Pollentia & Ventus: Redefining the Future of Smart Electric Boating

For decades, the ocean has remained one of the last frontiers untouched by intelligent automation. While aviation and automotive industries have embraced electric propulsion and AI-powered systems, boating has largely remained the same—demanding skill, constant attention, and a deep understanding of the water.

Pollentia was founded to change that.

The inspiration for Pollentia came from two distinct yet equally forward-thinking perspectives.

CEO & Co-Founder Tyler Temple, a former U.S. Navy Damage Controlman, spent time aboard an advanced electric aircraft carrier, experiencing firsthand the cutting-edge technology that made a massive vessel operate smoothly and efficiently. At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder:

• How different would it feel to be on a smaller boat in these same unpredictable waters, without the assistance of such advanced systems?
• Why do recreational and commercial boaters still lack the intelligence, automation, and safety features found on warships?
• What if those technologies—and even greater innovations—could be brought to all sectors of marine travel?

Meanwhile, Co-Founder & CTO Ivan Shterev, an expert in large-scale EV development, had spent years pushing the limits of electric vehicle technology. Having worked on some of the most advanced energy systems in electric vehicles, he was fascinated by the question:

• How far can EV technology go in the marine world?
• Can we design an electric vessel that not only performs better but also outthinks traditional boats?
• What if an electric boat could actively learn, assist, and optimize itself in real time?

From these two perspectives—one rooted in naval expertise, the other in groundbreaking EV technology—Pollentia was born.

The mission? To create the world’s first AI-powered smart electric boats, making recreational, commercial, and even defense vessels more intelligent, autonomous, and effortless to operate.

That vision became reality with Ventus, Pollentia’s first-generation AI-powered electric boat.

AI Co-Captain: The Crew of 5,000, In a Single System

For those who have never lived aboard a naval warship, it’s hard to grasp the level of coordination required to keep it running. A warship is essentially a floating city, with 5,000 highly skilled sailors, each trained in specific areas—from navigation to maintenance to damage control.

The Pollentia team knew this firsthand—whenever a problem arose, there was always someone who had the answer.

That experience inspired Pollentia’s most groundbreaking innovation:

The AI Co-Captain – Not Just a System, But a True Second-in-Command

Pollentia’s AI Co-Captain isn’t just an autopilot—it’s the brain of the boat. More than just a navigation system, it is a knowledgeable, experienced digital first mate designed to ensure that no boater—whether experienced or brand new—ever has to navigate the water alone.

• Autonomous Navigation – The AI continuously analyzes weather, currents, and obstacles, adjusting the route in real time.
• Collision Avoidance – Using advanced sensor technology, it actively detects risks and adjusts course to prevent accidents.
• Learning & Adaptation – The Co-Captain doesn’t just control the boat—it learns from the captain’s habits and preferences over time.
• An Onboard Instructor – Whether you’re an expert or a beginner, the AI guides you in real time, helping you understand both your vessel and the water.

Inspired by the intelligent AI assistants from science fiction, the Pollentia Co-Captain acts as a trusted partner, anticipating your needs, assisting when necessary, and ensuring that no decision has to be made alone.

Ventus: The Boat That Thinks for Itself

Ventus is designed to be more than just a boat—it is a fully intelligent electric vessel that works alongside its captain to create a seamless, effortless experience.

• Smart Docking: The AI ensures perfect docking every time, even in challenging conditions.
• Energy Optimization: Real-time propulsion adjustments maximize battery efficiency for extended range.
• Damage Diagnostics: The boat constantly monitors its hull, propulsion system, and overall health, preventing issues before they happen.
• Predictive Maintenance: The AI schedules service reminders and provides remote diagnostics, ensuring Ventus stays in peak condition.

With Ventus, the complexities of boating fade away, leaving only the freedom of the open water.

Beyond Ventus: A Vision for the Future

While Ventus is Pollentia’s first smart electric boat, it is only the beginning. Pollentia is pushing toward a future where AI-powered electric boats become the standard across all sectors—recreational, commercial, and defense.

• Recreational Boating: Making the water safer, easier, and more accessible for all experience levels.
• Commercial Vessels: Reducing downtime, optimizing efficiency, and enhancing fleet management.
• Defense & Security: Providing next-generation autonomous electric patrol and support vessels for military and law enforcement applications.

Building a Smarter Marine Infrastructure

A smarter boat needs a smarter charging network—and Pollentia is taking the lead in building a reliable EV marine infrastructure across North America.

• Expanding Charging Stations: Pollentia is working to establish a dependable network of high-speed chargers at marinas and key coastal locations.
• Sustainable Energy Solutions: Researching solar and wind-assisted charging to extend range and reduce reliance on shore power.
• Reliable Marine Power: Ensuring that AI-powered electric boats have the support they need to thrive.

By laying the foundation for a strong charging infrastructure, Pollentia is not just building boats—it’s shaping the future of the entire marine industry.
