Watchkeeper to Debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2025

Affordable, accessible AI-driven safety and security takes center stage in Cannes.

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.

Tackling Collisions with Smart Vision

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.

Smarter Awareness, Instant Alerts

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:

Visual alerts appear in real time on multifunction displays and mobile devices, delivering enhanced situational awareness—directly in your hand.

Maritime Multi-Object Tracking: How AI Identifies Every Object on the Water

Detection tells you what is on the water. Multi-Object Tracking tells you what each contact is, where it came from, and where it is going — for every object in the scene, simultaneously. That is the difference between a snapshot and operational intelligence.

Maritime surveillance depends on AIS and radar. When either fails, goes dark, or gets spoofed, the operational picture disappears. AI-powered visual intelligence is how you close that gap.
