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.

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.
