From theft victim to innovator

After just 23 days on the water, the new boat vanished without a trace. Rather than dwell on the loss, Tony poured his efforts into building what would become SeaSight.

The story behind SeaSight

When businessman and lifelong boating enthusiast Tony Cantrill first launched his Ribeye A683 into the waters of Cornish harbour St Mawes in July 2024, he never would have imagined it would disappear just 23 days later.

A short-lived lifelong dream

Since the age of twenty, Tony had been putting aside money into his personal pension. When the chance came to access part of his tax-free allowance, he saw the perfect opportunity. He purchased a Ribeye A683 and named it Lunacy — a nod to many of his friends and family who thought buying the boat was exactly that: pure madness.

But his dream was short-lived. After just 23 days on the water, Lunacy vanished without a trace.

Rather than dwell on the loss, Tony poured his efforts into building what would become SeaSight — the product he wished he'd had that night.
