Ocean Intelligence
Made Simple
Deploy professional-grade monitoring in minutes. Get real-time data immediately. Scale effortlessly.
The Spotter Platform
A turnkey, all-in-one solution for real-time ocean data. From moored buoys to mobile vessels, every Spotter streams to the same dashboard and API.
Fixed-Point Ocean Monitoring
Moor in up to 50m of water for continuous surface and subsurface data. Measure waves, wind, and weather at the surface while extending sensing below with Smart Mooring sensors.
Spatial Survey & Gap Filling
Transit between locations to measure how conditions vary across a region. Fill coverage gaps or scout new deployment sites.
Lagrangian Monitoring
Follow currents to track conditions as they move. Deploy a Spotter buoy as a free drifter or use a Spotter Scout with return-to-home-capability.
Deep Water Station Keeping
Hold position in water of any depth without a mooring. Configure station-keeping from 50m to 10km radius. 6+ months of unattended operation.
