Live bridge data
Where she is, how fast, which way, and what the wind and the water are doing. The readings her own bridge is showing.
Signal K · Remote bridge monitoring
Your bridge,
ashore.
A Signal K plugin that records what your boat reports, from her bridge to her engines and tanks, and keeps it aboard. Open the dashboard from anywhere. Read-only, and what leaves the boat is sealed to your own screens.

On screen
Four things she keeps, and one of them is live.
Everything runs on the boat. The dashboard comes with the plugin: open it on the bridge, or from a beach a thousand miles away.
02 / HER RECORD
Kept on the boat
She writes it all down and keeps it herself. Ask her about last Tuesday, or all of last season.
03 / PASSAGES
Written up for you
She knows when you left and when you tied up, and writes the passage up herself: how far, how long, and the track you took.
04 / CHART
Where she has been
Her track on a chart, with the traffic around her.
Not a safety system
Siparu is not a navigation, safety or alarm system, and it does not replace going aboard to look. What you read has crossed networks that fail, her own uplink first: a screen with nothing wrong on it is not the same as a boat that is fine. Do not rely on it to protect life or property.
Setup · about five minutes
Install it yourself. No one touches your boat.
Siparu is a Signal K plugin, so the only question is what your boat runs already. Four doors, and behind every one of them the same five minutes.
A · Signal K already
One click in the AppStore
Appstore → Available → Siparu → Install, then restart the server. There is nothing else to fetch and nothing to build.
SIGNAL K 2.18+ Read the steps → B · Raspberry PiThe box most boats end up on
A Pi 3B+ or newer on 64-bit Pi OS. Node, then Signal K itself, then door A. Your NMEA gateway is found during the Signal K setup.
PI OS 64-BIT Read the steps → C · Mac miniThe machine already in the saloon
The same install as a Pi, with one difference worth knowing before you start her: nothing on macOS makes Signal K come back after a reboot on its own.
macOS · INTEL OR APPLE SILICON Read the steps → D · Victron CerboVenus OS carries Signal K already
Venus OS Large has Signal K built in; you switch it on and go to door A. Siparu builds nothing native, which is what lets it install on a Cerbo at all.
VENUS OS LARGE Read the steps →Whichever door you came through, the rest is the same:
01
Install from the AppStore
One click in Signal K. Pure JS, so it installs clean.
02
Restart the server
A minute or two. We tell you straight.
~1-2 MIN
03
Open the dashboard
Already running, on the boat, over her own wifi. Add a Signal K admin user before you pair.
ADMIN USER
04
Claim from your phone
Type the code her screen is showing.

05
Approve on board
One tap on the boat's screen. Live ashore.
TWO-SIDEDNone of this hands anyone a password, a network, or a device. The plugin reads Signal K and writes nothing back to it, and a pairing is approved on the boat, by you.
Security posture
Nobody gets into your boat.
Us included.
No deltas emitted
No PUT requests
Sealed since 0.2.0
Auditable source
01
It takes no commands
Nothing here can switch, set or move anything on your boat. It reads, and that is all it can do. The code is open, so you do not have to take our word for it.
02
Sealed to the devices you trust
Your phone makes its own key and never gives it up. The boat locks every report to the screens you have approved, so what passes through our server is a sealed block we cannot open. All we can see is when she last called in.
03
History stays aboard
Her record lives on the boat. When you ask for last season, the question goes through to her and she answers it. We keep no copy of where you have been.
04
No remote access to the vessel
Not for anyone, us included. No support door, no override, no way in. The only thing that reaches her from ashore is a question, and she answers it herself.
05
Pairing cuts both ways
Cut it from your account, or from the boat's own screen. Whoever is paired to her is written where anyone aboard can read it, which is what matters when she changes hands.
06
You approve, and you cancel
Every pairing is approved on the boat herself, and cancelled in one tap. The key she carries is replaced without ever leaving her offline.
Pricing
Free on the boat. Pay only to look from ashore.
The plugin and the local dashboard are free, forever, and work with no internet at all. A membership is only for watching remotely.
Aboard
Free/ forever
The plugin, the recorder and the built-in dashboard, running on the vessel.
- Full local dashboard
- Works with no internet
- Read it with your own tools
- Yours to keep
Remote
€360/ year, per boat
Watching her from ashore, billed once a year. One payment covers a year, it renews until you cancel, and it is taken here on the site rather than inside an app.
- Everything in Aboard
- Live view from anywhere
- Her history and passages, on demand
- Sealed to the devices you pair
- One boat per membership
Fleet
Let's talk/ from two boats
A charter operator, a management company, an owner with a few boats. From the second boat the question is who is allowed to look, not what it costs. We would rather answer that first.
- Everything in Remote, on every boat
- One account for the whole fleet
- Priced with you, not from a table
- Still sealed: we cannot read your boats either
- Aboard is free and unlimited, and always will be.
- Remote is €360 a year, for one boat. A second boat takes a second membership, and for now its own account.
- No monthly plan, and no trial that quietly starts billing you.
- No cookies, no advertising, nothing sold on. What you pay for is a server that carries your boat's position without being able to open it.
- Remote is billed in euro, and only in euro. If your card is held in another currency, your own bank does the conversion, at its rate, not ours.
- VAT included where it applies, and the first thirty days are refundable in full.
Come aboard
and see her.
The plugin is on npm today: install it and her own dashboard runs, free, forever. Watching from ashore is by invitation while we finish it. Write to us for one.

A question about your setup, an install that will not go, or whether any of this is worth your time. An address and what you want to say; the rest is optional.
