For Immediate Release

Galvanic Works Opens Pre-Orders for Galvanic Voice, an Intelligent Marine Voice Alert System for Pleasure Sailing Boats

PALMA DE MALLORCA, SPAIN — 27 May 2026 — Galvanic Works today opened pre-orders for Galvanic Voice, an intelligent voice alert system for sailors on pleasure sailing boats. The device consolidates AIS collision avoidance, automatic Man Over Board detection, anchor watch, crew watch management and boat-systems monitoring into a single unit that speaks more than 500 contextual alerts in five languages — telling the crew what is happening and what action to take. Priced at €950 ex-VAT with no subscription, Galvanic Voice delivers in Q4 2026.

Galvanic Voice, feature overview

Example alerts spoken by the system:

“Warning: wind speed has exceeded 30 kt. Action required.”

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

Key features

  • AIS collision intelligence — closing vessels announced with bearing, distance and time to collision.
  • Automatic Man Over Board detection — ten-second detection using the included Galvanic Pulse bracelets, no button to press, with relative bearing and distance spoken aloud.
  • Zero-config anchor watch — auto-detects when the boat is at anchor.
  • Crew watch management — sleep-aware schedules and fatigue-sensitive check-ins.
  • Boat systems monitoring — battery, bilge, depth and autopilot voiced when they matter.
  • Five languages at launch — English, Spanish, French, Italian, German.

Availability

Galvanic Voice is available to pre-order now at galvanicworks.com/galvanic-voice. Each order placed during the launch window includes six Galvanic Pulse crew bracelets at no additional cost — two as standard plus four during pre-order.
