BRNKL Blue: Remote Boat Monitoring with Live Cameras and GPS Tracker
See what is happening on board when you are not there. BRNKL Blue gives you live boat cameras, GPS boat tracking, NMEA 2000 data, onboard surveillance and instant alerts from one app, giving 24/7 visibility for charter fleets, passenger RIBs, sea safari operators and small workboat fleets.
For charter fleets, sea safari operators, dive and angling charters and small workboat fleets across the UK.
Commercial boat monitoring
One system. Six reasons to fit BRNKL Blue.
Monitor your boat remotely
Check battery levels, bilge status, shore power and onboard sensor data in real time from the boat monitoring app, anywhere.
View live boat cameras
See what's happening on board with live camera feeds. Record and review onboard surveillance with 1TB or 4TB local storage, across up to 16 cameras.
Track your boat with GPS
Live position, speed and heading from your built-in boat GPS tracker, with full trip history you can review later.
Review trips and events
Replay vessel location, video and onboard data together on one synchronised timeline for a clear picture of any event.
Receive instant alerts
Your boat alert system flags bilge activity, battery drops, shore power loss and security triggers so you can respond early.
Connect to NMEA 2000
Integrates with your existing NMEA 2000 network, so engine data, fuel burn, depth and instruments alongside cameras and alerts in one place.
See what is happening on board when you are not there
Every boat in the fleet on one screen: position, engines, bilge, shore power, cameras and alerts, from a phone or a browser ashore.
You do not need to be on the boat, or wait for the skipper to report in. Check a vessel mid-trip, confirm it is on the mooring overnight, or look back at what the cameras saw. BRNKL Blue records video locally with 1TB or 4TB storage, so footage stays on board without cloud dependency, and works through the boat's existing connectivity, whether cellular, satellite or marina Wi-Fi.
- Check any vessel from shore, mid-trip or overnight
- Monitor engines, bilge, batteries, shore power and sensors
- View and record up to 16 live cameras per boat
- Replay a trip or an incident on one timeline
- Export clips for insurers, charterers or investigations
Fleet oversight for small commercial operators
Built for operators running a handful of boats rather than a shipping line.
Sea safari and passenger RIBs, charter fleets, dive boats, angling charters, harbour launches, crew transfer vessels and survey craft. One account covers every boat, so a skipper ashore can see where each vessel is, what its engines are doing and what the cameras saw, without waiting for the boat to come alongside.
For operators working to Workboat Code 3 or carrying passengers for hire, the same recording supports duty-of-care evidence and incident review at no extra cost per trip.
- Several vessels monitored from one account
- Position, engine hours and fault alerts pushed to shore
- Onboard video retained locally for incident review
- Works with the boat's existing NMEA 2000 network
- No per-vessel subscription as the fleet grows
Built for operators who need to know what their boats are doing
Sea safari and passenger RIBs
See how each trip was run, with video and vessel data recorded together. Useful for crew development, passenger complaints and duty-of-care evidence.
Charter and hire fleets
Know where your boats are and how they are being handled while they are out with a customer. Engine hours and fault alerts come back to you, not to the charterer.
Dive and angling charters
Monitor bilge, batteries and engines between trips, and confirm the boat is secure on its mooring without driving to the harbour.
Incidents and insurance
A clear record of what happened on board supports insurance claims, third-party disputes and any investigation after a contact or grounding.
Small workboat fleets
Harbour launches, survey craft, CTVs and support boats. Position, engine data and camera footage available from the office at any point in the working day.
Out-of-hours security
Movement and camera alerts overnight and out of season, so you know about a problem before the first crew arrive in the morning.

Harbours and marinas
