Navigation

Boat Watch Pro

View available AIS vessel information on a map, follow favorite boats and receive selected arrival or departure alerts.

Our take

Choose for an additional ship-interest reference.

Search and an AR-style view connect nearby observations with available vessel reports.

Keep in mind: The developer states not for navigation; AIS coverage, reporting delay and camera alignment can limit accuracy.

What you can do

  • Vessel map, details and history
  • Favorites and Watch alerts
  • AR view and optional chart layers

Good for

  • People casually following public vessel movements.

Consider alternatives for

  • People relying on the app for collision avoidance or precise navigation.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • The developer states not for navigation; AIS coverage, reporting delay and camera alignment can limit accuracy.

Privacy & permissions

Favorites and optional GPS reveal interests and location; shared vessel data should respect privacy and lawful use.
