The 1st Mate Overboard Safety System is a connected aquatic solution for use on the water to help keep the captain and all of the passengers aboard safe. The system works with wearable fobs that can be connected onto the captain and up to seven passengers, and will go to work tracking the wearer the moment they come into contact with the water if they fall overboard. This will then trigger a notification to the captain that someone has fallen overboard, shut off the engine and show the exact location of the person thanks to GPS on the accompanying app.
The 1st Mate Overboard Safety System will greatly enhance the capabilities of captains and help prevent avoidable death or injury at all times when on the water.
