Plan with chart information.

Explore NOAA nautical charts with Premium to review charted depths, hazards and navigation aids. Check current charts, local conditions and your vessel's requirements before choosing a route. Chart information does not guarantee safe passage, and the app should not be your sole navigation aid.

Weather and tides, in one place.

Explore tide stations, weather and marine map layers, and hourly conditions. Available layers depend on your source, location and plan. Forecast layers show estimates, not live observations; solunar activity windows are a planning reference, not a promise.

Log your catches. Learn from your trips.

Logging your catches means learning from every trip instead of relying on memory. Record where, when and how each fish was caught, then compare your own records over time.

Plan for getting home.

This is exactly why our nonprofit exists. Our mission is to give boaters and anglers the tools, resources and information that make every day on the water safer, easier and more successful. Through Fishing Mobile we work to promote boating safety, help reduce boating accidents, and create a better experience for everyone on the water. Prepare a float plan, share it directly with a trusted shore-side contact, and confirm they agree to follow up if you are overdue. Saving a plan or verifying a contact does not mean someone has accepted a watch. Fishing Mobile is not an emergency monitoring or dispatch service.

Before departure

Share your route and expected return time.

Confirm your contact received the plan and agrees what to do if you are overdue.

Carry appropriate emergency communication equipment.
