Abstract— In order to prevent safety accidents in marine leisure and small ships, a support system is required to warn dangerous situations at sea and inspect status of ship. Accordingly, this paper proposes designing and construction of smart yacht operational system and marina control system. Operation status and navigation information of leisure ship is managed by internal SW of a smart device and sent to the marina control center through mobile communication network. The systems allow yacht users to operate, manage and navigate yachts conveniently and safety by receiving diverse information about navigation and safety. In addition, the NMEA2000 standard was used to acquire information on yacht status, and the gateway for the overall NMEA2000 to Wi-Fi system was designed for transmission of information to the marine control center for verification of usefulness.
Index Terms— Yacht operational system, marina control system, NMEA2000 to Wi-Fi.
