YACHT DEVICES YDVR-04N, can record GPS tracks, wind, temperatures, AIS and all other data in the SeaTalkNG network that has been available during all your trips throughout the season. Never forget exciting moments, get proof of strong winds and storms, collect data for future trips, analyze your races, generate logbooks and diagnose problems. YDVR-04 saves all data from the marine network to a MicroSD card. In addition to navigation data, engine data, tank data, battery data or other available data is also saved. Unlike the previous model (YDVR-03), the YDVR-04 also has an audio input, making it possible to record from, for example, a VHF audio output or from a microphone. Audio data is saved as a standard audio file (.wav) which can be played by virtually any program.

The software can convert Voyage Recorder data to OpenSkipper, CanBoat and Signal K formats. Marine specialists can diagnose N2K problems with the open source program OpenSkipper. It can play NMEA 2000 recordings and has excellent log management. It is possible to load data from YDVR-04 and encode all NMEA 2000 messages. With Voyage Recorder, you can get a multi-page, editable logbook of your trip with a few mouse clicks. The logbook is created from a template that can be modified with Microsoft Word or Libre Office Write. Or you can create your own templates. Example of a logbook. The program is free and works on Windows Mac OS X or Linux. The program also contains data from a real sailing trip, so it is easy to learn the program and see what can be done.

On average, 1 second of NMEA 2000 recording requires between 1 to 2 kb on a memory card. A 16 GB MicroSD card is sufficient for between 100-200 days of sailing. No configuration needs to be done and if the memory runs out, the oldest data is automatically overwritten with new information, so you don't have to worry about running out of memory. Just connect the YDVR-04 to the network and insert a MicroSD card, and all data will be recorded.

YDVR-04 is a perfect product for anyone who rents out their boat. It is easy to see what happened, when it happened and where it happened. If you have installed motion sensors, you can also see if the boat has run aground.


Example of a recorded route.
The YDVR Converter program supplied with YDVR-04 is installed on a computer and can create GPX and CSV files with the boat's track and detailed information about the sailing, including weather, depth, engine, nearby AIS targets and more. The GPX file can be viewed with Google Earth, Garmin MapSource and other mapping applications. They can also be loaded into newer chartplotters. CSV files can be opened with spreadsheet programs such as Excel, Libre Office Calc or Numbers to visualize data and build graphical reports.


YDVR-04 is available in two versions:

  • YDVR-04N for NMEA 2000
  • YDVR-04R for SeaTalkNG
