Avikus and AquaSport Launch First Autonomously Equipped Sport Boat Company

Avikus and AquaSport Boats announced at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a collaboration to create the world’s first autonomously equipped recreational sport boat company.

Avikus is a trailblazer in Artificial Intelligence, ADAS, and Autonomous boat technology, and AquaSport Boats is renowned for its vision and commitment to being a leader in monohull design. This collaboration promises to deliver a line of center- and dual-console recreational sport boats, under the Twin Vee brand, each craft meticulously designed, developed, and manufactured to provide an unparalleled boating experience that incorporates advanced navigation assist and autonomous functionality. The first models will make their debut this summer, with additional models being introduced in late 2024 under the Twin Vee, Forza, and AquaSport brands.

The Avikus and AquaSport collaboration will advance the recreational sport boating market by harnessing the power of AI, sensor fusion, and machine learning to provide a new level of safety, convenience, and confidence to both new and experienced boaters.

Avikus’ NeuBoat technology will bring the innovations seen in the automotive sector to the recreational marine market, such as 360-degree situational awareness, 3D cluster views, advanced route planning, “smart” autopilot navigation that can identify objects and avoid potential collisions, and most importantly, autonomous self-docking capability. These enhancements will attract the next generation of boaters to the market, and aid existing boaters with navigation and docking. Avikus’ NeuBoat autonomous level 2 navigation solution for recreational boats was also recognized for innovation at CES. This is the second consecutive year Avikus was recognized by the show in the category “Vehicle Tech and Advanced Mobility”.
