Ship Finder

Ship Finder maps available AIS vessel feeds with search, filters and optional AR identification.

Our take

Consider only for maritime observation

Ship details and saved ports support recurring interest.

Keep in mind: Explicitly not for navigation; feeds can be delayed, incomplete or wrong and not every vessel transmits. Faster-than-radar wording does not establish safe collision avoidance.

What you can do

  • Browse eligible vessel tracks
  • Filter/search and save ships/locations
  • View supported details or AR overlays

Good for

  • Enthusiasts cross-checking vessel information

Consider alternatives for

  • Users relying on it for actual navigation

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 9.3.
  • Explicitly not for navigation; feeds can be delayed, incomplete or wrong and not every vessel transmits. Faster-than-radar wording does not establish safe collision avoidance.

Privacy & permissions

Camera/location and saved vessel interests may be sensitive; review permissions.
