Q: Does Oversea charge for shipping?

We are pleased to offer free shipping for all orders within the continental United States. No minimum purchase is required. For Hawaii and Alaska we have a flat rate for shipping, this will be calculated when you are ready to check out.

Q: How far away can Oversea sensors be from the Hub and still connect?

We've tested Oversea sensors and most of them can connect to a Hub more than a thousand feet away. The Entry Sensor has a lower range, in the hundreds of feet. For any single boat or set of boats nearby this range should be perfectly fine. Sensor reach can vary based on where you have your Hub located and where the sensors are located, based on how many walls are between the devices and the composition of the walls. We urge you to test sensor range on your own. All of our products have a 30-day no questions asked return policy, so in the event you find that your sensor reception isn't meeting your objectives, we'll gladly refund your purchase within that window.

Q: Do I need an Oversea Hub to use sensors on my boat?

The Oversea sensors communicate to the Oversea mobile app via a Hub, so they need a Hub to operate. But it doesn't necessarily have to be your Hub! If one of your dock buddies has a Hub and his boat is close by yours (whether in the water or out) then your sensors can connect to his Hub. Some marinas may also offer Hub sharing. We offer sensor-only subscriptions for Oversea users that use someone else's Hub Keep in mind that without your own Hub, you won't get to utilize its location-on-demand capability or its boat movement detection features. And if your friend with the Hub is on the water, you wouldn't be able to get sensor alerts.

Q: What types of sensors does Oversea offer?

Skyhawk currently offers seven different sensors to help you oversee your boat's safety, security and readiness. These sensors are: Battery Sensor : Monitors your battery voltage and alerts you if it's too low or drops too rapidly Bilge Sensor : Monitors the operation of your bilge pump and alerts you if its running too frequently or for too long Entry Sensor : Attaches to your doors, hatches, cabinets, lockers and alerts you if someone has opened them Shore Power Sensor : Notifies you if your shore power connection is lost for any reason PIR Motion Sensor : Alerts you if it detects movement within its "viewing cone" of 100 degrees. Range of 16 ft. Sound Sensor: Monitors for loud sounds (greater than 80 dB) such as smoke and othr alarms, and alerts you immediately when they sound THW Sensor : Alerts you when the bilge level hits the height you set, and also monitors the temperature and humidity around it Skyhawk is developing additional sensors to provide even more protection for your boat.

Q: Is a subscription required to use Oversea?

Yes, you will need to subscribe your Oversea devices to connect them to the mobile app. Subscriptions are purchased on the Oversea app as part of the setup process for each device.

Q: Do you offer seasonal subscriptions?

Unlike other boat monitoring systems, Oversea is designed to monitor your boat all year round. Since all Oversea devices run on off-the-shelf batteries, for multiple years, you can keep monitoring active for security and safety features whether your boat is in the water, on a trailer, in storage or anywhere else. Theft doesn't stop in the off-season; the majority of boat thefts occur when the boat is on a trailer. As such, we don't provide a seasonal subscription rate since our goal is to protect your boat at all times during the year.
