A guide to some of the latest products and unveilings at METSTRADE 2023

METSTRADE once again returns to the RAI in Amsterdam for 2023 to celebrate its 35th anniversary.

A load of new tech products and innovative features entered the market last year – too many to list! So we've rounded-up a few favourites as chosen in-house by us. Here is the top five tech for your superyacht as chosen by SYT : <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216747/image/large-7071767ee8c494a48c3dfcb3ba3347b8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216747"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks S.P.A.

This latest innovation was first unveiled at the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2021">Monaco Yacht Show, 2021</a> and promises a flexible solution that seamlessly integrates with any interior design solution.

The system takes the strain and hassle out of mooring – reducing workload and improving accessibility – as Joy cleats are operated using a footswitch that pulls the mooring line via a rotating winch. The Joy Self Tailing Cleat is available with either a 12V or 24V motor to support either a 100 or 300kg working load.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212643/image/large-ba2f96ab9f3c28bcf8c37fcf05a94801.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212643"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/184127/image/large-14d45ab4c2ee929791a8e728aa32793a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/184127"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a>’s Assisted Docking systemPerhaps the most celebrated innovation from 2021 is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a>’s Assisted Docking system, as it was <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DAME Design Awards 2021: Volvo Penta Assisted Docking wins top spot (2021-11-16 13:30:00 +0100)">awarded the overall DAME Award</a> at the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="METSTRADE - 2021">METSTRADE</a> show last November.

IlTenderLift has a capacity of 850kg for handling tender and jet ski operations, allowing a single crew member complete control of the entire hauling and launching process. What’s more is that the low-power 24DC electrical components are quieter, lighter and more compact than their hydraulic counterparts, relieving space, installation time and maintenance costs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212643/image/large-ba2f96ab9f3c28bcf8c37fcf05a94801.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212643"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216752/image/large-b1362b33906142b5ddcb4e7ad0833673.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216752">Savvy Navvy’s navigation appWhile Savvy Navvy is not technically something for your yacht, it’s record growth last year has brought it into this rundown of top tech. Savvy Navvy is a navigation application that can be downloaded to both Apple and Android devices, which charts the weather, tides and all other essential marine information to help you get from A-B. More than 43 million miles have been plotted through Savvy Navvy and it is the go-to navigation app for hundreds of thousands sailors worldwide.&nbsp;
