Swiss Ocean Tech logo

AnchorGuardian is a Swiss Ocean Tech brand. Our mission is to ensure that no matter the size of a vessel – whether it be a leisure boat, merchant ship, fishing vessel or superyacht – all information needed whilst anchoring is available to ensure safety for sailor, ship and sea.

MEET THE TEAM

AnchorGuardian was developed by a group of like-minded professionals who are passionate about contributing to the safety of all those at sea.

Our expertise in sailing, navigation, electrical engineering, mechatronics and communication both above and below the water surface allows us to design a solution that meets the most demanding needs.

OUR VALUES

Celebrate the individual

We celebrate and support the
uniqueness of every individual. We
recognize the strength it brings to
our company. We check our
biases, we are open to change, we
accept differences, but we remain
focused on a common goal.

Take safety seriously

We take safety seriously,
integrating this mindset into all
aspects of our work. We believe
an anchored boat should never
bring harm to man or marine life.

Trust & respect

We respect the basics of common
decency. We trust each other and
exemplify this behavior in all we
do and with everyone we interact
– without exception.

Embrace the crew

We embrace “us” as a whole,
forging a strong foundation for
Swiss Ocean Tech. We listen, we
rely on one another but most
importantly, we fail and succeed
together, as a crew.

Honor the oceans

We recognize our responsibility to
honor and protect the oceans in all
we do. We are tied to the oceans
and their health ensures our health.

Be smart, not complex

We provide smart solutions to
complex problems.

Believe there is a way, 
then find it

We believe there is always a way:
thinking out of the box, taking
initiative, learning from mistakes
and exploring uncharted waters.

Take value beyond the horizon

Our success is measured by the
value we create for the user and
by the level of satisfaction we
bring to all those who interact
with us.
