The potential of marine fish is one of the hopes for fishermen. Fishing boats have not been equipped with fish detection devices such as fish finders. To get to the location of fishing, fishermen do not know accurately the distance and direction of the ship. Fishermen only rely on experience and information from other fishermen to find out the location of the fish distribution. The ships fuel losses are caused by fishermen having to go around to map fishing points. Accurate data for autopilot technology is needed to move the fishing boat to the point of distribution of fish, serves to help fishermen to increase fishing yields and reduce ship fuel losses. The 70x16x15 cm ship prototype with autopilot technology measures the distance between fishing boats and the target location of the nearest fish distribution. This prototype is equipped with a GPS and a compass sensor that shows the direction and difference of angles to the direction of the target. This prototype has a rudder that is driven by a servo motor based on the angle difference to the setpoint. Based on the results of research and testing, this prototype can travel an average distance of 15.5 m. The results of coordinate accuracy testing of all experiments get the difference in average latitude coordinates of 0.0122 and longitude coordinates of 0.047 and the average distance of the prototype stopped from the destination location is 1.3 m.
