The Soundings Trade Only Group named Lookout the winner of the EPIC Awards Startup Category yesterday during the International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition and conference in Tampa, Fla.
Lookout fuses computer vision, augmented reality and real-time hazard detection into a single view at the helm. The system detects and tracks vessels, buoys, debris and other navigation hazards in difficult conditions — night runs, low light, glare and crowded channels.
Lookout also recently announced a major expansion of its global distribution and dealer network through new strategic partnerships across Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.
The expanded network brings AI marine vision to more users worldwide, backed by local sales, installation and technical support, Yachting Ventures stated in a press release.
Lookout’s new international partners include:
- Nordics: PowerDuo (Finland) and Digital Skipper (Sweden)
- Mediterranean: Azimutel (Spain), RLR (Malta) and Promar (Turkey)
- Portugal: Nautiradar
- Middle East: Exalto Emirates
- Africa: C Dynamics International (South Africa)
- Asia-Pacific: ISCO (Japan), AMI and Exalto Emirates (Singapore), and Southern Seas Marine (Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific)
Lookout integrates with Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, Furuno, Volvo, Yamaha and other major electronics platforms. It also was winner of the 2025 IBEX Innovation Award.
