Equipment

Communication
Within the mandatory equipment, required on board at all times, is the one that allows you to communicate with other boats at sea and with shore. This becomes high-priority when navigating long range. The spectrum of possible devices is vast and complex: Radar, AIS and Radar Reflector for navigation in low visibility conditions; VHF, SSB and Satellite for communication; Epirb and Sart for SOS, Navtex and Meteofax for Weather Forecasting.
We at Ocean Fit have experienced the importance of all of them first hand, and can suggest the best fit to each passage plan.

Energy
When navigating long range, it is crucial to well monitor energy consumption. Ocean Fit specialists determine the right batteries and recharging systems, based on boat sizes and the route planned. To recharge batteries in an efficient and money saving manner, we recommend hybrid systems employing modern green technologies and standard engine ones: solar cells, eolic generators and engine alternator.

Fresh Water
A Water Maker is indispensable. Be it a system functioning through a generator or more modern and equally efficient systems working on 24 Volts circuits, nontheless a Water Maker requires a great amount of energy. Our specialists help the client in planning its daily consumption under navigation.

Navigation
With the great selection of navigation hardware and software, and the new applications for smart phones, the choice of the best navigation system is a fundamental and complicated one. Though charts and sextant are essential, identifying the appropriate navigation system and keeping it up to date is key to a hassle free voyage.

Safety
Safety on board must be a priority at all times. Particularly, when facing a long range cruise, Ocean Fit recommends the highest safety standards. We can suggest the client various efficient solutions to make its journey safer.
