B&G Zeus3S 12 Sailing Chartplotter

Overview B&G Zeus3S 12 Sailing Chartplotter

B&G Zeus3S 12 Sailing Chartplotter is a sailing-focused multifunction display built around a 12.1-inch SolarMAX HD IPS screen and a high-performance processor for faster chart handling. It combines B&G tools such as SailSteer, Laylines, SailingTime, and RacePanel with a screen size that fits as a primary helm display on many cruising and racing sailboats.

The unit also supports broader system integration through NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, dual Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dual microSD storage, and dual Xsonic sonar ports. That makes it a capable option for owners who want one display to manage charts, sailing data, sonar, and connected onboard equipment without relying on a simpler entry-level plotter.

Key Features

• Elite SolarMAX IPS High-Definition Display: The 12.1-inch screen uses a 1200-nit backlight and wide viewing angles so charts and sailing data remain easier to read around the cockpit and in bright daylight.
• Industry-Leading Processing Power: The Zeus 3S series features a processor that handles high-bandwidth tasks with ease. Calculate complex Auto Guidance+ routes and render high-resolution charts nearly instantly, giving you more time to focus on sailing tactics rather than waiting for your electronics to catch up.
• Award-Winning SailSteer Dashboard: SailSteer provides a unified view of wind, speed, tide, heading, course over ground, and laylines, overlaid on one panel to ensure you have total situational awareness at your fingertips.
• Tactical Laylines and SailingTime: Overlaid Laylines show your course and tacking points, factoring in tidal effects and wind shifts to find the most efficient path. SailingTime provides an accurate ETA to your destination by calculating the time spent on each tack, even when beating dead upwind.
• Race-Proven RacePanel Tools: Gain a competitive edge with professional start-line guidance. Access time, distance, and positioning data on a clear display to ensure your yacht crosses the line exactly as the gun goes off—features previously reserved only for pro navigators.

Applications

B&G Zeus3S 12 Sailing Chartplotter is well suited for offshore cruisers, club racers, and regatta boats that need quick chart redraws and sailing data that is easy to monitor while underway. The 12-inch format gives enough room for chart, instrument, and tactical views without becoming oversized for many sailboat pedestals.

It is also a good fit for vessels that already use networked instruments, autopilot, or sonar. The platform is built to support broader helm integration, which helps crews keep route planning, wind data, and race functions available from a single sailing-focused display.
