We’ve installed Autotethers on all of our boats at Andros South.
This is a great new wireless system that replaces a lanyard connection to the kill switch on our motors. If for any reason the guide exits the boat while running, the motor is automatically killed without the need for clipping into a lanyard before each run. The guide wears a small wireless transmitter that sends a kill signal to the receiver if it enters the water.
It’s a small upgrade, but combined with lifejackets on our guides and guests, satellite phones in every boat and ongoing maintenance, it all adds up to an experience that’s not only fun, but also as safe as possible.
