XENTA was founded with the specific intention of simplifying the process of helming boats.
The company’s first product was the Joystick, which it followed up by developing an Integrated Control System that also includes Dynamic Positioning Systems, Helm by Wire, Throttles, Integration with Autopilots, Automatic Flaps and other Trim Correction Systems.
XENTA now enjoys a position as the go-to company in the yachting industry for innovation. A reputation earned as a result of its history, experience and ability to seamlessly meld an accelerated development process with a creative engineering strategy.
Today, XENTA is one of the leading developers and manufacturers of Integrated Control Systems for boats, yachts and superyachts, with a proven ability to deliver both optimal performance and superb reliability.

Mission
XENTA’s mission since its foundation has been to simplify mooring maneuvers and make the impossible seem not just possible but simple.
This led it to design the first Joystick for sailing and motor boats of all types regardless of the propulsion system they used: shaft line, pods, surface drives, waterjet.
The By Wire used for XENTA’s Joystick system eliminates all mechanical connections between console controls, appendages and propulsion units in the water. It was also subsequently used on XENTA’s steering and throttle systems, which are now the market benchmark for 21st century yachts as they deliver complete control in all types of conditions in both close quarters maneuvering and open sea.
