iNav4u, a Canadian startup known for pushing the boundaries of marine technology, is proud to announce the launch of Zora, a groundbreaking Yacht Management System that is set to transform how yacht owners and captains manage their vessels.

Much like how the iPhone revolutionized personal technology by consolidating multiple devices into one, Zora is poised to do the same for yacht management.

Today's yachts are burdened with an overwhelming array of separate systems— chart plotters, instruments, power and engine monitors, weather apps, anchoring tools, and more—each requiring its own interface and management. Zora changes the game by unifying all these essential functions into one intuitive platform.

"Zora is to yachts what the iPhone is to personal tech: one interface for everything," says Olivier Hendrikx, CEO of iNav4u. "We're creating a future where captains no longer need to juggle multiple devices and apps. Zora integrates everything into a single, seamless experience, providing real-time insights and control that's never been possible before."

Zora's intelligent platform is designed to consolidate all onboard connected and unconnected systems and apps into one powerful dashboard. From navigation to power monitoring, engine performance to weather updates, Zora centralizes the critical data that captains rely on, enabling smarter and safer decisions with intelligent notifications. With Zora, the era of cluttered dashboards, fragmented systems, and multiple apps is over.

"This isn't just about convenience—it's a revolution in yacht management," adds Hendrikx. "Zora is set to redefine how the industry approaches vessel management, much like modern automotive interfaces have, offering a streamlined, user-friendly interface that enhances both safety and enjoyment on the water."

Zora will make its official debut at the following upcoming boat shows: IBEX, Tampa, Florida (October 1-3) in the Startup Yacht Ventures Pavilion, Annapolis Sailboat Show (October 10-14) in the Yacht Rigger Booth, and Abu Dhabi International Boat Show (November 21-24) in the Zone with Yachting Ventures. At these events, iNav4u will be showcasing the system, and visitors to the booth will also have the chance to win a Zora Yacht Management System, making it the perfect opportunity to experience this innovation firsthand.
