Boater Briefer turns NOAA marine weather, tide predictions, and saltwater fishing data into a single daily briefing — built specifically for recreational boaters and coastal anglers. WHY BOATER BRIEFER • Narrated audio briefings — listen to today's conditions while you rig up. Captain's Call summarizes wind, sea state, tides, and visibility in one short, hands-free read. • Tides done right — 24-hour curve, hi/lo times, monthly calendar, and live countdown to the next change. Subordinate stations supported. • Marine-grade weather — wind, waves, sea state, water temperature, marine alerts, and multi-day NWS forecasts. Plain language, not raw codes. • Offline-first — last-known briefing and tide data work when you're out of signal. The app re-syncs when you're back ashore. • Saltwater fishing — species regs by state, fishing windows scored by tide, sun, moon, and barometric pressure. Photos for ID. Closed seasons hidden automatically. • Marine charts — NOAA ENC overlay on a MapLibre vector basemap. Pinch, zoom, and explore harbors, channels, and waypoints. • Multi-location carousel — your GPS plus saved waypoints, swipe between them like Apple Weather. • Thousands of locations — Every U.S. coastal state is in, plus the Gulf and Pacific islands — wherever NOAA runs a tide station and the NWS issues a marine forecast. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY • No ads. No tracking. No accounts. • Location is used only to fetch your briefing and never linked to an identity. • Crash and performance data are anonymized and can be turned off in Settings. PERFECT FOR • Day cruisers, sailors, and yacht owners • Saltwater anglers (striper, bluefish, fluke, tuna, and more) • Harbormasters and dock crews who want a quick read on conditions • Anyone planning a coastal trip, kayak run, or fishing window GETTING STARTED Open the app and grant location once — your briefing loads in seconds.
