Krobi Lab

Founded in Auckland by Aaron Vinod John, Krobi Lab is a New Zealand marine technology company developing onboard artificial intelligence systems designed for the next generation of boating and maritime operations. The company’s flagship platform connects directly to a vessel’s onboard systems and NMEA network, allowing crews to interact with their boat through a real-time AI assistant capable of delivering navigation support, diagnostics, operational insights, and offshore assistance — including in low or no internet environments. Krobi Lab is focused on reducing complexity at sea while advancing safer, smarter, and more connected marine experiences across recreational boating, charter vessels, superyachts, and commercial maritime industries.
