About BOMARINO
BOMARINO is one of the flagship ventures born within Maritime Ventures. It is a smart vessel assistant that centralizes all technical, operational, and maintenance data of a boat or yacht – turning disorganized documentation and fragmented support into a seamless, AI-powered experience.
By connecting shipyards, owners, and service providers, BOMARINO helps users manage their vessel’s lifecycle with predictive maintenance, real-time insights, and access to trusted suppliers and technicians. The platform is designed for both B2B and B2B2C markets, with early validation from potential users in the leisure and small-commercial boating segments.
BOMARINO is currently in product development with strong traction and backing, and we are now looking for a CEO/Entrepreneur in Residence to lead the venture into the next phase of growth.
