Sensar Marine at Hines Marine —
Know what your boat is doing — 24/7, from your phone.
Sensar Marine is always-on cellular boat monitoring. The Boat Monitor is the brain of the system: it runs 24/7 on its own internal battery — up to four months of power, recharging itself whenever your boat batteries charge — and sends battery, position, movement and alarm data straight to the app. Add the Bilge Sentry for exact bilge water-level readings, and the Expansion Hub to unlock NMEA 2000 data, shore power, fire and theft monitoring, and more battery and bilge pump banks. We install the system, and we also handle account creation and ongoing management for you.
The Sensar Marine gear on our boats.
Not a catalogue — this is what actually goes into the packages we build, pulled from the vessels on our fleet page.
Boat Monitor
The system's brain — always on, maintenance-free, and drawing no power from your boat. It monitors up to two battery banks through the marine-grade cable set, and the built-in GPS sensors keep the app updated with your boat's position, GeoFence status and Triplog at all times. Installs without screws or metal components using the supplied industrial tape and a pair of pliers.
Expansion Hub
Unlocks a comprehensive suite of additional wired sensors and features for your Boat Monitor: NMEA 2000 data, shore power, fire and theft monitoring, two additional battery banks, and a second bank of bilge pumps — with optional offshore satellite coverage. Connects with a single provided cable, and further capabilities (a 2nd Bilge Sentry, up to six battery banks, more sensors) arrive by software update. Awarded a Special Mention in the Safety and Security Aboard category at the METSTRADE 2025 DAME Design Awards.
We set it up, and we manage the account.
Most owners don't want to spend an evening configuring alert thresholds. We install the hardware, create and configure your Sensar Marine account, set the GeoFence and alarm limits to suit how the boat is used, add the crew or family members who should get alerts, and stay on the subscription side so it keeps working season after season.
