The 2013 Fishing Tournament and Boat Show Season is upon us. The fun was kicked off in January with the Costa Rica Los Sueños Signature Billfish Series. This past week brought the Miami Boat Show followed not long after by spring and summer fun-filled events like the Bahamas Billfish Championship, the Custom Shootout, the Big Rock, Pirate’s Cove, Bermuda Big Game Classic, and many other great tournaments. This summer is bound to be a blast.
We will be at many of these events and we hope to see you there. We will also be at your service as you participate in the hunt for that big catch. You can count on gplink to be ready should a problem arise and you need us.

The response to our service was very enthusiastic at the Miami International Boat Show, and as such we have a lot of plans to implement subsequent phases of the gplink service. We’re doing our best to listen to initial feedback and plan our offerings based on the needs we have perceived in the marketplace. One of the areas where we are prepared to leap ahead of the competition is the deep integration of our monitoring service to the electronic & mechanical systems of your Cat® engines.
Superior to it’s competitors, gplink yacht monitoring and diagnostics boasts a web-based interface offering much more than GPS coordinates and “geo-fence” features. We are actively developing the owner control panel to offer fleet views, alerts, reports, Google Maps mash-ups of current locations and past routes, and a robust package of real-time engine and core systems statistics. These critical engine data points include near-real-time read outs of:
- battery levels
- engine RPM
- oil pressure
- coolant temperature
- fuel burn
All of which we feel our invaluable tools to owners looking to remotely monitor their yacht’s current operation & status. One of the truly great things about developing a software-as-a-service company, is there really is no ceiling on the additional features and benefits we can roll out over the course of our customers’ subscriptions to gplink, and we plan to take full advantage of that strategy.

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.
