What Customers Are Saying About the AISWatchMate...

In April 2010, while we were in Grenada I purchased an AIS WatchMate and fitted it to my yacht. It has been a brilliant piece of gear and my wife thinks it's the best thing that we have purchased. You can use my comments on your website if you wish. I have been happy with the 750 and after seeing different brands that others had bought in Europe I found it much more user friendly. Several of my friends have ordered WatchMates after seeing mine and have been pleased with it.

The AIS WatchMate Receiver has been a godsend in gauging vessel traffic -- previously mainly relying on monitoring Vessel Traffic Control -- and for those occasions where fog has settled in, especially given my decision not to install radar.

Overall, I am very pleased with the decision to go with this system. I investigated many others that struck me as too cumbersome and not the kind of instrument that would look good on a sailboat for which simplicity and elegance are the key themes.

Installation [of the WatchMate-850 and Vesper Marine splitter] was a snap... and getting the AIS info onto the chartplotter was straightforward as well. You all have a fine product and I look forward to using it on our trip to the Bahamas this winter.

We took a 5-day cruise up the Lake Michigan coast last week and had the opportunity to try out the WatchMate 850. We were really pleased with its performance. I really liked the anchor watch feature as well. – great peace of mind. I found the instrument dirt-simple to operate and totally intuitive.
