Recently, Hatteras Yachts unveiled the magnificent Hatteras M90 Panacera at the Hatteras VIP event in New Bern, NC. The 90-foot yacht fits nicely in their product lineup between the 75′ and 100′ yachts. The vessel is powered by twin Cat® 1,900 bhp C32 engines, with a cruising speed of 22 knots. The M90 will make its official debut at the upcoming Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show on A-Dock.
gplink works side by side with the new Hatteras HattCON to provide the most robust total vessel management package in the industry. (more…)
We invite you to join us at the 53rd Annual Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 25-29. This years boat show covers over 3 million square feet of space, showcasing boats, seminars and exhibitors. This is one of the largest shows on the East Coast, and we are excited to be a part of it.
You will find gplink located in the Caterpillar display area, Engine Tent 1213-1214. Stop by and see our informative slideshow at the gplink kiosk (and if you get there early enough you may just find some neat items to take home with you).
Gregory Poole Marine Manager Dan Webb recently worked with Hatteras & Cabo Yachts to make gplink® a standard piece of equipment installed on every Cat® powered yacht built at their factory. Customers placing new orders will now receive the gplink real-time vessel monitoring and support system on their vessel.
Offering the convenience of in-house installation at the New Bern manufacturing plant, Hatteras & Cabo customers can now pursue boating adventures with confidence from their very first launch, affording more time to enjoy their boats and less time worrying about them. Owners, families and captains find themselves more relaxed, both on board and away from their vessel, because the gplink product monitors systems in real time, with around the clock support and notification included. Maintenance logs, which are archived by the system, also greatly increase Hatteras & Cabo resale values and owners of vessels using the gplink system are afforded discounted insurance rates by ACE® Insurance.
Boston Yacht Sales (BYS) customers with Cat® power now have easy access to gplink® real-time vessel monitoring and support system. Dedicated to serving all of their customer’s needs, both BYS locations in Weymouth and Falmouth, Massachusetts now have gplink trained installers on their service teams. Whether ordering a new Hatters or purchasing a pre-owned vessel from Boston Yachts, it is more convenient than ever for a Cat power customer to protect their investment with gplink’s monitoring and tracking services.
This weekend, May 18-20th, Boston Yacht Sales & gplink will be offering a special opportunity to demo the gplink service currently active on a Hatteras 60C, in conjunction with the their 3 day open house in Falmouth, Massachusetts.
Dan Webb, Marine Business Manager for gplink will be on-location presenting information about the unique monitoring, tracking & security features of the service. Learn about this real-time vessel monitoring and support system during continuous monitor presentations under the tent:
Friday, May 18: 2pm-4pm

We will have information kiosks in Caterpillar Marine’s booths at both venues, as well as representation on the Hatteras barge thanks to our friends at Hatteras Yachts & CABO Yachts. You should also be able to find out more information from sales representatives at MarineMax, HMY Yacht Sales, Paul Mann Custom Boats & Spencer Yachts.
Robert, Just wanted to touch base with you after having GPLINK onboard the 68′ Hatteras, Gulf Rascal for the last 6 months. I can’t tell you how happy we are with the system and the service. For me, my boss and anyone else we choose, to be able to constantly monitor the systems and movements of the vessel is truly amazing. On more than one occasion you have personally called my cell phone to advise me of an alarm. Once, while in the boatyard in Puerto Rico, you advised us of AC power loss. Your heads up to me on that problem saved us literally thousands of dollars in spoiled meat and bait. That one incident alone paid for the install and the service. Certainly use me as a reference in the future to recommend GPLINK. Hats off to you and the GPLINK team. I’m looking forward to future enhancements and our use of your system.
Best regards, Capt. Billy Borer
68′ Hatteras – Gulf Rascal
As we approach the initial gplink debut at the Miami Boat Show, we’re pleased to announce the installation and addition of our tracking systems to several more yachts up and down the Eastern seaboard.
It is our hope to have a veritable fleet of gplink installs to demo to Hatteras Collection owners in Miami, as we have seized on the opportunity to install the system on several 68′ Hatteras Convertibles, in addition to the initial 60′ Motoryacht installation. It’s our intention to have several boats fishing the Gulf Stream, showcasing the tracking & engine data capabilities while we present our service to Hatteras executives and prospects back at the Show docks.
We’re very excited about the quick progress of the service and our ability to showcase our technologies to the marine industry. See you in Miami!
gplink, a new yacht tracking and remote engine monitoring tool will announce their initial product launch at this coming week’s Miami International Boat Show & Strictly Sail events. Initially rolling out to “Hatteras Collection” (Hatteras & Cabo) yacht owners, the service seeks to fill a primary need of modern yacht owners and captains; the ability to remotely track, monitor, communicate, and diagnose yacht assets without the need for a physical presence on the vessel.
With several other yacht tracking services already in this space, gplink seeks to provide unparalled integration with Cat® engine electronics and diagnostics. All gplink plan offerings will also overlap Concierge services which have been successfully provided by a network of authorized Cat® Marine providers for a number of years now. The end-vision is the creation of a truly, fully managed maintenance & service experience for enrolled Cat® engine owners.
Interest among Hatteras & Cabo owners is expected to be strong, and installation and support for any other yachts powered by Cat® engines is will be rolled out shortly.
gplink personnel will be present throughout the Miami Show on the Hatteras Collection barge, and we hope to see you there! We’d love to have the opportunity to demonstrate the unique benefits of our new service and show you a typical installation aboard the 60′ Hatteras Motoryacht, Shaken Not Stirred.
