Yacht Infotainment System (YIS) is now available on Apple TV, offering yacht owners a new, simple way to experience onboard information, visuals, and itineraries through a familiar and easy‑to‑use platform.
The new YIS Apple TV app, available to download directly from the Apple App Store, introduces a visual and interactive presentation layer while keeping the existing YIS backend unchanged. Nothing breaks, nothing becomes more complex, it simply adds an extra, engaging way to experience YIS.
A New Visual Experience, Built on a Proven System
YIS on Apple TV acts as a presentation layer on top of the existing YIS backend. The core system remains exactly the same, ensuring reliability and stability.
Key highlights include:
- Customisable slideshow presentations
- Fully configurable slides
- Yacht‑specific content
- Owners or crew can choose which pages to display
- Slide display time is adjustable through the YIS manager
- Interactive mode
- Explore the yacht’s itinerary on an interactive world map
- See current position and destination
- Move freely around the map
Simple by Design
The guiding idea behind YIS Apple TV is simplicity.
- Easy onboard enrolment
- Faster and simpler deployment
- No additional system complexity
- Nothing critical can be broken
For new YIS customers, the Apple TV solution can run on a virtual server, making it possible to deploy quickly and expand later to the full YIS ecosystem.
For existing YIS users, the Apple TV app is a seamless addition that works directly with the current YIS backend.
An Extra Experience for Owners
The Apple TV app is not designed to replace existing systems, but to enhance the owner experience.
It offers:
- A visually rich way to explore the yacht
- An engaging tool to review itineraries and destinations
- An “extra cool” feature for owners to interact with during downtime
There is no new pricing model associated with the Apple TV feature.
