In December 2024, Raymarine announced a collaboration with WATCHIT to integrate advanced collision prevention technology into their marine electronics. This partnership combines WATCHIT's Smart Collision Prevention System with Raymarine's Axiom chartplotters, enhancing situational awareness and safety for boaters. Additionally, Raymarine's LightHouse Charts have been designated as the official mapping solution for all WATCHIT systems. But... that's not all.

Raymarine has recently partnered with Zin Boats to develop the Z11, an advanced electric superyacht tender. This collaboration integrates Raymarine's Axiom 2 XL 19-inch and Axiom+ 9-inch chartplotter displays with YachtSense digital switching and vessel monitoring, enhancing navigation and safety features. The Z11 is equipped with comprehensive navigation and communication systems, including a Ray90 modular VHF radio and CP100 CHIRP DownVision sonar, ensuring safety and connectivity on every voyage. Even that, however, wasn't the end (!) of Raymarine's recent marine safety partnerships.

Raymarine has been at the forefront of advancing boating safety through various initiatives. The company has developed digital boating solutions like the YachtSense Ecosystem, which enables complete onboard and offboard integration with all devices connected to the boat's network. This system allows for enhanced control and monitoring, contributing to safer and more efficient vessel operation.

Through these collaborations and technological advancements, Raymarine continues to prioritize safety and innovation in the marine industry, providing boaters with reliable and state-of-the-art solutions for safer navigation, and genuinely embodying the axiom of 'safer together'. As marine technology becomes increasingly interconnected, it's likely that other software and hardware companies will seek to maximize capabilities with key partnerships.
