BlackBox by Yacht Concept: A game-changer in Smart Yachting

In the era where connectivity, automation, and real-time data define excellence in marine technology, Yacht Concept is making waves with its newest innovation  – BlackBox. Recently highlighted by International Boat Industry (IBI), this cutting-edge system is rapidly gaining traction among yacht owners, charter fleets, and technical managers for its deep system integration and unparalleled operational transparency.


What is BlackBox?

Developed by Yacht Concept, a Polish marine technology company based in Gdańsk, BlackBox is a compact, intelligent data-logging device that captures every critical metric onboard a yacht – from engine status and GPS data to energy usage and diagnostics. It’s not just a recorder  – it’s a proactive control system designed to bring smart yachting to life.


Why is it becoming a must-have

BlackBox is more than another piece of marine hardware. It’s a comprehensive solution built around real-world use cases:

  • Timeline-based diagnostics: View and overlay various datasets such as battery charge, GPS tracks, and engine temperature. Understand not just what happened, but when and why.
  • System-wide integration: Say goodbye to juggling multiple screens. BlackBox supports Ethernet, CAN, NMEA2000, and RS-485, making it compatible with almost every modern onboard system.
  • Built to last: With a robust anodised aluminium casing, marine-grade waterproofing and a two-hour backup battery, BlackBox is designed for durability and zero maintenance for up to two years.
  • Universal accessibility: Full browser-based access, a dedicated OnBoard app, and the ability to mirror the interface directly from the chartplotter mean total control at your fingertips.
  • Data security: With both local and cloud-based storage, all operational data is secure, auditable, and always available for review by technical teams or fleet managers.

Tailored for every segment

For yacht owners, BlackBox offers intelligent energy management and fast, precise troubleshooting, including post-incident analysis.

For charter fleet operators, it provides a unified dashboard across multiple vessels, helping streamline operations, maintenance, and accountability.

And for insurance providers, BlackBox introduces a new era of transparency  – what happens onboard is now recorded and reviewable.


An international vision

With its official launch scheduled for July-August, Yacht Concept is already expanding its international footprint. Partnerships are underway in key yachting regions, including Florida, Spain, Croatia, and the Seychelles. The company originally started by supplying components to a local catamaran builder, but today it boasts a growing global presence and a diverse portfolio that includes GNSS systems, CCTV, remote controls, and smart yacht lighting.

According to Katarzyna Karasińska, Sales Director at Yacht Concept,

“BlackBox reflects our belief that yacht technology should be fully integrated, highly functional, and easy to use. We’re not just delivering a product – we’re delivering peace of mind.”


Backed by engineering excellence

The development of BlackBox reflects the innovation DNA of Yacht Concept. As Michał Danił, Automation Engineer at the company, notes:

“Our customers expect more than plug-and-play. They want full control – and BlackBox delivers that with intelligence and reliability.”

With the global yacht industry continuing to embrace digitalisation and smarter fleet management, BlackBox is positioning itself as a core technology in the modern marine ecosystem. Yacht Concept is not just redefining onboard monitoring  – it’s reshaping the future of yachting.
