Tired of arriving on a beach to realize that it is full of jellyfish? Impossible to swim, in short a spoiled moment! With Meduseo, the jellyfish weather, find out in real time about the presence of jellyfish on the beaches. You only have to enter the name of the city to access the information. The data is presented in the form of bubbles on the map going from yellow to red: - No color: no jellyfish reported - Yellow: Rare jellyfish (you may come across one isolated, no risk for swimming) - Orange: Some jellyfish (swimming may be possible, but be careful) - Red: Many jellyfish (we do not recommend swimming) The base is updated every 4 hours for France, Spain, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. Meduseo uses a unique algorithm, specifically developed for this theme making data available in summer but also throughout the year! You can also report the presence of jellyfish on beaches directly from the application and thus share your observations with the community.

Seander helps you decide where to anchor and when to go, with a clear read of marine weather tailored to each anchorage — not just a generic forecast for the area. Check marine forecasts, explore Mediterranean anchorages, save your spots, and get a quick interpretation so you can sail with more judgement and confidence. What you can do with Seander: • View wind, swell and the day’s evolution, with a full forecast expandable from Home. • See each anchorage’s status (comfortable, fair or rough) based on wind, sea state and shelter protection. • Explore anchorages and harbours on the map, with detail sheets, comfort timeline and shelter rose. • Ask Seander Advisor in plain language: should I stay here?, where should I anchor?, how’s the weather evolving? • Save favourite locations and see top picks nearby when conditions allow. • Use the app in light or dark mode, built for daytime checks and night watches on board. Seander is built for skippers, crews and sailing enthusiasts who want useful, direct, actionable information — less noise, more judgement before you leave.
