Know before you go. AI-powered marine weather and fishing reports. Plus GPS tracking and ocean maps — SST, CHL, bathymetry, thermocline, currents, eddies, thermal fronts. SeaLegs AI is built for boaters, sailors, cruisers, and anglers who want a sharper forecast than a generic weather app and a clearer plan than a stack of satellite tabs. One app, four tools. — WHO IT'S FOR — Day-trippers, sandbar regulars, and weekend cruisers picking beach days, harbor hops, ICW legs, and marina-to-marina runs with family aboard. Sailors on coastal passages, overnight hops, gunkholing, and bluewater crossings — reading wind, swell, and the windows between systems. Offshore anglers trolling, jigging, chunking, bottom fishing, kite fishing, and daytime swordfishing the canyons, ledges, and thermal breaks. Power boats, sailboats, catamarans, sport fishers, yachts, and trawlers. — MARINE WEATHER — AI-powered marine forecasts for your route and departure — a beach day, a coastal passage, or a run offshore. We aggregate ECMWF, GFS, and ICON — three of the top global weather models — then translate thousands of wind, wave, swell, and gust data points into one plain-English read. — FISHING REPORTS — AI fishing forecasts for a chosen area and date. Reads sea surface temperature, chlorophyll, currents, and bathymetry — the same data offshore pros pay subscriptions to interpret — then highlights the top spots with a plain-English write-up on why they're fishing now. Fishing Reports are available in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, the northern coast of South America, Brazil, the Mediterranean, the Arabian Sea, Australia, and New Zealand. Coverage expanding. — GPS TRACKER — Real-time tracking with condition alerts, inshore or offshore — a beach run, a coastal hop, a troll offshore. SeaLegs watches for weather changes that could affect your run home. Push notifications when a shift matters — silent when it doesn't. — OCEAN MAPS — Live ocean-data map layers: sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll (CHL), bathymetry, thermocline, ocean currents, eddies, and thermal fronts. Read the water the way a captain does — temperature breaks, color edges, depth contours, the layer fish hold under, the current seams that carry bait, eddies that pile bait against themselves, and the sharp thermal fronts that concentrate life along their edges. Ocean Maps cover the same regions as Fishing Reports — coverage expanding. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. Plan. Drop a pin on your destination, pick a departure time, and tell us about your boat. 2. Analyze. The AI reads weather and ocean data for your specific route and area — not a regional average. 3. Decide. Get a simple Go / Caution / Avoid recommendation, with hourly detail and alternate timing if today is marginal. 4. Share. Send any forecast or fishing report to your crew as a link. They can open it in the app or a browser, and it updates when you refresh it. — WHY SEALEGS AI — No subscription traps. Marine weather, GPS tracking, and ocean maps are free to use where available. Fishing Reports are pay-per-report — pay when you need one, skip when you don't. Built by boaters. Tested offshore. Updated every release with the features captains ask for. Get your SeaLegs before you go. NOTE: SeaLegs AI is for marine weather forecasting over the open ocean. It is not to be used for navigational purposes.
