Description

Boat Beacon is an internet AIS receiver and transmitter for your iPhone and iPad. It is the only AIS ship tracking app to provide Collision Warnings, share your boat’s position & use real-time AIS data.

Connected to the largest network of AIS shore receivers world-wide covering most major ports, harbours and popular coastal areas.

“An outstanding app, with great potential. Both interesting to use and very user friendly. This could be a life saver and especially of interest to small boat users. Everyone who goes on the water should have this on and use it!” ***** Sun Dream, App Store Review

Boat Beacon is specifically designed for boaters & provides continuous Bearing, Range & Closest Point of Approach (CPA) calculations and alarms in addition to standard AIS information even when in the background.

Boat Beacon does not require any external AIS transponder or receiver equipment.

Key Features
------------
Over-the-horizon collision avoidance (30 miles radius) using continuous CPA calculations - highlights boats that are on a potential collision course and alerts you with an alarm.

Continually transmits and receives position information via the internet and calculates and alarms CPA even when the app is in the background.

Shares your position with Internet AIS Systems and apps and other Boat Beacon users in real time.

Real time ship map view with North up and Heading up modes so you can look in the direction of the ships on the map to locate them.

Nav display showing own boat's speed, course, heading and position.

Man Overboard tracking, SART Alarm, Anchor watch and Theft alarms.

Apple Watch App included

Siri voice commands

Export tracks

Your position can be shared and seen on all our apps without using an MMSI number. To be seen on Global AIS systems like MarineTraffic you need an MMSI number. In the US you can obtain one by visiting http://www.boatus.com/mmsi or email us for a free internet MMSI number.

Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

NOT FOR NAVIGATION
Boat Beacon should only be used for basic navigation reference and should not be solely relied upon to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction. You will not be visible to other ships on VHF only AIS systems.

Loaded this app since the boat I am on doesn’t have a functioning AIS, and we are doing a night sail in Florida waters and was concerned about safe. It help with a near mis of a pleasure craft heading our way. Works great as long as you have cell service!!!!

Maybe a next enhancement for the developers, a way to be functional when cell is not available.

For costal it is a good lower cost option than a full transceiver AIS.
Techno Fisherman,
Boat Beacon
I am a commercial fisherman in California an have 40’ state of the art fiberglass troller/crabber. I have 10s of thousands of dollars of navigation equipment onboard - I pretty much use none of it - Boat Beacon pretty much makes all that stuff obsolete for an obscenely low price. I can see where the competition is fishing complete with their track lines any where any time. Customer service is outstanding - email them and they get right back to you. Boat Beacon simply is the best!
Lynn Chesapeake Bay,
Great app!
We use Boat Beacon all the time to track boat traffic on the Chesapeake Bay, even for our our boat sometimes! The visuals are easy to read and the site easy to navigate. It’s wonderful being able to easily see where other boats are on the water. Also, customer service was terrific....quick response and appropriate and easy fix the one time I ever had an issue. Highly recommended!
Gactraveler,
Great app and customer service
Been using this app for a while and it’s great for route planning and a back up chart plotter. Had an issue with the AIS transponder and the guys worked with me until the problem was resolved. Great value for the money and the addition of windy weather integration is pretty nice as well.
Tfox2069,
Fantastic
LOVE this app. I use it while sailing so friends and family can track my activity. We also used it on a circumnavigation to track our fleet. So easy to use and very stable and reliable. Can’t recommend it enough.
FTRV'ers,
Doesn’t show ships “out of the box”
Got the app. Set up my boat info while sitting in an anchorage with two boats with AIS on. We do have AIS on our boat but we don’t see the names of boats with newer AIS boxes. Neither boat have this app but they do have AIS. And neither boat showed up. Have yet to see ANY boats show up on the app. And, yes, I have good wifi. Also, I upgraded (obviously too soon) to “live view” on my iPad but the app on my iPhone is asking me to pay for it again. I’ve contacted the company. I’ll update the review when/if I hear from them.
Tlf50,
Love this app
I am always looking for freighters throwing huge wakes but now that I have boat beacon I have great visibility and information of them. Very happy for this app!
Swiftotter25,
Have to pay for AIS share
Paid for app to use AIS Share functionality with Navionics. After installing, was disappointed to discover AIS Share required a monthly/annual subscription. This was not clear in app info pre purchase. Also, not clear why a subscription would be needed to share data already available in app with Navionics. This was a big (only) selling point. Very disappointing.
Wasted$$$$,
Superb customer service
I contacted the supplier with a problem. Response was within a day. Problem was fixed!!!!
flyinbrian70,
Good App but crashes when I hit the location….
…it takes several tries before it comes back on. There is a bug with the app.
