### 5/5 — Life changing app!!

*2025-04-22, version 1.0.2*

Everything you need to plan a day out on the water is in here! The app is super easy to use and takes all the stress out of having to jump between different sites or apps just to get the info you need. Weather, tides, routes—it’s all in one place. It’s a total game changer for planning a boating day!

### 5/5 — One stop shop for planning your boat days!

*2025-04-11, version 1.0.1*

Finally a boating app with all you need in one spot! This app is the one stop shop for all you need to plan your boat days. Weather, tides, wind, offshore conditions, community reports, etc. It also breaks down the calculations for a high risk/medium risk/low risk conditions, which makes it very digestible and easier to understand than the other apps so you can feel more confident with planning your routes for the day. PLUS a fun social aspect where you can connect with other boaters in the northshore/seacoast area. Local events, boat day tracking, expense tracking. This is THE app. Won’t be going on the boat without utilizing this tool.

### 5/5 — Best Boating App on the Market!

*2025-04-11, version 1.0.1*

I have been waiting for a simple to use boating app with clean UI. Much of what is out there is outdated and feels clunky to users like myself who just need quick and easy access to tide, wind, and overall ocean condition data. This app does that and much more, I will be recommending to my fellow boaters in the North Shore area!

### 5/5 — Best local boating app!

*2025-04-10, version 1.0.1*

This is the best boating app! All the information is right at your fingertips. The Merrimack River can be pretty challenging, but with the MRB Navigator app, you have tides, weather, sea state, winds, and local information to help keep you safe. Besides that, there is helpful info on bridges, marinas, and even regular VHF channels to be aware of. The community reports and discussions help keep real-time info relevant.

### 5/5 — Every boater needs this app

*2025-04-09, version 1.0.1*

North Shore boaters NEED this app. This is the new google for north shore boaters…It’s a mix between a tides app, weather app, Snapchat maps, Instagram stories, and even quickbooks for boating expenses. Can’t wait to track my boat days throughout the year and easily be able to track down my friends on their boat.  🤙⚓️

### 5/5 — THE golden manual for the North Shore/Seacoast boaters !

*2025-04-09, version 1.0.1*

This app is THE golden manual for all of the North Shore and Seacoast boaters! Your Helm section includes every thing you need to know and want to check on before planning your day out on the water (tide, wind, offshore conditions etc). The events tab has a list of local events happening and coming up this summer season! And then the resource tab has categories perfectly organized with all your local resources (marinas/ramps, emergency services, boat friendly beaches/sandbars and even the best local restaurants. As a marine industry business owner this has become a daily tool for me!
