Panoblu Ultra
Every array in the housing, fitted: both spectrums, the sky as well as the sea, four terabytes on board, and a panoramic stills camera that photographs the vessel’s world from the one position nothing else can hold. Built to order, one vessel at a time.
The flagship, built for one vessel
Every array in the housing, fitted: thermal and visible light around the whole horizon, the upward lenses over the rig, four terabytes on board, and a twelve-sensor panoramic stills camera that photographs the vessel’s world at 128 megapixels. Each Ultra is specified with the yard for the vessel it is going on.
Nothing left out
Both spectrums, the sky as well as the sea, and every bearing recorded at the same time. Thermal infrared and visible light around the whole horizon, the upward lenses over mast and rig, and four terabytes of history in the unit itself. For the owner who wants the complete answer in one housing, this is it.
Imagery no other vessel can produce of itself
A twelve-sensor, 128-megapixel panoramic stills array, on the masthead, on the yacht’s own schedule. Anchorages, guests on deck, the sail plan, the light going — photographed from the one position no chase boat and no drone can hold.
Built for one vessel
Every Ultra is specified with the yard: the mast, the finish, the integration, the storage. Start the conversation early and Panoblu engineering joins it, so the specification and the build slot are agreed together.
Every array in the housing, filled
All Panoblu models share the same housing; what differs is which arrays are fitted. This is the diagram that shows what the flagship actually is — nothing dashed, nothing held back for later. A plan view from directly above, with the bow at the top.
- 2 Colour vision Full-colour daylight imagery in live 4K, port and starboard, overlapping into one panorama.
- 12 Photography The 128-megapixel panoramic stills array, fitted on this model alone.
- 8 Mid-range thermal The working band around the horizon: what is out there, in the dark, at distance.
- 4 Wide-angle thermal Close-in cover: down the hull sides, along the decks and around the tender.
- 4 Upward thermal Included on this model: the same wide lenses turned upward, over mast, rig, sails and the air above.
What the flagship carries
- Thermal infrared and visible light, around the whole horizon
- A twelve-sensor, 128-megapixel panoramic stills array
- The upward thermal lenses included, over mast and rig
- Four terabytes of storage in the masthead unit
What goes alongside it
An Ultra is agreed as a specification rather than picked off a shelf, and these are the parts that are agreed with it.

Agreed together
Specification and build slot
Bring us the vessel: the mast, the yard, the delivery date and what the owner wants the imagery for. Panoblu engineering joins the specification, and the build slot is agreed with it.

Step 2 · required
Installation kit
Chosen from the mast: a slimmer section, a wider section, or the dual install system for larger and twin-mast layouts. A survey settles which, and the survey is the best hour anyone spends on the project.
-
Step 3 · extends it
On-board server software
History beyond the camera’s own window, a second copy of the recordings, and several live viewers at once, on the vessel’s own server.
-
Step 4 · reach from shore
Cloud recordings
Selected recordings held ashore, so the owner and the management team can reach them from anywhere. Runs alongside the on-board server software.

Planning and commissioning
Panoblu engineering with the yard and the crew: installation planning, drawings, engineering works and commissioning, so the installation is designed before anyone lifts a tool.
What an Ultra project looks like
The flagship behaves like the rest of the range — it watches, it remembers, and people read it. What is different is how it is agreed.
It holds the whole horizon and the sky above it, continuously, in thermal infrared and visible light, and photographs the vessel’s world at 128 megapixels. People read the imagery and make the call.
Specification with Panoblu engineering and the yard, then the build slot, then the installation plan. Early conversations get the best slots, so it is worth raising while the refit or build is still on paper.
The installation kit the mast calls for, the on-board server software for history and backup beyond the four terabytes aboard, and the cloud service for reach from shore. A custom exterior colour is part of the catalogue too.

OpenQuoted per vessel, through partners
What this needs alongside it — the mounting kit, the installation days, the software — depends on your mast and your vessel. A Panoblu partner surveys it and quotes the components it actually needs. Tell us where you are, and we will introduce you to the right one.
