The sailing world has lost one of its brightest stars.
We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Charlie Dalin, the record-breaking winner of the 2024–25 Vendée Globe, at the age of 42.

What makes his achievement all the more extraordinary is that, while the sailing world watched him push the limits of performance, resilience and seamanship, he was quietly fighting a battle few knew about.

In an era obsessed with visibility, he chose dignity over attention and determination over sympathy. He crossed oceans, set records, inspired a generation of sailors, and showed a level of courage that extends far beyond sport.

Today, we remember not only an exceptional sailor, but an exceptional human being.

Fair winds, Charlie.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, loved ones, and the global sailing community that mourns his loss while celebrating the remarkable legacy he leaves behind.

Today we are attending the very first Nautical Business Forum.

The Adriatic charter industry is where we originally laid the foundation for what we do today. It shaped our understanding of real-world operational challenges and inspired us to build smarter, connected yacht solutions that genuinely support fleet owners and operators.

Staying closely connected to the industry is essential, not just to follow trends, but to continuously learn, adapt, and deliver technology that solves the right problems.

Thank you to the organizers (https://www.xn--arter-gya.hr/ 👏 ) for launching this new platform and creating space for meaningful discussions across the nautical sector.

After years of building custom boat monitoring setups, we started noticing a pattern.

Many vessels share similar monitoring requirements, and that insight inspired our ready-made bundles for the 2026 season.

Over time, we’ve worked with boat builders, service partners, fleet operators and boat owners to design custom monitoring setups tailored to specific vessels and operational needs, and that flexibility remains an important part of what we offer.

Building on this experience, we wanted to simplify deployment for common setups, so we’re introducing pre-configured monitoring bundles built around Sentinel Boat Monitor and selected sensors.

This means:

• faster system selection
• simpler deployment
• easier access to smart boat monitoring

As the year’s final chapter unfolds, it’s a moment to slow down, step back, and appreciate the journeys that brought us here. These quieter days invite reflection, reconnection, and time well spent, on and off the water.

Thank you for being part of the Sentinel community. We look forward to continuing the journey together in the year ahead.

The first two days of Metstrade 2025 have flown by — and they definitely didn’t disappoint. 🚀

Day 1 kicked off with a full house: demos running nonstop, great conversations from the moment the doors opened, and that classic METS energy that keeps us moving even when our feet start protesting. 😅

Day 2 had a little bit of everything — deep-dive meetings, new potential clients stopping by, and plenty of tech talk throughout the day. We wrapped things up with a small drinks-and-snacks gathering at our stand to celebrate Sentinel’s 10 years at METS. 🥂 It was great having our partners with us for the moment.

And we’re not done yet.
We’re here again today at stand 05.283 — so if you haven’t managed to visit us yet, now’s the perfect time.
Come say hi, check out the demos, or just talk boats with us.
