Our Story

Khaia was born from a simple observation: despite the yachting industry's sophistication, the connection between vessels and shore-based services remained frustratingly fragmented. Our founding team, combining decades of maritime expertise with cutting-edge AI technology development, recognized that yacht owners, captains and crew were spending valuable time coordinating services that should happen seamlessly.

The idea crystallized as our team brought together diverse perspectives - from those with nearly 20 years navigating the complexities of the yachting sector to those with three decades building AI-powered solutions for complex industries. Together, we recognized that the same intelligent systems transforming other sectors could revolutionize how yachts interact with marinas, suppliers and coastal communities.

What started as a vision to simplify marina bookings evolved into something far more ambitious: an intelligent ecosystem that bridges sea and shore, making every aspect of the yachting journey - from eco-optimized routing to instant shore services - feel effortless and inevitable.

This expertise spans marina operations, crew management, regulatory compliance and the intricate network of suppliers and services that keep yachts operational.

Adrian Moga CEO

The mind behind the idea of creating an AI concierge for yacht tourism. The vision was simple: to blend the freedom of the sea with the intelligence of technology. I wanted to make luxury travel feel effortless, human, and deeply personalized. That idea became Khaia.ai, a voice concierge that redefines comfort and connection on the water.

Marius Boitor CTO

I founded Khaia because after 30 years building AI solutions for every industry imaginable, I saw the maritime world still operating like it's 1990. From my work with Fortune 500s to award-winning ML platforms, I've learned that the best technology disappears into the background. That's what Khaia does - it makes the complex dance between yachts, marinas, and services feel like it was always this simple.

Why We're Different

Khaia exists because we believe the future of yachting isn't just about better boats - it's about smarter journeys. Our unique position comes from understanding both worlds intimately. We know what it takes to build AI systems that scale globally because we've done it. We know what yacht crews actually need at 2 AM in an unfamiliar port because we've been there.

This isn't about imposing technology on an industry that doesn't need it. It's about applying sophisticated intelligence to solve genuine problems: reducing fuel consumption through eco-optimized routing, eliminating the friction of coordinating shore services, creating seamless connections between maritime and land-based economies. We're building the infrastructure for sustainable maritime mobility, aligned with the EU Green Deal and Blue Economy Strategy.

Our Values

Precision Over Promises

We deliver what works, not what sounds impressive. Every feature is tested against real maritime scenarios before release.

Sustainability as Standard

Environmental responsibility isn't an add-on - it's core to every route we plan, every optimization we make, every partnership we form.

Trust Through Transparency

In an industry where relationships matter, we build trust by being clear about our capabilities, our partnerships and our commitment to the yachting community's success.

We're not just building another maritime app. We're creating the intelligent infrastructure that will define how the yachting world operates for the next generation. Whether you're a yacht owner seeking effortless journeys, a marina looking to connect with premium clients or an investor who sees the potential in bridging sea and shore, we invite you to be part of this transformation.
