Origins
Forged in offshore powerboat racing, where performance is proven under pressure. Rapid iteration, endurance, and reliability shape how Kraken engineers modern maritime systems.
Racing DNA
Vector Racing was a world‑championship offshore powerboat team, led by Kraken CEO Mal Crease.
Operating at the limit - high speed, open water, no margin for error - it developed an engineering team shaped by competition, pressure, and real consequence.
That team now forms the foundation of Kraken engineering.
Racing Pedigree
- Multiple UIM World Championship titles
- 20+ UIM World Records (speed and endurance)
- 6× K7 class holders (world record speeds over 100 mph)
- Over 10 years operating as an offshore racing team
Proven Team
The team behind Kraken was forged in world‑championship offshore racing - operating at the limits of speed, endurance, and control.
Experience gained under pressure shaped how problems are solved: faster decisions, tighter engineering, and systems built to perform when conditions deteriorate.
That same team now delivers Kraken’s platforms - bringing proven capability into real-world maritime operations.
