ARGUS | Autonomous Marine Intelligence System

The autonomous guardian. Your AI First Mate. The intelligent helm. Next-generation vessel awareness.

Core Capabilities

Instant Vessel Awareness: The moment ARGUS connects to your NMEA 2000 network it automatically discovers every sensor aboard: engines, tanks, batteries, depth and wind. Zero configuration required and nothing to set up.
Always Watching: ARGUS knows when you are docked, anchored or underway and responds accordingly. While you sleep, a precision GPS geofence monitors your swing circle and dock position, alerting you the instant anything moves.
Early Warning Intelligence: ARGUS does not wait for things to break. It continuously cross-references every sensor reading to detect gradual degradation, catching a developing cooling issue or battery fault hours before it becomes a crisis at sea.
Your Entire Manual Library, Digitized and Searchable: Upload your OEM manuals once and ask ARGUS anything. It retrieves the exact page, surfaces the schematic and automatically builds your maintenance schedule from the manufacturer's own instructions.
54-Tool Ecosystem: From calculating your fuel range to a waypoint, to querying your engine's service history, to dispatching a task to your crew by phone, ARGUS has a dedicated capability for every aspect of vessel management. All of it executed automatically within a single natural conversation.
Navigate With Confidence: ARGUS delivers live tide predictions, wind analysis and weather windows for your planned passage. Ask it to plan a route and it returns a nautical chart with each leg colour coded by conditions so you can make the call before you leave the dock.
If It Cannot Reach You, It Calls You: When a critical alert goes unacknowledged ARGUS places a direct phone call to the captain or designated crew, explains the situation and stays on the line. Because some emergencies cannot wait for a notification.
Knows Your Boat. Knows Your Crew: ARGUS maintains a persistent memory of your vessel's history, your personal preferences and every past conversation. Add crew members and it manages them individually, with the captain in full control of who sees what and who receives what.
Your Morning Briefing, Delivered: Every morning ARGUS sends a concise brief covering overnight alerts, today's weather and tides, upcoming maintenance and your fuel and tank status. Your boat's night watch, summarised before your first coffee.
Offline Monitoring & Buffering: While AI requires connectivity, local polling never stops offshore. An onboard SQLite buffer provides approximately 83 hours of uninterrupted monitoring through any connectivity loss.

The Hard Truth

Top 5: Machinery failure ranks as a primary contributing factor in recreational boating accidents year after year.

54%: Of machinery failures trace back to engine failure, the kind that shows up in sensor data long before catastrophe.

1 in 5: Boating accidents are caused by poor maintenance. Most of these incidents are entirely preventable.

$63M+: In annual property damage resulting from over 4,000 recreational boating accidents in the U.S. alone.

About ARGUS

Built by boaters, for boaters. Designed to bring true, reliable intelligence to the water. ARGUS is an independent product, developed in Vancouver, BC. As an owner, I struggled with the constant anxiety of managing complex onboard systems. I was tired of digging through hundreds of pages of manuals, second guessing the vessel's true state, and hoping nothing would fail offshore. I built ARGUS to solve the exact problems I faced on the water.
