FarSounder
FarSounder designs sonar systems dedicated to keeping passengers and their yachts safe. Established in 2001, the company formed around the conviction that navigating the water should be supported by a simple, reliable tool to identify safe paths.
The team remains driven by a philosophy that views a yacht as more than a means of transport; it is a gateway to passion, new discoveries, and shared exploration. Because of this commitment to adventure, the company invests heavily in technology that helps owners travel confidently, no matter the destination.
FarSounder stands as a globally recognized expert in 3D Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) technology. By lowering the risk of collisions and underwater security threats, these sonar systems help protect property, the natural environment, and the people on board. Beyond navigation and obstacle avoidance, the company applies its expertise to:
- Shipboard and portside security
- Marine mammal protection
- Fisheries and ocean sustainability
- Real-time surveying
The flagship Argos Navigation Sonar series represents the only solution on the market capable of generating a true, 3-dimensional image ahead of a yacht in real-time. These systems remain reliable at ranges up to 1000 meters and speeds reaching 25 knots, ensuring owners and captains can navigate with certainty. The software integrates seamlessly into a wide variety of existing bridge systems.
