About Pollentia

Pollentia is the first marine AI technology company building the intelligence layer for global fleets.

We integrate advanced navigation, fleet intelligence, and predictive diagnostics into vessels across recreational, commercial, industrial, and defense markets.

Through co-developed models like our Ventus reference fleet, manufacturers build vessels around Pollentia’s AI — unifying hardware (sensors, cameras, processors, displays) with smart software.

Pollentia systems make marine operations safer, more efficient, and easier to use — cutting downtime, reducing costs, and unlocking scalable adoption across every sector.

Our platform is designed to scale from individual vessels to government fleets, positioning Pollentia as the operating system of the sea.

Problem statement

Lack of intelligent systems: Most vessels still operate with outdated controls, no autonomy assist, and minimal data integration — leaving fleets inefficient and vulnerable.

Poor user experience: Marine software and onboard systems are fragmented, clunky, and hard to use. Captains lack real-time insights, predictive diagnostics, or unified system management.

Limited customer focus: Unlike mobility on land, marine technology rarely prioritizes the operator’s journey, ease of use, or actionable performance data.

Slow industry transformation: Regulations and market demand push for smarter, safer, cleaner operations — yet few companies are leading with AI-driven solutions at scale.

Pollentia set to kick off new york tech week

Pollentia is proud to announce that we will be kicking off New York Tech Week 2025, taking place from June 2–8. As a trailblazer in electric marine mobility and AI-integrated defense systems, we’re honored to set the tone for a week dedicated to innovation and technological advancement.

May 2025

We have begun the developments of the Phase 2 which are fleets focused on commercial, industrial, and defense models

Phase 2 Development Underway Pollentia has officially begun developments for Phase 2 — the next stage of our mission to revolutionize mobility. This phase focuses on the development of specialized fleets across three core sectors:

Commercial – smart electric vessels tailored for tourism, public transit, and enterprise use.

Industrial – heavy-duty, high-performance platforms for logistics, infrastructure, and utility operations.

Defense – next-generation tactical systems spanning naval, land, air, and cyber applications.

With Phase 2, we’re building scalable fleets that combine sustainability, autonomy, and cutting-edge engineering — designed to meet real-world challenges with precision and performance.

February 2025

Beta development of AI Co-Captain system, with real-time navigation, diagnostics, and energy management

Pollentia has come to the beta development of our proprietary AI Co-Captain, a first-of-its-kind onboard intelligence system designed specifically for electric marine mobility. This system handles autonomous and assisted navigation, real-time energy optimization, predictive diagnostics, and user guidance, bringing intuitive intelligence to the water. It functions as the central brain of the vessel, integrating software, sensors, and UX to create a seamless, human-centered marine experience.
