Abstract
A haptic notification system for a marine vessel is provided which alerts the marine vessel operator and passengers even if those individuals are displaced from the helm position. By changing a sensible characteristic of the vessel, the passengers and operator can be haptically notified that one of them should return to the helm in order to determine the condition about which they were notified.
