Engineering the Next Era of Smart Vessels

Instead of exhibiting on the Miami Boat Show floor, we are inviting select attendees aboard our test vessel for private, on-the-water demos of Command™. These exclusive tours offer a real-world look at vessel monitoring and control in action, beyond the booth and underway in Miami.

The 2025 WorkBoat Show made one thing clear. Operators and port engineers want better visibility into the fluid levels that drive day-to-day operations. From fuel transfer to hydraulic systems, crews are looking for accurate data they can trust. This recap breaks down what we heard and how the Command Platform is helping vessels and fleets move toward clearer, more reliable system awareness.

A look at how two Connecticut builders turned their shared background in automation, manufacturing, and real-world engineering into Seaward Automation. This is the story of the partnership, the problem they saw in the marine industry, and the mission that drives the Command platform today.

In 2025, we introduced our first-ever internship program at Seaward Automation. Preston joined as our Market Analyst intern and quickly became a meaningful contributor while gaining real experience in a competitive industry.

A 66’ Viking test vessel completed a nonstop 1,200-nautical-mile run from New London to Palm Beach to evaluate the Command marine automation platform under real offshore conditions.

FLIBS 2025 delivered strong momentum for marine and vessel automation heading into the season.

One year after showing up to FLIBS with only pamphlets and a vision, the Command Platform is now live on the water with our first OEM partner signed and our R&D team doubling in size.

A strong debut for the Command Platform at the Newport Boat Show with major interest in marine and vessel automation.
