BRNKL
Your BRNKL unit is the hardware that gets installed on your boat to enable monitoring for:
- Batteries
- Pitch/Heel
- Location
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Bilge Pump
A BRNKL is needed to add any other accessories for security and monitoring.
Protect your catamaran with award-winning security and monitoring technology trusted by government and military fleets. Get peace of mind whether you’re leaving your boat behind for the season or sailing across the ocean. Receive alerts in case of any suspicious activity, such as unexpected movement or unauthorized access, and be made aware of potential maintenance issues before they become costly repairs.
We believe that ensuring security and monitoring for catamarans should be hassle-free. Check out our recommendation below for basic monitoring hardware, security accessories, and upgrades below. Get in touch with us at any time to create a personalized system.
BRNKL offers boat security and monitoring so you can enjoy peace of mind whether you’re at the dock, at home, or on the water.
See what’s happening when you’re away. Take and view photos* anytime—or automatically when an intruder enters** or other event happens.
Stay connected to your boat. Monitor location, battery voltage, ignition switch, bilge pump activity, and other critical conditions. Add security sensors and other devices to protect your boat and know even more.
Know when it happens. Find out when a battery gets low, your critical systems need attention, or some other event happens. Get real-time notifications on your mobile device, an email, or both.
Cross borders. Roam without roaming charges, SIM card swaps, or configuration hassles.
*Requires a compatible camera.
**Requires a compatible security sensor.
For catamaran owners who are looking for a simple monitoring solution, we highly recommend our basic monitoring kit. With a BRNKL and a shore power sensor, you’ll be able to keep tabs on your boat while you’re away and monitor critical systems around the clock.
To go beyond basic monitoring and protect your catamaran from unwanted visitors and theft, add security accessories to your BRNKL to create a custom security system. For example, add a door sensor to detect unusual activity, a camera to keep eyes on your boat, or a siren to scare off intruders.
Note: Any wireless accessories require a BRNKL Mate connected to a BRNKL.
Round out your security and monitoring system with the accessories frequently bought by catamaran owners.

Will BRNKL work if I’m going offshore?
BRNKL communicates over a cellular connection, with a global SIM card built right into it. If you’re headed offshore or somewhere remote with little to no cell service, use an external satellite (included with the purchase of a BRNKL) to ensure connectivity.
How many DC Relays do I need?
Since your catamaran could have up to six bilge pumps and a minimum of three battery banks, you’ll likely need four DC Relays so that the additional bilge pumps can be connected to the Digital Inputs on the BRNKL.
Can I purchase a pre-packaged BRNKL and accessory bundle?
Yes! We offer three standard BRNKL kits, with accessories aimed to meet your unique needs. To view and purchase the Monitoring Kit, Security and Monitoring Kit, or Premium Kit, head to our shop page.
