*** IMPORTANT NAVIGATION & AI SAFETY WARNING ***
Saltwake.ai is a planning and informational tool. It is NOT intended for primary navigation.
• Not for Navigation: All charts, maps, satellite views, and weather overlays are for reference and planning only. Do not rely on them as your sole navigation source.
• AI & Forecasting Limitations: Platform AI features (including the First Mate assistant and wave comfort indexes) can make errors. Always cross-reference with official NOAA, Coast Guard, and local maritime authority reports.
• Captain's Duty: Safe vessel operation is the captain's sole responsibility. Using this app requires you to assume all boating liability.
