Making electric propulsion work end to end

The core problem

Propulsion, batteries, energy systems. Today they rarely talk to each other.

A yacht's electric motor, battery bank, solar array, charge regulators and house loads each generate and consume energy according to their own logic, with no awareness of what the others are doing. The result is a system that is less than the sum of its parts: energy wasted, range compromised, and fault conditions that no single component supplier can diagnose or own.

Watt Knots uses advanced telemetry and software to tie these systems together, monitoring and optimising how every watt is generated, stored and used across the whole vessel, for safety, comfort and cost. And where the right hardware doesn't exist to make electric propulsion work in the real world, we build it. Software and hardware, co-equal, built in partnership with the leading electric-propulsion manufacturers and forward-thinking boat builders.

"Electric propulsion that goes the distance, not just within sight of the marina."

No system intelligence

Each component operates in isolation, unaware of what the others are doing. No vendor is responsible for how the system performs as a whole, which means no one optimises it.

Integration burden on the builder

Every yard assembling an electric vessel from disparate suppliers must solve the integration problem themselves: at specification time, during installation, and every time a component is updated.

Gaps the components don't cover

For some problems in real-world electric sailing, the right component simply doesn't exist yet. The gap between what's available and what's needed is where range is lost and where installs fail.

Service complexity

A fault in a multi-vendor installation requires navigating multiple support channels with potentially conflicting diagnoses. A single-system architecture: one supplier, one service interface, removes that entirely.
