Two ways to order. Since 1 November, the Galvanic Voice with two Galvanic Pulse bracelets is €950 ex VAT. The Galvanic Voice with six Galvanic Pulse bracelets is €1,300 ex VAT, for crews who want a bracelet for everyone aboard. Up to 16 bracelets can be used on one boat, and further bracelets are sold separately.

For larger boats and fleets. One boat can carry several Galvanic Voice units, which work together across the boat. Charter companies and dealers can contact us at info@galvanicworks.com for pricing.

The Galvanic Voice is an intelligent voice alert system for sailing boats. It connects to the boat’s NMEA 2000 network and to the people aboard through the Galvanic Pulse bracelets they wear, and it can give more than 500 alerts, depending on the boat’s instruments, in one voice and five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian and German. The man overboard alarm is automatic, with no button to press. The anchor watch starts by itself when you anchor. Vessels closing on the boat are announced with bearing, distance and time to closest approach.

Recognised by the sailing press. The Galvanic Voice is nominated for Equipment Innovation of the Year at the British Yachting Awards 2026. Yachting World featured it in its November 2026 issue, and it has been covered by YACHT, BOOTE, Bateaux.com, Sailing Today, The Triton, Scuttlebutt Sailing News, Sviluppo Nautico and PressMare.

“Our pre-order customers have waited since May, and this quarter their Galvanic Voice comes aboard,” said Natalie Smith, Founder and CCO of Galvanic Works. “The six-bracelet pack is for crews who want a bracelet on everyone aboard. With the free Galvanic Sailing app, everyone aboard sees what the helm sees. Owner, captain and crew each see and do what their role allows.”

Traffic you can see. AIS targets closing on the boat are announced by the Galvanic Voice with vessel type, name, bearing, distance and time to closest approach, and the app shows how a converging vessel is going to pass: a picture rather than two numbers to interpret at three in the morning.

Weather and performance. A multi-model weather forecast and barometric trends, and a polar performance heatmap, built on the Galvanic Voice as you sail.

The crew and the boat. Watch scheduling, watch reminders and monitoring of on-duty activity during trips, estimating the fatigue level of each crew member and escalating when necessary. Maintenance, repairs and actions are shared across several phones, with and without internet, and come due by motor hours, sailing hours and seasons. Owner, captain and crew each see and do what their role allows.

From anywhere. With an internet connection the boat can be checked from anywhere, and critical alerts are propagated remotely when the boat is at anchor or in harbour.

Behind the app is the Galvanic Voice, an intelligent voice alert system. It watches your boat, your crew and the sea around you, and talks aloud only when it is needed. It can give more than 500 alerts, depending on the boat’s instruments, all in one voice. It connects to the boat’s NMEA 2000 network, and to the people aboard through the Galvanic Pulse bracelets they wear.

Instead of simple thresholds, the Galvanic Voice fuses signals from several sources and draws more out of them, and the app shows you all of it. The engine oil pressure is assessed for the given rpm and oil temperature, and compared with your engine’s reference history. Below 0.5 bar, at any engine speed, you hear “Alert. Engine oil pressure critical. Stop the engine.” The trip logbook works the same way: every voyage is logged, and its fuel stations, anchorages and harbours are recognised and labelled, all automatically. Under sail, when the apparent wind reaches the reefing wind speed the captain set in the app, the Galvanic Voice suggests the first reef while you are busy trimming. Messages are zone-aware and match the specific conditions of each navigation zone, from coastal to offshore waters.

When someone goes over the lifeline there is no time to press buttons, and there is no button to press. The man overboard alarm is automatic, and it speaks the name, the relative bearing and the distance repeatedly, at intervals, to minimise the mental workload in a stressful situation: “Emergency. Peter overboard. Relative bearing 150 degrees. 40 meters.” Thanks to its low power, the Galvanic Voice can run 24/7, and a network of units can cover larger boats with a coordinated and adapted behaviour, talking to the nearest crew member or alerting everybody, depending on severity.

At anchor. The anchor watch starts automatically when you anchor, with no circle to draw, and it reports a drag in metres and the drift rate.

“Galvanic Sailing is where the trip starts, not where it ends,” said Natalie Smith, Founder and CCO of Galvanic Works. “You check the forecast, plan the watches and look over the boat before you cast off. Under way, the Galvanic Voice speaks and the app shows you what it sees. Download it today and try it before your next sail.”

The Galvanic Voice and the app speak English, Spanish, French, Italian and German.

Example alerts spoken by the system:

“Wind warning. 30 knots.”

“Alert. Commercial vessel collision risk, alter to starboard. Relative bearing 045 degrees. Distance 2.8 nautical miles. CPA 0.1 nautical miles. Time to closest approach 6 minutes.”

“Emergency. Man Over Board! Man Over Board! Man Over Board! Relative bearing 180 degrees. Distance 40 meters.”

“Every sailor knows the problem,” said Natalie Smith, Founder & CCO of Galvanic Works. “Your boat has a dozen alarms that all sound the same. At 3am, you can’t tell if it’s critical or trivial. So you either take your eyes off the water to decode it, or you ignore it, and neither is safe.”

“I have brought several hi-tech products to market over my career,” said Piero Zucchelli, Founder & CEO of Galvanic Works. “Galvanic Voice is the one I am most proud of: taking sophisticated science and technology from particle physics, robotics and AI to the pleasure sailing boat, and to the safety of the people on board.”
