Words you never want to say from the helm:
’I think we’re fine.’”
"Is that a log? Something else floating?"
You won't know until it's close enough to matter, and by then you're already doing the math on a repair bill.
Here's what that split second of uncertainty actually costs for a premium boat:
- A minor gelcoat scrape: $700-$1,200
- A single impact with stress cracks: $2,500-$15,000
- Anything structural: $25,000-$50,000+
And that’s before the tow bill, the lost time, and the call to your insurance company.
Recreational boating accidents caused $88 million in property damage last year. Most of it avoidable.
LOOKOUT detects what radar misses and what you can't spot until it's too late... low-contrast hazards, submerged debris, other vessels crossing your path.
More time to react. No emergency calls to BoatUS or Sea Tow.

We used AI to recreate a scenario our test captains know all too well. (No test captains were harmed in the making of this post.)
The interface shown is illustrative; the actual LOOKOUT UI offers even more, including real-time distance readouts, collision alerts, and bearing data for every detected vessel.
Here at LOOKOUT, we use machine vision and AI edge processing to make boating safer. So it felt right to let AI show what that looks like in the conditions you'd rather avoid.
Because being on the water? That part's not AI-generated.
Maintain a proper LOOKOUT. 🌊
