Live, not a snapshot

Every dot is a real ship broadcasting on the AIS network right now. The map refreshes through the day, so what you see is the sea as it actually is, not a saved picture.

Read any vessel

Click a ship for its type, flag, length, position, speed, course, destination and ETA. Green is underway, grey is stopped. Filter to yachts to cut through the cargo and tankers.

Why it matters

Knowing who is where turns the network real: a captain inbound to Nassau can see who is already on the hook and raise them for fuel prices, dock state and weather actually observed, not forecast.

Track smarter with the network

Members get saved fleets, port arrival alerts, and the captain intel behind the dots: who runs which boat, dock state, and what the weather is actually doing where they are.
