*** 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. *** SaltWake.ai is the ultimate tactical first mate for offshore captains, tournament anglers, and marine enthusiasts. Designed to integrate directly with your vessel's hardware and community intelligence, SaltWake.ai combines advanced satellite data, real-time telemetry, and artificial intelligence to make your time on the water safer, smarter, and more productive. Whether you're tracking pelagic fish, monitoring engine performance, or planning your next multi-day offshore adventure, Saltwake.ai provides the tools you need. KEY FEATURES: 1. FIRST MATE: AI-POWERED MARINE CO-PILOT • Get instant answers to complex weather, location, and fishing questions. • Interactive safety assessments provide clear "Go/No-Go" indication, highlighting potential hazards, rough seas, and wind conditions. • Log GPS coordinates and extract fishing insights automatically through conversational AI. 2. SATELLITE INTEL & TACTICAL OVERLAYS • Track pelagic species with high-resolution satellite charts. • Real-time overlays for Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Chlorophyll (water clarity), Altimetry (ocean height/eddies), currents, and target Strike Zones. • Easily identify temperature breaks and current fronts where active fish feed. 3. TACTICAL NAVIGATION & NOAA CHARTS • Navigate confidently with NOAA detailed charts, and customizable marine layers. • Real-time vessel location tracking and interactive map tools designed for high visibility on the water. 4. LIVE VESSEL DASHBOARD & NMEA 2000 INTEGRATION • Connect directly to your boat's hardware to monitor critical vessel metrics in real-time. • Track engine health, fuel rates, battery voltage, temperature, bilge pump status, and environment sensors. • Monitor onboard media players (e.g., Fusion Link) directly from your tactical console. 5. HARDWARE-ENABLED AIS TARGET SHARING • View real-time positions of nearby vessels. • Opt-in to share AIS transponder targets received by your onboard hardware with the SaltWake.ai community to improve collective marine safety and awareness. 6. INTERACTIVE LOGBOOK & CATCH TRACKER • Build a comprehensive digital history of your offshore trips. • Record catch locations, fish species, weights, photos, weather conditions, and the gear used. • Keep detailed vessel loggings and link catches directly to specific NMEA telemetry logs. • Backfill your log with batch photo import. We'll map out your past trips, and capture the historical weather conditions for each location-enabled photo you provide.
