It provides complete monitoring and control of all connected onboard devices with custom status notifications and alerts for any connected component, such as battery faults, engine issues, vessel movement and water leaks. Alerts can trigger user defined actions and are sent via SMS, WhatsApp or Email. The LINKCloud stores historic logs which can be recalled as needed, enables the sharing of documentation, and offers direct messaging between all parties involved in the vessel. LINK is a fully bespoke, completely customisable, ever-expanding eco-system that has been designed and manufactured in the UK alongside leading yacht builders.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LINK at none against DVB's 1. LINK also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). DVB's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
