Abstract: The present invention discloses an obstacle detection and safety system (100) for a small watercraft (200). The system (100) comprises a rotary actuator (102) mounted on the watercraft (200), an ultrasonic sensing unit (101) mounted on the rotary actuator (102) and angularly displaced through a predefined angular range to scan a plurality of directions, a display unit (104), an audible alert unit (105), and a processing unit (103) operatively coupled thereto. At each scanning position, the ultrasonic sensing unit (101) transmits an ultrasonic signal and receives a reflected ultrasonic signal, and the processing unit (103) determines an obstacle distance, displays the obstacle distance, compares the obstacle distance with a predefined threshold, and activates the audible alert unit (105) upon the obstacle distance being within the predefined threshold, the scanning being repeated continuously during operation.
