    About Us

    At Saildrone, we sustainably explore, map, and monitor the oceans to understand, protect, and preserve our world.

    We provide real-time access to critical data from any ocean on earth, 24/7/365, and use proprietary software applications to transform that data into actionable insights and intelligence.

    Our fleet of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), powered by renewable wind and solar power, have a minimal carbon footprint and operate without the need for a crewed support vessel.

    Saildrone works with governments, civil agencies, foundations, universities, and private companies around the globe to drive better information about our oceans and seas—from sailing into the eye of a category 4 hurricane to obtain new data about how storms intensify, collecting new CO2 data in hard-to-reach areas, and counting fish biomass to inform sustainable fishery management, to mapping the ocean floor and reducing illegal fishing and drug trafficking.

    As a result of our work, Saildrone has been included on Fast Company's annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies, earned an Ocean Awards' Innovation Award, won Best Tech For Good from the Timmy Awards, and was recognized by Andreessen Horowitz's American Dynamism 50 list of the Top 50 Companies Kickstarting American Renewal.

    Our first-annual Atlantic hurricane mission with NOAA was included as one of The New York Times' 21 Things That Happened for the First Time in 2021 and Popular Science's 100 Greatest Innovations of 2021.

    We are based in Alameda, CA, with offices in Washington DC and St. Petersburg, FL, and operate our missions worldwide.
