## What is Marinate?

Marinate is the chartplotter that works when nothing else does, no signal, no marina wifi, thirty miles offshore.

Download your cruising area before you slip the lines and the whole app keeps working: charts, routes, depth shading, reference tables. Nothing phones home mid-passage. No account, no sign-up. Open it and you are navigating.

WORLDWIDE CHARTS, NOT CHART PACKS
Every coast on earth is included. No region to buy, no chartbook to add, no upgrade when you cruise somewhere new: the Aegean this summer and the Caribbean next winter on the same subscription.
• Seamarks, buoys, lights, depth contours and soundings as vectors, sharp at any zoom
• A fraction of the storage image tiles need
• Download by area or along a route corridor

AN ANCHOR WATCH THAT ACTUALLY WAKES YOU
Set your anchor and a safety radius, and Marinate watches your position in the background, with the screen off and the phone in your bunk. If the boat drifts outside the circle it raises a continuous siren, not a single polite notification. We spent the most time on this, because a dragging anchor at 3 a.m. is when an app either earns its place or does not.

SAFETY, NOT UPSELL
Man overboard is one tap: a marker, the frozen position, and range and bearing back to it. MOB and the anchor drag alarm are free forever.

NEW TO CHART SYMBOLS?
Tap any buoy, beacon or light and Marinate says what it is in plain language: which side to leave it, which side to pass, what Fl.G.4s means.

DEPTH YOU CAN READ AT A GLANCE
• Global depth shading and contours: the blue gradient showing the bottom rise long before a sounding does, worldwide and offline
• Seabed relief shading for the shape of the ground beneath you
• Optional NOAA overlay in US waters, high-resolution survey depth in European seas

SATELLITE AND HYBRID
Satellite imagery of the whole planet, plus 10-metre coastal imagery for reading an anchorage before you commit: the sandy patch, the weed, the reef edge. Hybrid mode lays roads and place names over it.

ROUTES, TRACKS AND MARKERS
• Distance, bearing and ETA at your speed
• Record and replay tracks
• Markers for anchorages, hazards, dive sites and fishing marks, with photos
• GPX import and export to swap with any other chartplotter

MARINAS AND WHAT IS ASHORE
Search marinas and harbours by name or near you, details kept offline: berths, fuel, water, contact. Search around your anchorage too: fuel, chandlery, pharmacy, supermarket, bus stop, by walking distance.

A REFERENCE THAT KNOWS THE SEA
Collision regulations in plain language with diagrams, code flags A to Z, day shapes, night lights, sound signals, IALA buoyage, emergency card. All offline, in your language.

WEATHER, TRAFFIC AND FISHING
• Live rain radar, so you see a squall coming and reef before it arrives. Free, no account
• Wind forecast, pressure isobars, tides and currents
• Shipping lanes and restricted areas you can tap to see what is restricted and why
• AIS traffic (with a free aisstream.io key)
• SignalK connects the boat's instruments (depth, wind, speed) with a shallow-water alarm
• Sea-surface temperature and plankton layers: fish hunt the fronts and plankton edges, so look where the colour changes

FOUR LANGUAGES
English, Hebrew, French and Spanish, including the reference tables and the collision rules, not just the buttons.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Free forever: charts, GPS, routes, tracks, markers, MOB, anchor alarm, rain radar and one offline area.
Premium adds depth shading and contours, satellite and official chart overlays, wind and pressure, sea temperature and plankton, AIS, SignalK, unlimited offline downloads and the extended forecast.
14-day free trial, with special launch pricing, cancel any time.

IMPORTANT 
Marinate is an aid to navigation, not a replacement for official charts, a proper lookout, or your own judgement. Carry the charts your flag state requires. Continued use of GPS in the background can decrease battery life.
