Reviews and testimonials

Our experience with the Sentinel device has made it much easier for us to monitor the boat and make proactive decisions. For example, when we notice a drop in battery capacity, we can order and replace it before our guests even notice, preventing any potential complaints. I would also like to thank Ivan for his excellent service and support. Our experience with Sentinel devices has truly enhanced the quality of our business, and our guests can feel the difference as well. Many thanks, on behalf of Kek Yachting.

We rely on Sentinel to monitor our charter fleet, particularly to monitor key data such as diesel levels and, most importantly, battery status. The app is invaluable in helping us ensure a smooth rental experience by notifying us if the battery level is too low so we can take proactive action and notify our customers. Overall, Sentinel has proven to be an essential tool that brings efficiency and peace of mind to our operations.

We are very satisfied with Sentinel, not only for us but also for our clients who value feedback about their route, miles traveled and average speed. On the other hand, it makes our job easier, because with tracking we know where they were, whether they refueled, what is the state of the batteries and other very useful information.

As for Sentinel, it has everything that a charter company and a boat owner need. We use the position the most to locate ships while they are on charter, to warn them of storms if they are not in a safe harbor, and to monitor their return to their home base. Before the installation of Sentinel, guests used to call us and ask for assistance, without even knowing which bay or island they were in. With Sentinel, this helped us many times with position detection and intervention. Another option that helps us a lot with detecting malfunctions and extending the life of batteries is the Battery monitor. Our guests like the option "Check Out Report" and "Share Trip", which they publish on social networks.

Our cooperation with the Sentinel Marine solution’s system has proven to be extremely useful and effectively contributes to the management of our fleet. With the help of Sentinel technology, we have constant insight into the position and condition of our boats, which enables us to react quickly and improve the safety of our charter fleet. We are pleased to confirm the successful cooperation with this system, which significantly contributes to the optimization of operations and the quality of service to our clients and boat owners.

As Yachtcharter Huibers, we are extremely satisfied with Sentinel. Three years ago, Sentinel’s system helped us save the lives of nine guests aboard one of our rental boats. These guests had used an electric grill several times while the boat was off the shore power, which later caused a short circuit in the batteries. When they reconnected to shore power, the batteries began emitting toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. Thanks to Sentinel, we noticed this in time and could immediately instruct the guests to leave the boat. Had they gone to sleep, they would not have survived – we are sure of that. Sentinel is truly an invaluable asset for any yacht rental business.

FAQ

What is Sentinel Fleet Management, and how can it benefit my business?

Sentinel Fleet Management is a comprehensive solution designed for charter companies, rental businesses, and professional fleet operators. It enhances operational efficiency by providing real-time monitoring, automated reporting, and predictive maintenance alerts, ensuring that vessels are well-maintained and efficiently utilized.

How does Sentinel's real-time monitoring work?

Sentinel’s platform continuously collects data from your boats, including location, battery levels, fuel status, and engine RPM. Fleet managers can track vessel movements in real time and receive instant alerts for issues like low battery or unauthorized movement. The system adapts to different service levels, with higher tiers offering more comprehensive monitoring of vessel data, ensuring you track the parameters that best suit your needs.

What features does Sentinel offer to improve guest and rental management?

Sentinel provides several features tailored to enhance the rental experience and streamline operations for fleet managers:

  • Trip Logging: Automatically records details of each journey, including position, course, and speed, for easy documentation and incident review.
  • Geofence Alerts: This feature allows fleet managers to set up virtual boundaries around a vessel's intended operating area. If a vessel moves outside of these boundaries, fleet managers receive immediate notifications. This is essential for ensuring that vessels remain within designated operational limits and helps prevent unauthorized movements.
  • Alert Zones: This feature lets fleet managers define high-risk areas to avoid while sailing. If a vessel enters an Alert Zone, the crew onboard receives an instant notification, allowing them to take timely action to ensure safety.
  • Fuel Station Verification: This feature provides insights into when and where a vessel last visited a fuel station. While it cannot directly confirm if the vessel was refueled, fleet managers can assess fuel usage by analyzing the mileage traveled after the last petrol station visit. This helps ensure accurate tracking of fuel consumption and assists in managing costs effectively.
  • Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA): Offers real-time tracking of vessels to optimize scheduling and prepare for incoming rentals.
  • Digital Check-In & Check-Out: This feature simplifies the check-in and check-out process, making it contactless if needed.

Can Sentinel help improve my fleet’s profitability?

What type of reports can Sentinel generate for fleet operators?

Sentinel compiles data into user-friendly reports that help fleet managers monitor performance, maintenance needs, and compliance. Key reports include:
