Boater Briefer™ · Know before you go.
Tides, marine forecasts, active alerts, and a composite fishing-windows score for any U.S. harbor — synthesized into a single actionable brief. With audio that plays while you back the trailer down the ramp.
Built on official U.S. marine data
The whole trip plan on one screen.
Stop checking five websites before you leave the dock. One read on the dashboard covers weather, tides, and active alerts — synthesized for your spot, updated every time you open the app.
Never guess the next slack again. Live countdown to the next high and low, with 24-hour, weekly, and monthly curves — for every NOAA station on the U.S. coast.
Know before the small-craft advisory surprises you. NWS marine forecasts sit next to active advisories, gales, and special marine warnings — color-coded so you read them at a glance.
Stop second-guessing the rulebook at the ramp. State-by-state regulations, size and bag limits, seasonal closures, and a composite fishing-windows score — so you know when and what you can keep.
The boat-ramp parking lot doesn't need bars. Your last briefing, tide chart, and saved waypoints stay readable without signal — load it at home, read it at the dock.
No more re-entering your home port every morning. Save every spot you fish, cruise, or launch from. A swipe-through carousel puts each location one gesture away with its own live brief.
What's inside a briefing
Every briefing comes in both forms — skim the summary before you leave the dock, or tap play and listen while you rig the boat.
Expect a workable morning in Salem Harbor with south winds building from 8 to 15 kt by late morning and a chop to 2 ft outside Bakers Island. Low tide at 06:14 means limited water over Gray Rock until about 08:30 — stay east of the can. A small-craft advisory is posted from 11 AM through 6 PM; plan to be in by eleven. Fishing window is best on the incoming, 07:00–10:00.
How it works
Search a marine location by name, drop a waypoint on the map, or let GPS find you. Save the spots you use most — one carousel swipe from any briefing.
Tides, wind, seas, sun and moon, NWS alerts, and fishing windows — intelligently summarized. Listen to the audio briefing while you back the trailer down the ramp.
The last briefing stays on the screen even if signal drops. Updated planning information is a pull-to-refresh away once you’re back in range.
Designed for the boat
Every screen is tuned for a pitching deck and divided attention — dark-first, high-contrast, one-handed.
Plan
The dashboard answers the 'should I even go?' question in a glance — wind, sea state, next tide, and the day's safety rating.
Monitor
Live tide curves, NWS marine forecasts, and active advisories — the data boaters actually plan around, pulled from authoritative sources.
Fish
State-by-state regs, size and bag limits, and a composite fishing-windows score — so you pick the hours that'll actually fish.
FAQ
Yes — your last briefing, tide chart, and saved waypoints stay readable once the signal drops, so the boat-ramp parking lot is still the last place you check. Pulling a new briefing needs connectivity.
Every U.S. coastal state is in, plus the Gulf and Pacific islands — wherever NOAA runs a tide station and the NWS issues a marine forecast. Coverage tracks the official U.S. marine data network, so if the government charts it, the app supports it.
Briefings synthesize data straight from NOAA, the National Weather Service, and other authoritative sources — the same feeds the Coast Guard and commercial mariners use. Treat them as a planning aid alongside your own judgment and official nautical publications; read the Disclaimer for the full statement.
It’s the trip-planning half of your nav stack — it makes sure you leave the dock knowing what you’ll find out there. Keep your VHF, chartplotter, GPS, and paper charts in working order for on-water navigation; official NOAA publications remain authoritative.
