sea.ai
SEA.AI provides AI-powered camera systems for maritime safety, detecting and classifying objects on water surfaces that conventional systems like Radar or AIS may miss. It serves recreational, commercial, security, and defense maritime sectors with real-time object detection to enhance safety and situational awareness.
THE PRODUCT, BEYOND THE PITCH
Automatically researched · Not editorially reviewed · Sources checked Sep 14, 2026
A good fit for
- Recreational sailors and motor boaters seeking enhanced visual watch for vessels, debris, and hazards missed by AIS and radar.
- Commercial vessels such as workboats, ferries, and offshore vessels requiring real-time object detection to reduce collision risk.
- Coastal monitoring and search-and-rescue operations needing AI-driven detection of small, fast-moving, or non-cooperative targets.
- Naval and maritime defense missions requiring persistent automated visual intelligence to identify surface threats at range.
Know the limitations
Not confirmed yet.
What you can do
- Counter-USV detection by naval forces and coast guards to detect, classify, and track non-cooperative surface contacts in real time.
- Safer boating for motorboats and sailing yachts by providing consistent watchkeeping and early alerts to floating hazards and vessels.
- Search and rescue, commercial maritime surveillance, and government maritime safety applications using AI-enhanced thermal cameras.
Features
- AI-powered detection and classification of objects on water surfaces including unsignalled craft, floating obstacles, buoys, inflatables, kayaks, and persons overboard.
- Integration with existing navigation screens to display detections without requiring additional displays or new user habits.
Integrations

A practical workflow
- Use thermal vision models to detect objects, boats, and people at night, receiving early AI alerts to stay safe after sunset.
- Configure Watchkeeper with desired thermal camera resolution and field of view to balance detection range and coverage according to boating needs.
