Get started · free for one boat

Three steps, about 15 minutes.

Create your account on your own phone, set up the hub from a computer, then leave the old phone aboard on charge.

Then finish on a computer with Chrome or Edge at velamo.app/setup.

This computer can install the hub. Setup creates your account too, so start here and have the old phone and a USB cable to hand.

The steps

01
Create your account
On your phone · 2 minutes
Open velamo.app/boat, enter your email and type the six-digit code we send you. There is no password. Name your boat, then add Velamo to your home screen so alerts reach you.
02
Set up the hub
On a computer · 10 minutes
On a computer with Chrome or Edge, open velamo.app/setup and sign in with the same email. On the old phone, open Settings › About phone (on Samsung, then Software information) and tap Build number seven times, then turn on Developer options › USB debugging. Plug it in with a USB cable and click Connect phone. Velamo installs the hub and turns USB debugging off again when it is done.
03
Put it aboard
On the boat · 2 minutes
Mount the old phone somewhere dry and out of direct sun, with its case off, and plug it into shore power. In the app, tap Yes, it's aboard. Velamo then looks for Bluetooth sensors and instruments on the boat's Wi-Fi and shows what it can read.
