The American superyacht publication MegaYacht News recently featured YIS in their superyacht tenders, toys and products editorial board. Launched in 2020, YIS is the ultimate luxury yacht infotainment system accessible anytime, anywhere.

Offering owners a modern adventure, YachtCloud’s Yacht Information System is the future of luxury yacht technology, engaging everyone on board with detailed information about their yachting journey in real-time, beautifully presented in interactive 3D detail for a more immersive yachting experience.

Shining a light on YachtCloud’s latest product, the Megayacht News shared their thoughts on the world’s coolest yacht information system.

Luxury technology: Say yes to YIS

“Young and young-at-heart megayacht guests often enjoy observing the captain in the wheelhouse, additionally asking questions. So, YachtCloud, a yachting-technology company, got to thinking. Why not put some of the same navigation details and general yacht operational details in the palms of their hands? Thus, Yacht Information System (YIS) is now out.

YIS is a software solution and therefore doesn’t use the onboard bandwidth. In fact, it’s a customizable app that owners and guests can download onto their smartphones and tablets. You can request it as an onboard TV channel, too. Regardless, the YachtCloud team of software designers can include a map of your megayacht’s journey. Alternately—or additionally—YIS can show you water depth and the yacht’s speed. The tech geeks among your friends and family can “fly” through the onboard systems, too.”

GEST is a luxury service call system that delivers ultimate service and maximum efficiency in seven-star hotels, superyachts and luxury environments around the world.

TIG (Technological Innovations Group) today announced a new partnership with Dutch luxury AV and IT system product developer, YachtCloud. TIG is a driving force for sales excellence in the AV/IT technology industry and this partnership marks a third strategic collaboration for the company which was founded in February of this year, after rebranding from Crestron EMEA. “YachtCloud is proud to announce that as of today, Technological Innovations Group (TIG) will represent all YachtCloud products in the EMEA region.

YachtCloud perfectly complements TIG’s existing brand portfolio. To launch the partnership TIG will be selling GEST – YachtCloud’s stylish and customisable steward call button. Easily enabled with a wifi connection, GEST is location-aware, intuitive and includes a two-way communication feature to provide a high-end guest service on yachts, in luxury hotel suites, high-end meeting spaces etc. Standard or priority calls are differentiated by touching the call button for two or five seconds and the subtle light and sound features indicate the status of each call, seamlessly informing the user that service will arrive shortly. TIG will be adding YachtCloud’s OMNIYON onboard media content service to its portfolio in the near future.

 “At TIG, we already hold a strong background in marine and hospitality technology, working for many years with Crestron to specify bespoke AV integrations for world-leading superyachts and luxury hotels. YachtCloud brings a new dimension of service to our offering, with high-end solutions that take the guest experience to a new level of luxury. Clients don’t need to look any further than TIG and can rest assured they are in expert hands from start to finish.” Robin van Meeuwen, President and CEO, TIG.
