Everything you wanted to know about WATCHIT
Who are the people behind WATCHIT?
WATCHIT was born out of true necessity. When seasoned captains and ex-naval commanders sailed with their families for a relaxing, joyful cruise and one of them was involved in a boating accident, he immediately thought of a technological solution that could prevent this from ever happening again but was shocked to see there were none on the market. He put together his experience and that of his captain mates and created an A-team, including top-notch tech experts.
They asked themselves why, despite all of the available technology and data, operator error is still the main contributing factor in sea accidents, while grounding and collisions are among the top five types of marine accidents worldwide. After years of crafting, the perfect solution was born – WATCHIT Smart Prevention System.
