Skipper ESN200
The Skipper ESN200 is a highly versatile, dual-frequency navigation echosounder designed to meet the most stringent IMO requirements for all vessel types. Featuring a high-resolution color touch-screen display, the ESN200 provides clear and detailed imaging of the seabed and water column across a wide range of depths. Its advanced dual-channel capability allows for simultaneous monitoring of two different frequencies, ensuring optimal performance in both shallow-water maneuvering and deep-sea transit. Built with an emphasis on connectivity, it integrates seamlessly with bridge systems via NMEA 0183 and Ethernet, providing mariners with the reliable depth data necessary for safe and confident navigation.
Skipper ESN100
The Skipper ESN100 is a compact and cost-effective single-frequency echosounder engineered for reliability and ease of use. This robust navigation sounder is designed to provide accurate depth measurements and seabed detection in a streamlined, user-friendly package. With its intuitive interface and high-contrast display, the ESN100 ensures that critical depth information is always visible at a glance, even in challenging bridge lighting conditions. Ideal for vessels looking for a dependable and IMO-compliant solution, the ESN100 combines durable hardware with simplified installation, making it a trusted tool for maintaining situational awareness and bottom clearance at sea.
Skipper EML
The Skipper EML echosounder is a high-performance depth measurement system designed to deliver precise seabed profiling and reliable acoustic returns for enhanced navigational safety. Built for demanding marine conditions, the Skipper EML provides accurate and continuous depth information that supports grounding avoidance, route planning, and improved situational awareness. With seamless integration alongside onboard navigation and charting systems, the Skipper EML ensures dependable performance and greater confidence while underway.
Skipper DL
The Skipper DL is a high-precision Speed Log system designed to provide accurate "Speed Through Water" (STW) measurements, essential for safe navigation and fuel efficiency. Utilizing advanced Doppler technology, the Skipper DL delivers reliable data even in challenging sea states and varying water depths. Its robust transducer design and intuitive interface ensure seamless integration with modern bridge consoles, including ARPA radar and ECDIS systems. Built for durability and minimal maintenance, the Skipper DL is the industry standard for vessels requiring consistent and precise speed monitoring for both maneuvering and offshore transit.
Skipper SATLOG
The Skipper SATLOG is a cutting-edge Satellite Speed Log that provides highly accurate "Speed Over Ground" (SOG) measurements using multi-constellation GNSS technology. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of international maritime regulations, the SATLOG offers a maintenance-free alternative to traditional hull-mounted sensors, as it does not require water-contact transducers. This system provides dual-axis speed data (longitudinal and transverse), offering superior assistance during docking and narrow-channel navigation. With its high-resolution display and easy integration with existing AIS and autopilot systems, the Skipper SATLOG ensures maximum reliability and navigational safety across the globe.
