Sailsense has secured €3.6 million in new funding to accelerate its international expansion and further strengthen its onboard intelligence platform dedicated to navigation, predictive maintenance, and smart safety for boats.
The funding was led by 3T Finance alongside several long-term investors.
Sailsense has spent the past eight years developing its connected boating experience through its SaaS and onboard intelligence ecosystem, designed for shipyards, fleets, and boat owners.
Its platform unifies technical, operational, and usage dataset within a single environment, accessible via web and mobile to enable real-time monitoring, smart maintenance, and safer navigation.
Enhanced visibility and traceability
The company’s technology allows users to track their vessel’s health, prevent failures, and access intelligent alerts.
It also provides manufacturers and operators with enhanced visibility, automation, and traceability of after-sales operations.
Sailsense is also planning to roll out its AI Captain system, developed as a next-generation onboard assistant to support crews with navigation and diagnostics through embedded artificial intelligence.
Connected boating is entering a new era.

“Connected boating is entering a new era,” explained Nicolas De Laet, CEO and co-founder of Sailsense.
“After years of innovation alongside shipyards and fleets, we’ve built a proven platform that helps the industry bring valuable, intuitive digital experiences to boaters — without starting from scratch.”
Yannick Vereerstraeten, COO and co-founder, added: “Sailsense is not a closed ecosystem but an open, modular platform that can integrate with existing marine systems.
“We’ve designed it to empower each partner to create their own connected experience, fully aligned with their brand and customers.”
Sailsense is planning to expand into several new markets, particularly the US and Australia.
