About
Founded in 2014, Beyond the Sea is a private headquartered in Bassin d'Arcachon, France specializing in Wind.
Beyond the Sea designs and manufactures automated kite traction systems for maritime vessels. Founded by renowned sailor and engineer Yves Parlier, the company addresses maritime decarbonization through wind-powered propulsion. The SeaKite is a fully automated system for commercial shipping (tankers, container ships, fishing vessels) with kite wings from 50-200 m². The LibertyKite serves pleasure boats and artisanal fishing with simple or launch-system configurations. The SeaKite catamaran, a zero-emission autonomous demonstrator, showcases the technology. Systems achieve approximately 20% fuel savings and proportional CO2 emission reductions while maintaining operational flexibility as backup propulsion.
