SEA.AI Vision Tech Comes to Nautitech Catamarans
For offshore sailors chasing performance and comfort without compromising safety, a new technology partnership offers some welcome peace of mind. Nautitech Catamarans has announced it will now offer SEA.AI’s machine vision system as an option across its range of high-performance cruising catamarans.
The integration brings a next-generation “smart lookout” capability to Nautitech’s bluewater-ready multihulls. SEA.AI’s system uses optical and thermal cameras paired with artificial intelligence to continuously detect and alert crews to potential hazards in real time—day or night, in clear skies or fog.
From floating debris and fishing gear to small boats without AIS signals, the system is designed to spot what radar or the human eye might miss—especially during nighttime passages or arrivals in unfamiliar harbors. For sailors who regularly cover long distances or enter tight anchorages after dark, the added awareness can make a real difference.
“Innovation and safety are essential to delivering the sailing sensations our owners expect,” says Cédric Beaumont, Premium Service Manager at Nautitech. “Integrating SEA.AI’s smart lookout aligns perfectly with our philosophy—ensuring our catamarans perform exceptionally while offering peace of mind offshore.”
While the cruising multihull market has increasingly emphasized comfort at anchor, Nautitech continues to prioritize sailing performance and offshore capability. The shipyard’s boats are known for their responsive handling and robust construction—designed as much for passagemaking as for lounging in the cockpit.
SEA.AI, a leader in maritime machine vision since 2018, sees the collaboration as a natural fit. “Nautitech catamarans are built for sailors who demand more,” says Bruno Guerin, Sales Manager France at SEA.AI. “Our system acts like a trusted co-skipper, helping crews sail farther and with more confidence—without adding complexity.”
The SEA.AI setup runs continuously and integrates with onboard electronics. Beyond enhancing safety while underway, it also supports low-speed maneuvering—scanning mooring fields and busy marinas to help sailors avoid surprises when arriving after dark.
As more cruising sailors explore AI-based tools for safety and navigation, partnerships like this one mark a growing shift in how boatbuilders are responding. For Nautitech, adding SEA.AI is another step toward a future where performance, comfort, and smart technology coexist in a package made for real sailing.
