More and more boaters want access to the internet afloat. Marinas and ports as well as a large number of cafes, hotels, restaurants and service providers offer Wi-Fi connectivity but you may just miss that vital connection if you're moored or anchored away from the dock - especially if you're below decks about to enjoy a movie or catch up on email. The WL70 can offer reliable and fast connections up to about + mile/1km depending upon conditions.

Boating should be fun, safe and easy and its products integrate into existing and new boat networks to bring a powerful dimension to your on-board electronics. The company firmly believes that consumer devices such as iPhones and tablets, PCs and MACs have a place on board and can help make legacy systems compete with the latest in dedicated marine electronic products. Digital Yacht makes internet access whilst afloat easy and affordable as well as bringing all your navigation data to your favorite consumer devices - not just for you but for crew and guests too.
