We’re excited to announce the official debut of Watchkeeper, our latest innovation in AI-powered maritime safety, at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025.
Selected as part of the show’s exclusive Innovation Route, Watchkeeper is featured among the most cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of boating.
Collisions are the “first event” in over half of all boating accidents that result in injury or death. That’s why we developed Watchkeeper—to make powerful safety systems more accessible for every skipper.
Equipped with ultra-wide 4K low-light optics and optional thermal imaging, Watchkeeper sees farther than the human eye, both day and night. It draws on our proprietary database of millions of marine objects to detect and identify hazards across the entire horizon.
As soon as Watchkeeper detects and classifies an object, it calculates risk and instantly alerts the crew.
It covers what radar and AIS often miss, such as:
Floating debris
Unlit small craft
Buoys and marine mammals
Visual alerts appear in real time on multifunction displays and mobile devices, delivering enhanced situational awareness—directly in your hand.
With pricing starting at 4,990€, Watchkeeper brings AI-enabled collision avoidance within reach of most sailing and motorboat owners.
The entry-level model offers dawn-to-dusk coverage
A mid-range version adds night vision
The top-tier model expands detection range and field of view
You’re invited to experience our full system range at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025.
