Navigation: Technology and equipment on the boat

Navigation equipment: chart plotters and GPS for precise steering

Navigation is the centrepiece of every voyage and indispensable for safe orientation at sea. Modern technology such as chart plotters, GPS devices, radios and electronic nautical charts are now standard equipment on almost every yacht. Electronic nautical charts in high-resolution, vectorised display provide all the important information for safe navigation. With details such as water depths, petrol stations, shops and harbour masters, they make every route easier. Combined with a high-quality GPS device or chart plotter, you can navigate precisely and reliably, even in difficult waters. Compass24 offers an extensive range that has the right solution for every need.

Classic navigation: compasses and binoculars

In addition to electronic navigation, no boat should be without a reliable compass. Compass24 offers a large selection of high-quality marine compasses that are suitable for both beginners and professionals. The range is complemented by binoculars and monoculars, which guarantee a clear view of obstacles, landmarks or other ships.

Communication on board: radios and antennas

VHF handheld radios ensure smooth communication on board. They enable communication with other ships, harbour authorities or rescue services and are an indispensable part of any safety equipment. Compass24 also offers DVB-T, VHF and TV antennas that ensure the best radio and television reception on board.

Weather technology: safety through precise forecasts

In addition to navigation, the weather also plays a decisive role in safety at sea. Compass24 offers weather stations and parallel weather receivers that provide precise forecasts and important information such as storm warnings, distress messages or weather changes directly on board.
Navtex weather receiver: Provides up-to-date marine weather reports, nautical warnings and multi-day forecasts for the North Sea, Baltic Sea and IJsselmeer.
Weather stations: With comprehensive data on air pressure, wind force and temperature to recognise weather changes in good time.

Radar and measuring devices: For maximum precision

Radar is an indispensable tool for recognising obstacles and other vessels at an early stage in poor visibility. Compass24 offers modern radar systems that provide you with maximum safety. The equipment is supplemented by measuring devices such as echo sounders, which display water depths and bottom structures in detail, as well as barometers and hygrometers for precise weather observations.

Tip: Use modern technology in combination with classic navigation to be optimally prepared for any situation. Whether you opt for a complete system or individual components: Compass24 supports you with high-quality equipment for all aspects of boat navigation.
