CAPTURE
Multiple views of the cockpit, deck and offshore environment.
ONBOARD AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCTION
CLOSER TO THOSE WHO TAKE ON THE OCEAN.
VisualBoat is developing a new way to tell the story of offshore racing: capturing emotion, sound and moments at sea from onboard without adding to the skipper’s workload.

MULTI-CAMERA CAPTURE ✳IMMERSIVE AUDIO ✳AUTOMATED PRODUCTION ✳ADAPTIVE LIVE ✳
01 / SYSTEM
The race is more than the start and the finish.
Offshore, so many moments remain unseen: fatigue, focus, sea spray and the raw beauty of the ocean. Our aim is to share them without distracting skippers from sailing.
◉
3D AUDIO
Marine-ready microphones, spatial capture, intelligible speech and authentic ambience.
↔
AUTOMATION
Simple triggering, local recording and multi-camera program composition.
≋
DELIVERY
Adaptive transmission based on bandwidth, with recovery and delayed upload.
02 / OFFER ROADMAP
From capture to live.
Three complementary stages, developed and tested progressively in real conditions.
01 / VisualBoat Capture
Onboard multi-camera and audio capture, local recording and footage for replays.
02 / VisualBoat Production
Automated multi-camera production, navigation-data synchronization and ready-to-use content preparation.
03 / VisualBoat Live
Adaptive transmission over available links, monitoring, distribution and multi-boat replays.
03 / WHO FOR?
Content that works for every stakeholder.
Teams & skippers
Capture more content without adding tasks while racing.
Sponsors
Turn sponsorship into authentic stories from offshore.
Organizers
Keep telling the race story beyond departure and finish.
Media & broadcasters
Access footage designed for integration into productions, subject to rights.

05 / HORIZON
The race doesn't end at the start line.
Our vision is to extend the race village experience offshore, connect audiences with skippers throughout the passage, and explore a future channel aggregating stories from multiple boats.
◌ Technology under development: automated capture, energy performance and offshore live delivery require validation at sea.
06 / PILOT
Let’s test VisualBoat on a racing yacht.
We are looking for partners to scope and trial an onboard capture system, measure its constraints and define useful deliverables for communications.
PILOT OBJECTIVES
- Measure weight, power and reliability
- Minimize skipper interactions
- Assess usable footage quality
- Plan at-sea trials
07 / CONTACT
LET'S CREATE THE NEXT ONBOARD EXPERIENCE.
IMOCA and ULTIM teams, organizers, sponsors and broadcasters: let’s discuss a pilot, its constraints and deliverables.
