A single onboard unit that translates your marine VHF communications in real time and integrates WindWatch, the collaborative wind beacon network. No radio modification. Installation by a certified marine technician.
Greek. Turkish. Croatian. English. Spanish. In international sailing, channel 16 doesn't pick a language. Every misunderstood message is a risk.
The sequence reproduces a real situation: a VHF message in English received on channel 16, automatic transcription, instant translation to French, then switching to WindWatch with a gust alert triggered.
WindWatch monitors wind data in real time within a defined radius around your vessel. Every MARINELINGUA enriches the network — the more equipped vessels, the more precise the coverage.
MARINELINGUA connects passively to your existing VHF radio. No replacement, no modification.
80% of the European leisure fleet covered from launch.
Tested in real conditions on a Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 — Mediterranean.
Professional offshore skipper since 2011, marine technician and sailing instructor, I sailed the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Caribbean for 14 years facing a simple but dangerous problem: VHF communications in languages the crew cannot understand. MARINELINGUA was born from this field reality.
MARINELINGUA launches its pre-series in spring 2027. Sign up to be notified first, join field tests, and get exclusive launch pricing.
