Run it smarter.
SeaVRO builds affordable onboard intelligence for small boats — camera-based hazard detection that watches for floating logs and debris, and voyage optimization that trims your fuel bill. Built and tested on British Columbia's working coast.
Why we exist
The hazards you can't see are the ones that get you
On the Pacific Northwest coast, floating logs and deadheads are a fact of life — barely awash, nearly invisible in chop or glare, and capable of ending a trip in a second. Radar doesn't see them. Charts can't show them. Today the only defense is a tired pair of eyes. Meanwhile, every hour underway burns fuel that the right speed and trim could save. Both problems have the same answer: better information at the helm.
The platform
Two layers of onboard intelligence
SeaVRO is one platform with two complementary layers — a vision system that watches the water, and an optimization system that listens to your boat.
DriftWatch
Camera-based detection of floating logs, deadheads, and other surface hazards. Marine-grade cameras on your arch, edge AI onboard, and clear alerts at the helm — no subscription, no cloud dependency, no six-figure sensor suite.
Learn about DriftWatch →Voyage Optimizer
Plugs into the NMEA 2000 network your boat already has and turns its data into savings — live fuel-per-mile, speed and trim guidance, and early warning of engine trouble. Listening-only by design: it advises, it never takes control.

Built by boaters, for the boats the industry forgot
Collision-avoidance AI exists today — at superyacht prices. SeaVRO is designed from the keel up for real working boats: sport fishers, cruisers, water taxis, and small commercial vessels.
Affordable on purpose
Off-the-shelf marine cameras and efficient edge AI instead of exotic sensors. A system priced for the boats that actually hit logs — not just the ones with a paid captain.
Trained where it matters
We're collecting a first-of-its-kind dataset of real floating hazards, filmed from real vessels in BC coastal conditions — glare, chop, rain, and all. Our models learn from the water you actually run.
Advisory by design
SeaVRO systems listen and advise — they never steer, throttle, or override the skipper. Simple to trust, simple to insure, and they work alongside the chartplotter you already own.
Where we are
On the water now
SeaVRO is in active development, with camera rigs collecting real-world hazard footage on the BC coast this season and Voyage Optimizer running on our test vessels. Follow along, or get in early.
Collect
The 2026 season is our dataset season — cameras recording thousands of real encounters with logs, debris, kelp, and wildlife from vessel height.
Detect
Winter brings the watcher: efficient edge AI that spots hazards in real time and raises alerts at the helm, on hardware that sips power.
Connect
Then the network — SeaVRO boats sharing confirmed hazards so the whole fleet sees what any one boat has seen.
