About Pollentia

Pollentia is a smart electric boat company building the next generation of marine mobility.

We design and manufacture fully electric vessels powered by an onboard AI system that acts as the brain of the boat—managing everything from navigation to energy optimization and real-time diagnostics. Our boats are engineered for performance, intelligence, and sustainability.

Problem statement

Lack of electric alternatives: The vast majority of boats still rely on outdated combustion engines, contributing to carbon emissions, noise pollution, and costly maintenance.

Poor user experience: Marine software and onboard systems are fragmented, clunky, and non-intuitive. Boaters lack real-time insights, preventative diagnostics, or smart system management.

Limited customer centricity: Unlike EVs or smart mobility on land, marine vehicles rarely prioritize the user journey, personalization, or data-driven performance.

Slow industry transformation: Regulatory shifts and climate goals demand change, yet the industry lacks companies bold enough to lead the way with advanced tech, design, and sustainability in one product.
