Apps for the Recreational Boater

If you enjoy traveling on cruise ships or you’re a recreational boater, several useful apps can help you plot your course and stay informed about weather conditions.

Savvy Navvy offers everything from GPS tracking to weather charts and tidal information. Think of it as Google Maps for boaters and cruisers.

Another option is Windfinder Pro, which gathers data from weather buoys around the world and provides a ten-day forecast for any desired location.

And there’s Fishing Booker, an app that can help you find great fishing charter boats almost anywhere.
