful.
There is no greater fear for a sailor than finding themselves in the middle of a storm that makes them lose control over their boat. Moreover, if you rent a boat and set sail in foreign waters — serious danger and fright might occur. That is why before embarking on a new destination we all manically check and re-check the weather conditions and forecasts.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
After a long day of sailing and sunbathing, you will be looking for a good anchoring spot to spend the night. Tomorrow is calling out for you to continue your vacation by waking up and jumping into the azure first thing in the morning. But, alas, after arriving at your chosen spot you find it’s already full of boats. Now you have to look for another spot to drop the anchor, and it’s getting dark already.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Despite all the efforts of a charter company, such events can leave your guests with a bittersweet memory of their sailing trip.
We found a way to relieve this stress.
Ladies and gentlemen, fresh from the lab, and with much love and excitement, Sentinel is presenting a revolutionary recommendation tool for finding your next sailing destination based on the current location, weather conditions, and points of interest. The solution is designed for bareboat charters and all sailing lovers, under the feature name Destinations.
Whether looking for a daytime swim, unforgettable sunset, or an overnight stay, Destinations tailors its recommendations to desired preferences. Pick the one that fits the most with you and get moving!
The tool simplifies sailing in foreign waters and lets anyone explore like a local. With tens of millions of nautical miles of experience and continuous monitoring of weather conditions, the tool suggests safe destinations only.
Be spontaneous, but without taking any risks of being spontaneous.
It’s like a TripAdvisor for the sea, only it adapts its recommendations in real-time based on weather conditions. Let me put it this way — it acts as a local AI crew member, in your pocket.
— explains Pedro Kostelec, CTO at Sentinel Marine solutions
The dream day of all charter companies has come — you no longer have to worry your bareboat yachts won’t find their way to beautiful bays safely. You can finally relax knowing your guests are safe and amused.
From the end of June 2022, Destinations is available in Croatia within the Sentinel mobile apps for all users, not only charters. If you are sailing outside Croatia and are interested in this feature, leave your e-mail address at www.bayfinder.app, so that we can decide which area/country to support next.
Since many different smart solutions have already transformed our everyday life, it was only a matter of time before offshore life will be influenced in a similar way. Destinations is reminding us how sailing can be more about sailing and enjoying, and less about planning and worrying.
What is there left to say? Keep your eyes wide open and a phone battery full, ’cause you (and your tourists) need this app.
