RoboMark – A robotic mark solution that works
Robotic Marks at their best
The RoboMark system is the solution for your next regatta. Designed, developed, and built by Swiss engineers, sailors, and craftsmen, it’s guaranteed to get you more races on your regatta scoreboard. A robotic mark system, that runs on a closed network and is controlled by smartphone or tablet.
Welcome to the future of setting race courses.
Züricher Yacht ClubWe are very happy with our RoboMarks. Congratulations on an amazing product! Truly a masterpiece!The RoboMark is straightforward, practical, and incredibly user-friendly!
Thanks to RoboMarks, regattas can be run with minimal personnel effort.
Courses are often set up in rising winds. Not infrequently, the wind shifts just before the first start, requiring the windward and starboard buoys to be adjusted. With anchored buoys, this adjustment is often skipped for time reasons, which severely affects the race quality. With RoboMarks, such adjustments can be made effortlessly and in no time at all.
The buoys are worth their price, and the practical benefits are enormous.
Water depth is not a decisive factor when acquiring RoboMarks. The advantages above the water alone are reason enough.
Bielersee Yacht ClubThe RoboMarks make the work of the race committee much easier, offering outstanding flexibility.
Spiez Yacht ClubUsing a specific course-setup provided by RoboMarks for the 2K-Event allowed us to adjust the course quickly in changing conditions and speed up racing to a maximum!

The RoboMark Application
The RoboMark connects to their very own network and you control them with the custom application. The app has been designed with the race committee’s needs in mind with multiple predefined courses and useful features such as battery status, wind readings (NO wind measurement gear needed), or remaining time until the marks are in their new position.

FAQ’s
Every location has their own specific regulations for these “remote-controlled vessels.” Please confer with your relevant local authorities.
In Switzerland, they are considered simple, remote-controlled vessels, and the operator must have a concrete visual on everyone while they are under power. Because they are under 2.5 meters in length, they do not require a cantonal registration.
Our robotic marks have a safety feature: when tipped more than 70 degrees, the motors will stop; once the robotic mark is righted, it will begin turning again and returning to its position.
Once the RoboMark is “set free,” it will hurry back to its designated position. This is definitely well worth mentioning in your competitors’ briefing.
Once the robotic mark is in place, it will stay there, even if the RoboMark application’s connection is severed.
Our robotic mark features the “Anchor-Button” that allows you to engage and disengage the anchor mode. Even in the unlikely case of not connecting to the network, you can still position and re-position our robotic marks manually. Just push the button, and it will hold the position.
No need to worry about this. If you can race, the mark will do its job, with no complaining.

We offer a year rental into buying. This means you pay a one-year rental fee, and 50% of the rental fee will go toward the full price of the purchase.
All hardware is covered by our warranty, except for the inflatable parts. This incentivizes the user to handle the marks with the necessary care. At the end of the first season, you drop off the RoboMark with our licensed dealer, where they are thoroughly inspected and maintained.
Please contact us directly if you have any questions
Our robotic marks have 1 Main ON/OFF switch for ease of use.
We also have 2 buttons:
“ON” button is to manually engage mark positioning with a press of the button; no connection to the app is necessary.
“OFF” button is to stop the motors from rotating.
The buoys will stay on location with moderate conditions (small seas, 15 knots) for about 12 hours.
Self-Propelled: RoboMark can travel around 3 knots
Towing: RoboMark can be easily towed at high speeds for more considerable distances.
Towing capability is one of the best features of the RoboMarks. Due to their design, you can tow them fast and economically. You can safely tow three RoboMarks with a 60hp RIB on a full plane.
Although it’s super easy to launch and retrieve the RoboMarks, you can easily leave it in the water for a few days. Just tie it up to a buoy or next to your RC vessel. The design allows you to easily remove the battery for overnight charging if necessary.
Yes, we have a few.
- Or a rugged cover for outdoor storage. This cover allows you to easily protect the RoboMark if you plan to store it outside. Deflate the buoy structure (not the hulls), pull the cover over, and tighten the strap, done.
- Or sponsor-branded skirts or inflatables to put over the buoy structure. We understand this is a premium sponsorship area, and we can arrange custom-fit skirts to showcase your sponsor and other entities or your club logo.
- Customized race course templates.
