Investors
Sail drones with two hundred days of endurance, built in a yard that already makes racing composites. Sold as sea days to public bodies, navies and energy operators. A seed round is in preparation.
The thesis
The Mediterranean is watched from ports, from satellites and from ships that cost by the hour. Nobody stays on the water for a season.
Uncrewed sail vessels changed that elsewhere. In the Pacific and the Indian Ocean they already run missions of months for navies and for science. In the Mediterranean the demand exists and the supplier does not.
Dual use is the business model, not a slogan. The same hull serves a marine protected area in spring and a navy in autumn. The yard, the control room and the logistics are shared, and the sea days are billed twice.
Revenue is recurring by design. A customer buys days, then buys more days. The fleet is the asset, the data is the product, and every hull that leaves the hangar adds capacity that is already sold or on option.
Why us
Clean room, autoclave, five-axis milling. The hull is built where America's Cup grade structures are built, not bought from a supplier.
A co-founder who has commanded vessels for a living. Two hundred days at sea is a seamanship problem before it is an engineering one.
Cagliari sits on the route between Gibraltar and Suez, a day from Sicily and two from the Balearics. Base, launch and recovery in one place.
The yard invoices composite work for yachts and teams today. The drone is built on cash flow, not only on the round.
Civil and defence configurations on the same platform. Development is paid once and sold twice.
Signals
Public figures from press releases and news coverage, reported here as signals of the category. To be verified before any use with investors.
Roadmap
Four steps, each with a date, a number of hulls and a milestone that can be checked.
The first Maistrale hull is built and tested off Sardinia. Endurance, station keeping and the acoustic payload are proven on real days at sea.
Five hulls, the first sea-day contracts with a public body and an energy operator, and a defence trial under agreement.
A dedicated control centre in Cagliari, a second launch base on the mainland, and the first exclusive-fleet contract.
Fleet coverage from the Balearics to the Ionian, with recurring sea-day revenue covering operations.
Dates and hull counts are targets, not commitments. They move with the round and with sea trials.
Use of funds
Most of it becomes hulls. The rest makes them useful.
Indicative split of the round in preparation.
The founders
Co-founder, composites and engineering
Years in shipyards on carbon fibre structures and high-performance marine components, with work connected to iconic racing yachts and America's Cup level technologies.
Co-founder, operations at sea
A life at sea: regattas, professional sailing and the command of high-profile vessels. The sailor's view of what a hull has to survive for two hundred days.
Roles are those intended for the funded company.
A survey vessel sails for a week and costs by the hour. A sail drone stays out for a season and costs by the day. That is the whole business.
The ask
| Item | Target |
|---|---|
| Round | Seed, 3.5 M€ target |
| Instrument | Equity, priced round. A convertible is considered for early tickets |
| Use | Fleet, operations, sensors, team, certification |
| Timing | Opening in autumn 2026, closing targeted for spring 2027 |
| Lead | In discussion |
This page describes a round in preparation. It is not an offer of securities. Terms are shared in the data room under agreement.
Questions
A working composites yard with revenue, and a naval drone at prototype stage. The first hull is built in the same hangar as the yard's racing work.
The company. Hull, wing and payload integration are developed in house. Patents and design registrations are being filed as the prototype is completed.
Uncrewed surface vessels operate today in the Mediterranean under authorisations issued case by case. The pilot missions are designed with the authorities from the brief, and the roadmap includes certification work.
Saildrone in the United States, Ocius in Australia, Seasats in California. None is based in the Mediterranean, and none builds where it operates.
