About

Yachting operations still rely on manual logbooks and fragmented data. For vessels moving between EU and non-EU waters the consequence is concrete: tax treatment depends on where a voyage began and where the vessel actually was, yet that position history is reconstructed manually, after the fact, with no verifiable evidence behind it. As enforcement tightens, operators face assessments they cannot defend.

Solution & Product

AISEAU automates VAT and route compliance for yacht fleets. It reconstructs each voyage from verified position data, applies the regulatory logic that determines treatment, and produces an auditable record. MVP scope: - Voyage recording — automated capture of vessel position and voyage history - Regulatory classification — applicable treatment per voyage segment - Compliance output — auditable reporting for owners, operators and their accountants - Delivered as a per-vessel subscription. Software-only, no onboard hardware required. The platform uses verified maritime data sources to automate compliance workflows and reporting — helping users ensure alignment with EU and national regulations.

Innovation & Scalability

- Regulatory logic translated into machine-applicable rules - Verified position data with provenance, failing safe to review rather than guessing - Digital audit trail built to withstand tax authority scrutiny Scalability Phase 1 — bareboat fleets in Greece: prove the calculation matches what accountants produce manually. Phase 2 — other EU charter markets under the same regulatory logic. Phase 3 — adjacent compliance and operational modules.
