The invention relates to a system (10) for determining the position of a transmitting unit (1). The system has an arrangement (20) of at least four transmitting units (1, 2, 3, 4), wherein a first transmitting unit (1) of the at least four transmitting units (1, 2, 3, 4) is designed to emit a first transmission signal (11) to each of the three remaining transmitting units (2, 3, 4). Each of the three remaining transmitting units (2, 3, 4) is designed to receive the first transmission signal (11) and, after receiving the first transmission signal (11), to return a first response signal (12) to the first transmitting unit (1). The first transmitting unit (1) is designed to determine relative position data relating to the first transmitting unit (1) with respect to the three remaining transmitting units (2, 3, 4) on the basis of the returned first response signals (12). The three remaining transmitting units (2, 3, 4) each have stored position data relating to desired positions (la, 2a, 3a, 4a) of the arrangement (20) of transmitting units (1, 2, 3, 4). The first transmitting unit (1) is designed to obtain the stored position data relating to the desired positions (la, 2a, 3a, 4a) from the three remaining transmitting units (2, 3, 4). The first transmitting unit (1) is designed to assign the relative position data determined by the first transmitting unit (1) to the obtained position data relating to a single desired position (la) in order to determine the position of the first transmitting unit (1) within the arrangement (20) of transmitting units (1, 2, 3, 4) on the basis of the assignment. The invention also relates to a watercraft (100) having a system for determining the position of a transmitting unit (1) and to a method for determining the position of a transmitting unit (1).
