Following our Innovation Route Award win at the Cannes Yachting Festival, we’re proud to introduce Watchkeeper to the Australian market — a scalable, modular solution that makes advanced maritime safety more accessible than ever. Systems start at just 8,990 AUD.
Australia’s rich maritime culture and extensive coastline make it a natural fit for Watchkeeper. Our system offers advanced situational awareness to sailors, skippers, and commercial operators, using low-light and thermal cameras to detect objects even radar and AIS can miss.
“With Watchkeeper’s modular architecture and accessible pricing, more boaters down under can benefit from a dedicated, intelligent lookout onboard,” says Marcus Warrelmann, our CEO.
At the heart of Watchkeeper is our AI edge-computing unit, trained on millions of marine images. It continuously processes real-time optical and thermal imagery, distinguishing between vessels, debris, swimmers, marine mammals, and other potential hazards — even in low-visibility or nighttime conditions.
The system integrates with major multifunction displays (MFDs) and navigation networks, providing real-time visual and audible alerts to ensure you’re always aware of your surroundings.
Beyond helping avoid collisions, Watchkeeper enhances man-overboard (MOB) detection, offering rapid thermal identification of people in the water. It also contributes to marine mammal protection, helping vessels avoid whale strikes by identifying their visual and thermal signatures — including the iconic whale blow.
Watchkeeper is available in multiple configurations — from entry-level low-light setups to high-end, triple-camera systems for large vessels. Whether you’re operating a commercial workboat, power yacht, or sailboat, our system fits both retrofits and new builds.
With over 150 global dealer and OEM partners and new Australian distribution agreements underway, we’re ready to support local customers with sales, installation, and service across the country.
Visit us at Booth TP8 in Darling Harbour to see Watchkeeper in action and meet the SEA.AI team.
Radar sees a contact. AIS shows a name, provided the vessel chooses to broadcast one. When a threat USV does neither, optical AI is the only sensor layer that still sees it. That is the gap SEA.AI was built to close.
SEA.AI is growing in North America, new team, better support, wider availability. We’re strengthening our presence across North America with new talent, expanded support, and broader access to our safety systems.
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.
