Actisense Navigation Parts & Accessories: Precision NMEA Solutions for Every Vessel
When it comes to marine navigation, reliable data is the difference between a confident voyage and a dangerous one. Actisense has built its reputation as the world's foremost NMEA specialist by engineering navigation parts and accessories that keep onboard electronics talking to each other — accurately, consistently, and in real time. Whether you're outfitting a weekend sailboat or a commercial shipping vessel, Actisense navigation products are designed to deliver.
The NMEA Specialists
Actisense's award-winning brand has gained a reputation in the industry as "The NMEA specialists." That title is well earned. Actisense is a member of the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) and has actively shaped the industry standards in the communication of marine electronics — NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, and the future NMEA OneNet. For anyone shopping navigation parts and accessories, that level of standards involvement means Actisense products aren't just compatible with your network — they help define what compatibility means.
What Actisense Navigation Accessories Do
Actisense designs and manufactures cutting-edge marine electronics that ensure seamless communication between devices on NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183 networks. Their product portfolio includes data converters, buffers, multiplexers, network interfaces, and diagnostic tools that simplify and strengthen marine data systems. In practical terms, this means you can bridge older NMEA 0183 instruments with modern NMEA 2000 networks, stream navigation data wirelessly to tablets or smartphones, and diagnose network faults before they become safety issues at sea.
The Actisense NGW-1-ISO converts data from existing NMEA 0183 devices to an NMEA 2000 network, while the W2K-1 transmits NMEA 2000 data wirelessly via Wi-Fi to your tablet or smartphone. All data received can be backed up on an 8 GB micro SD card — useful for analyzing race data, generating logbooks, or sharing journey details.
Built for Real Marine Conditions
Actisense navigation products are marine-grade — engineered for salt spray, humidity, and vibration — with a clear design philosophy that reduces setup headaches and dedicated diagnostic tools that let technicians actually troubleshoot the network, not just guess. Their approach to navigation reliability comes down to three things: data accuracy with real-time, trustworthy information across every instrument; data redundancy with intelligent failover so one point of failure doesn't take down the network; and system compatibility that bridges old and new electronics without sacrificing reliability.
Trusted Across the Globe
The company was formed in 1996 when engineer and sailor Phil Whitehurst set out to make marine electronics simpler and smarter, having seen too many devices failing in tough conditions. From superyachts to commercial fleets, Actisense products are trusted in some of the toughest marine environments — and the brand is a proud British manufacturer exporting to over 75 countries. Their ultra-reliable devices have earned Actisense industry accolades including the Navigation and Communication Award at the European Commercial Marine Awards 2024.
For boaters, marine technicians, and professional vessel operators who need navigation parts and accessories they can stake their safety on, Actisense delivers a level of precision engineering that is genuinely hard to match.
