Proteus is Tocaro Blue’s pioneering AI-powered marine navigation tool, leading the way in transforming how boaters interact with chart plotters. Traditional systems complicate the visualization of RADAR data, but Proteus simplifies this with an intuitive 3D display that renders RADAR returns as real objects, enhancing situational awareness. This innovative approach allows boaters to monitor changing sea floor depths continuously, increasing confidence, safety, and the spirit of adventure at the helm.
Proteus marks a significant breakthrough in user interface design for the marine industry, comparable to the shift from Blackberry to iPhone in 2007. It presents complex information in a straightforward manner, ensuring boaters have the essential information when they need it most.
Tocaro Blue was founded by serial entrepreneurs and lifelong sailing enthusiasts, Tom and Carol Patterson. They established Tocaro to integrate cutting-edge technologies into next-generation products that boost boaters’ confidence and safety on the water.
Tom Patterson, an engineer with firsthand experience of the challenges posed by conventional marine electronics during his Atlantic crossing, envisioned displays that could literally be lifesavers. His vision gained further depth with the addition of a retired Navy SEAL Captain. Tom’s vision and leadership has propelled Tocaro Blue to develop groundbreaking tools that make navigation more intuitive and safer, embodying the company’s commitment to enhancing the boating experience.
