Beginning with Q4 2025 production, Sirena Yachts will offer integrated automation and intelligent assistance as an optional factory feature, after a new collaboration between Sirena, Vanemar remote boat monitoring system and EmpirBus by Garmin. The system marks a major step towards incorporating connected, intuitive yacht operation into series production, and combines intelligent dialogue, secure connectivity and onboard automation to allow for a more seamless operation experience.
“At Vanemar, we strive to create a seamless, uninterrupted connection between the boat and its owner. Through this collaboration with Sirena and EmpirBus (by Garmin Ltd.), our technology becomes a new standard for boat ownership,” explains Mevlut Sahin, CEO of Vanemar.
Vanemar’s cloud-based intelligence is integrated with EmpirBus by Garmin’s proven digital switching platform, allowing for onboard function control through natural voice commands or in-app interaction. The system is developed jointly by Sirena Yachts, Vanemar and EmpirBus by Garmin, and allows for repeatable production and lifecycle support. Each installation is linked to the specific yacht’s configuration, with build-sheet data ensuring guidance and control remain accurate to every hull. Safety and trust are embedded in the design, with confirmation prompts for critical actions, audit trails and offline functionality that maintains full operability even without network access.
“At EmpirBus, we design technology to be an enabler of visions. Working with Sirena Yachts and Vanemar, we created an entirely new experience,” adds the Managing Director of Garmin Sweden Technologies & EmpirBus. Production integration is underway on the Sirena 48, 60, 68, 78, 88, and 118 models, with broader availability planned thereafter.
