Digital Yacht AIS100 USB AIS Receiver

The Digital Yacht AIS100 USB AIS Receiver is an essential navigation tool for serious boaters and commercial operators who demand real-time vessel traffic awareness. This compact USB receiver decodes Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals from nearby vessels, displaying their position, course, speed, and vessel type directly on your chartplotter or marine computer. Situational awareness in congested shipping lanes or coastal waterways can mean the difference between a safe passage and a dangerous encounter.

Built by Digital Yacht, a respected marine electronics manufacturer, the AIS100 receiver operates via standard USB connectivity, making integration straightforward on any vessel with a computer, tablet, or marine multifunction display. The unit receives Class A and Class B AIS broadcasts on international VHF frequencies, decoding transmissions from all vessel types within your local area. Its compact form factor allows flexible mounting options, whether topside near your antenna or below deck without sacrificing performance.

Whether you're fishing offshore, running a charter, or navigating busy harbors, AIS integration transforms your onboard navigation from reactive to proactive. The plug-and-play USB interface eliminates the need for complex marine-grade wiring, reducing installation time and potential troubleshooting complications. Compatible with software such as OpenCPN and TimeZero, the AIS100 enhances your navigation experience.
