A gamechanger
VisionAnchor S
Delivering the most Enhanced Anchor Safety for Family, Crew and Your Investment.
VisionAnchor S detects immediately when your anchor drags, reducing worry and risk and avoiding mishaps and damage.
Traditional anchor alarm apps and chart plotters track a vessel’s position, not the anchor. As a result, your vessel is at risk, as it can move within a set perimeter—typically 20 – 40 meters or more—without triggering an alarm. By that time, the vessel could be underway and, aided by strong wind or current, in danger—be it grounding or colliding with another yacht at anchor.
Only by monitoring the anchor can a skipper have total peace of mind and confidence that their family, crew, and vessel are safe and secure.
Based on real-life experiences, we have developed a high-precision monitoring solution for anchors. This solution obtains super-accurate anchor fixes by tracking four positioning systems, delivers rapid position updates, monitors communication from the monitoring unit to your vessel, and provides dual alarms.

Key Features
Self-Adjusting Buoy
The intelligent solution consists of a self-adjusting buoy. The Smart Box clips into the buoy, processes and transmits the satellite fix multiple times per minute to the onboard—and powered—Base Station.
-
VisionAnchor App (iPhone & Android)
Users can set the radius of allowed anchor movement from 3 to 30 meters—five meters is usually recommended. The app displays anchor and vessel positions on a map, shows the buoy’s battery status, and activates one of the dual alarms. -
-
The Base Station
Receives the data, alerts if the anchor is outside the user-defined radius, and connects via Bluetooth to the user’s smartphone or tablet to trigger an alarm. It also monitors and indicates communication status between the buoy and Bluetooth to the app, and serves as the Smart Box charger.
-
Complete Charging & Mounting Kit
Includes 12 V plug and 220 V charging adapters, a charger cable, a mounting kit, and a comprehensive user manual. -
With a 400 kg rating, the tether can act as a trip wire if the anchor becomes stuck. The manual explains how to use this functionality.
