For superyachts welcoming Muslim guests, facilitating Islamic prayer is an important part of delivering a truly tailored onboard experience.

One key requirement is knowing the Qibla -the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah - during prayer. On a yacht that is constantly changing position and heading at sea, determining the correct Qibla direction can be challenging.

YachtEye’s Makkah Pointer acts as an integrated Qibla finder, providing a real-time indication of the direction of Makkah based on the yacht’s current position and heading. As the vessel moves, the pointer updates automatically, ensuring guests always have a clear and reliable reference for prayer.

Fully integrated into the YachtEye interface, the feature requires no additional tools or manual calculations. It works anywhere in the world, whether cruising the Mediterranean, crossing the Atlantic, or operating in the Red Sea.

Islamic prayer times (Salah times) can also be automatically integrated into the daily schedule, making it easy for crew to plan activities around prayer and for guests to maintain their religious practices seamlessly.
