Recently, the marine leisure are being emphasized with improving the quality of life style by increased income and spare time. Also, there is a increasement of people`s interest in marine leisure activities. But resources and facilities do not grow in proportion to the quantitative growth of the current marine leisure industry. Besides, a leisure ship operator tends to choose a simple or familiar route of the local area rather than a new leisure routes which are not explored due to lack of accessible areas information. This paper proposes a routes recommendation system in order to solve above problems based on marine resource database. The databases have been constructed through investigation and analysis of navigational information such as environmental conditions including weather conditions and sea status, field of marine leisure activities, tourist attractions and natural landscape, and marine leisure prohibited areas. Therefore we have developed and implemented the route recommendation system that provides various information necessary to route operation of leisure boats.

A support system which allows operator to check the condition of a vessel and to warn the sea risk in order to prevent accidents of leisure boats, is required. Therefore, this paper proposes a navigational safety support system to ensure the safety of vessels by monitoring and managing the status of those ships. In developing a system process, each developed equipment is integrated and verified whether the functional, compositional and operational algorithms are working properly according to the designed object.

 Abstract—In order to prevent safety accidents in marine leisure and small ships, a support system is required to warn dangerous situations at sea and inspect status of ship. Accordingly, this paper proposes designing and construction of smart yacht operational system and marina control system. Operation status and navigation information of leisure ship is managed by internal SW of a smart device and sent to the marina control center through mobile communication network. The systems allow yacht users to operate, manage and navigate yachts conveniently and safety by receiving diverse information about navigation and safety. In addition, the NMEA2000 standard was used to acquire information on yacht status, and the gateway for the overall NMEA2000 to Wi-Fi system was designed for transmission of information to the marine control center for verification of usefulness.
