Who better than our clients to share their experience and talk about the effectiveness of our camera?
“This camera already has some incredible innovations because the technology has allowed us to incorporate more things. It has artificial intelligence and it has imaging software that informs us of what we are seeing. At the end of the day, even though all the high-speed ship are required to have two officers, always looking ahead in case we find something, it’s like having a third officer looking, because as soon as it detects any object it gives you a warning saying something is there.”
Ivan Fernandez – Head of Technical Department at Fred Olsen
“The big advantage is that, in terms of settings, there’s nothing to do. It’s very intuitive. And then you can use either the color camera or the infrared night-time camera. Even though it’s compulsory to keep a lookout, it’s a super-reliable second who’s always there.”

“The worst outcome is having to abandon the race because of something that was beyond my control […] Oscar (SEA.AI) is detecting floating objects I could potentially have a collision with. So he’s detecting all kinds of floating things and then sorting them out.”
Samantha Davies – Skipper, IMOCA 60 – Initiatives Cœur
“I think SEA.AI is a great tool. I would say this is a tool for the future. We need to use it more and more. It was two years ago during the Transat Jacques Vabre with Sam Davies, Initiatives Cœur with the help of SEA.AI, we were able to avoid a collision which with a very small fishing boat along the African coast.”
Nicolas Lunven, Skipper, IMOCA 60 – HOLCIM-PRB
“I’have used SEA.AI for two years. It was on the boat when I bought it from Alex Thompson. We had a really good experience with it on the Bermuda 1000 miles at the beginning of the year. We were downwind, our AIS was not really working, and it started beeping 30m away from a big fishing boat. We just had time to change our course and pass about ten meters away of that big fishing boat. If it wasn’t on, we would have crashed the boat into the fishermen. So, it works.”
Alan Roura – Skipper, IMOCA 60′, Hublot
“I’ve had SEA.AI since I got this boat. I’ve took possesion of it in May last years. It brings a lot to me personnaly when i’m sailing on my own. So, i’ve use it a lot when i’m single handed. What it brings is an extra navigational safety because it allows me to detect obstacles that I can’t see on the radar or on the AIS. Very very simple, It was basically something that was in the boat when I got it last year and I never opened a manual, I just pushed the buttons and it was very self explanatory. So several times i’ve been sailing in the dark at night. In Danmark, there are many shallow areas where there’s lot of fishing equipment out and several times i’ve avoided diving into fishing tackle because of the alarm of the system. I’ve also use it when i’ve sailed through bridge construction area where there was lot of buoys that weren’t lit. Some of them were deffective and I was able to see them using the system.”
