BRNKL
Your BRNKL is the piece of 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.

Whether you’re leaving your vessel behind for the off-season or setting sail across the open sea, BRNKL gives you peace of mind.

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 sailboat owners 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 sailboat 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 sailors.

Will it work if I’m going offshore?
The 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 purchase of a BRNKL) to ensure connectivity.
How many DC Relays do I need?
If your sailboat has 4 battery banks and 2 bilge pumps, you’ll need one DC Relay for the second bilge pump so that it can be connected to the BRNKL’s digital input. By default, the BRNKL has an input for one bilge pump.
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.
