Designed specifically for boating, it was officially launched yesterday at the Sydney International Boat Show.

The BOAT01 is powered by Shark Shield® Technology, nabbed as "the world's only scientifically proven and independently tested shark deterrent technology".

Ocean Guardian CEO, Lindsay Lyon, said with the new technology "boat owners and their guests can have the confidence to enjoy the ocean anytime, anywhere".

"With multiple BOAT01's you can create a 'virtual net' which provides a large, powerful protective swimming area," Mr Lyon said.

"Imagine swimming off the back of your boat with the family knowing that everyone is protected by proven shark deterrent technology.
