Day and night awareness with thermal-equipped models.
Supply & installation in the UAE
System selection and project support through Yacht IQ.
Machine vision at sea
More awareness. From the bridge to the waterline.
Small boats without AIS, unlit buoys, floating debris and people in the water can be difficult to spot. SEA.AI combines camera imagery with artificial intelligence to identify objects on the surface and alert the crew.
Thermal-equipped systems extend that visual awareness into darkness. Designed to complement radar and AIS, SEA.AI adds another source of information for cruising yachts, superyachts and performance sailing boats.
The SEA.AI range
A system for the way you sail.
Choose a dedicated camera system or add AI detection to a compatible thermal camera already on board. Yacht IQ can help match the configuration to your vessel and its use.
Motor & sailing yachts
Watchkeeper
A compact, dedicated lookout with automatic object detection and alerts. Thermal-equipped Motor and Sailing models add night vision; Lite covers daylight and twilight.
A pan-and-tilt system combining thermal and low-light cameras with AI. Offers automatic detection, target tracking and 360° perimeter monitoring for supported configurations.
Add AI object detection and alerts to an existing compatible thermal camera. A practical route to machine vision when retaining selected onboard camera equipment.
A lightweight system developed for racing yachts with rotating masts. Combines thermal and low-light imagery with AI detection, with 320 and 640 thermal variants.
Watchkeeper Lite uses a colour camera for daylight and twilight; it does not include thermal night vision. Features, detection performance and display integration depend on the selected model and installation.
From image to awareness
See the picture. Understand the risk.
Identify surface objects
AI helps distinguish boats, buoys, people and other floating hazards in the camera view.
Receive real-time alerts
Automatic detection helps draw the crew's attention to potential hazards without continuously watching a video feed.
Plan the right integration
We review camera position, vessel layout, power, cabling and compatible displays before specifying a system.
Detection depends on configuration, mounting, object size, weather and sea conditions. SEA.AI supports the crew's lookout and decision-making; it does not steer the yacht or replace a proper lookout.
Before you specify
Your SEA.AI questions, answered.
Does SEA.AI replace radar, AIS or the crew’s lookout?
No. SEA.AI adds camera-based surface-object detection to the information available to the crew. It complements radar and AIS and supports a proper lookout. The captain remains responsible for navigation and action.
Can SEA.AI detect objects at night?
Thermal-equipped SEA.AI models provide detection in darkness. Watchkeeper Lite is the exception: its colour camera is intended for daylight and twilight. Visibility, weather, sea state, object size and installation affect performance.
Can I keep my existing thermal camera?
SEA.AI Brain is designed to add AI detection to compatible third-party thermal cameras. Send Yacht IQ your camera make and model so we can confirm compatibility and the required integration before recommending a system.
Can it see reefs or objects below the surface?
SEA.AI detects visible objects on the water’s surface. It does not detect submerged reefs or replace charts, depth sounders or sonar.
Can Yacht IQ supply and install SEA.AI in the UAE?
Yes. Yacht IQ can help specify, supply and install the system for your yacht in the UAE. Share your vessel details and existing electronics so we can confirm the model, installation scope, export requirements and project lead time.
SEA.AI through Yacht IQ
Let's specify your onboard lookout.
Tell us about your yacht, your cruising plans and the electronics already on board. We will help you select a SEA.AI configuration and plan supply, installation and setup in the UAE.
Please include vessel make, length, motor or sail, intended use and existing camera or display models. Pricing, compatibility, export requirements and lead times are confirmed for each project.
