    The Epitome of Luxury Service & Seamless Integration for Superyachts.

    GEST by YachtCloud

    In the realm of yachting and superyachts, every detail matters from design to service. Enter GEST by YachtCloud, a next-level service call system that provides guest service at the touch of a button. Designed to deliver luxury service through reliable technology, GEST sets a new standard in refined, intuitive communication between guests and crew.

    A Symphony of Luxury and Technology

    GEST is built to blend in with luxurious environments, whether on lavish yachts, private residences, or elite hospitality venues. It merges luxury technology and refined design, crafted with the finest materials like high-end leather, polished metals, and custom veneers, to enhance every luxurious touchpoint.

    Models That Embody Sophistication

    GEST comes in three exquisite models:

    • Solid Black: Sleek ABS matte finish with a nickel-chrome edge. Priced from €1,199.
    • Universe: Encased in premium leather with marine-grade sterling silver details. Around €1,499.
    • Boutique: Fully custom, tailored to match bespoke interiors and brand identities. Pricing on request.

    Each model is customisable with options for custom engraving, leather or wood veneers, and exclusive materials like 24 kt gold or bronze.

    Integration that Sets the Standard

    GEST installs with ease and elegance. Requiring only a simple Wi-Fi connection, no additional hardware or base stations, this system integrates seamlessly into existing Crestron or API-based yacht control environments. A dedicated GEST App or Local/GEST Cloud server provides management and monitoring, ensuring total operational efficiency.

    Intuitive, Elegant Interaction

    Using GEST is intuitive:

    1. Touch and hold for a standard or a priority service request.
    2. Feedback via light and sound, the ring glows green when a crew member has accepted the call.
    3. Emergency mode triggers a discreet alert for enhanced safety.

    The button is location-aware, assignable to rooms or crew, and supports two-way communication, ensuring privacy, clarity, and prompt service.

    Crafted for Reliability, at Sea and Beyond

    Every GEST button is the product of over 12,000 hours of engineering, testing, and refinement, responsibly crafted in the Netherlands. The result? A reliable service system that reflects YachtCloud’s commitment to luxury living. A stable, battery-powered design, enhanced with Qi wireless charging and system monitoring, ensures flawless performance even in remote high-end settings.

    Why GEST is the Smart Choice for Elite Environments

    • Effortless guest service: Simplifies service calls, elevating guest experiences.
    • Luxury output: Elegant, customizable designs that integrate seamlessly into high-end environments.
    • Reliable service: Solid hardware, smart feedback, strong connectivity, and safety features.
