## What is Boat Buddies?

Sail together, even when you're miles apart.

Boat Buddies turns your iPhone into a live map of your boating crew. See where your friends are, what they're doing, and what they're listening to — and let them watch your back when you set off across the harbor.


SEE YOUR FLEET LIVE
• Friends' boats appear on a real-time map, updated as they move
• Tap any boat to see captain, status, speed, heading, and now-playing music
• Add friends in seconds with a 6-character Crew ID or QR scan


SAFETY-FIRST FEATURES
• File a Float Plan with destination, ETA, and a designated watcher
• Your watcher gets an alert if you don't check in safely
• Real-time marine weather: wind, waves, temperature, sea state
• Live speed and heading display at the top of the map


RAFT UP TOGETHER
• Plan a raft-up by tapping a spot on the map
• Invite friends from your fleet with one tap
• See everyone gathering in one place


FIND YOUR WAY
• Optional OpenSeaMap nautical chart overlay with buoys, lights, and harbors
• Tap marinas and fuel docks for directions in Apple Maps
• Live navigation status: Underway, Anchored, or Docked


SHARE THE VIBE
• Connect Spotify to show your fleet what's playing on your boat
• See your friends' tracks in real time


PRIVACY-FIRST
• Your location is only shared with friends you explicitly add
• No ads, no tracking, no selling your data
• Free to use

Whether you're sailing the Newport coast, fishing the Great Lakes, or anchored at a hidden cove, Boat Buddies keeps your crew connected and your shore contact informed.

Fair winds.
