Seawolf Technologies
Seawolf Technologies offers the Ghost, a hand-launched, water-landing drone that gives sport and commercial fishing vessels their own AI-powered aerial fish-spotting capability. The drone flies for up to two hours, covers a 16-nautical-mile radius, and transmits detection alerts with coordinates directly to Navionics and TimeZero chart plotters. A $100 refundable deposit reserves a unit from the first production run shipping in early 2027.

Problem
Sport and commercial fishing vessels lack affordable, on-demand aerial fish-spotting capabilities, forcing captains to rely on expensive spotter planes, time-consuming visual scanning, or shared information from other boats that often arrives too late. This results in wasted fuel, missed opportunities, and inefficient fishing trips.
Solution
Seawolf Technologies provides the Ghost, a hand-launched, water-landing drone that gives individual vessels their own AI-powered fish-detection platform. The drone flies for up to 2 hours and covers a 16-nautical-mile radius, using artificial intelligence to identify tuna schools below the surface and breaching foam in real time. Detection alerts, including coordinates, are transmitted directly to the boat's existing chart plotter, integrating with Navionics and TimeZero systems. The system is designed for any crew member to operate without aviation training, eliminating the need for a dedicated pilot or shared aircraft. Seawolf is currently piloting the system with Southern California sport captains, with reservations open for the first production run.
Target Audience
Primary customers are sport fishing boat captains and commercial fishing fleets seeking independent, on-demand aerial fish-spotting capabilities to improve catch efficiency and reduce fuel costs.
