Description
Boat Beacon is an internet AIS receiver and transmitter for your iPhone and iPad. It is the only AIS ship tracking app to provide Collision Warnings, share your boat’s position & use real-time AIS data.
Connected to the largest network of AIS shore receivers world-wide covering most major ports, harbours and popular coastal areas.
“An outstanding app, with great potential. Both interesting to use and very user friendly. This could be a life saver and especially of interest to small boat users. Everyone who goes on the water should have this on and use it!” ***** Sun Dream, App Store Review
Boat Beacon is specifically designed for boaters & provides continuous Bearing, Range & Closest Point of Approach (CPA) calculations and alarms in addition to standard AIS information even when in the background.

Reviews
Boat Beacon
Superb customer service
I contacted the supplier with a problem. Response was within a day. Problem was fixed!!!!
Alarme
Pas de menu pour régler l’alarme sonore en version iPad... Menu existant sur la version Androïde...
From 5 stars to 1
This app used be great but now there are all these phantom ships that never disappear. The app is completely useless theres no way to know what vessels are in real time and what are days old. Bummer
Excellent
A great APP. Very reliable. Works very well on iPad and iPhone. Wonderful customer service. Questions are answered the same day. Highly recommend.
Sketchy!
When I first purchased this app, it included charts. The charts were later removed and the company wants to sell the NOAA charts to me again for me to have access. I emailed them to ask if it was a mistake and they didn’t respond. I don’t trust these guys and there are plenty of other good apps available.
No boats showing up
Purchased this app but AIS or Boat Beacon boats not showing up. Very dissapointed and not worth the money
