Boat Beacon

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.

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!

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!
