5/5The ONLY ONE…
Thus is the ONLY Marine weather app that focuses on providing the all-important and primary source NOAA Marine Area Forecast for your area. Getting hung up on point forecasts is a great mistake, when weather predictions are based on large scale forces over large geographic areas. Check Area Forecast on Boating Weather by Blue Whale. Then go geek out on the distractive bells & whistles on the other apps. This is the FIRST and Primary marine weather app we require for all of our boating/cruising students at Shearwater University.

5/5Text Size
Love this app, been using it for many years and it’s the best. Not sure if it was the latest update but my forecast font is tiny, have to pinch and zoom which is not that convenient. Double checked my phone settings all set there. Thank you

5/5Reliable
Incredibly resourceful, never leave the dock without checking. Updated frequently so you can rely on it as long as you monitor (weather changes quickly and sometimes without warning). Customer service is very responsive. I highly recommend this app.

5/5Accurate, Reliable, and Easy
I use this app everyday and refer to my clients to use. It is extremely accurate and very dependable. I am on the water several times a week. I use this app along with another, but has been my favorite go to app for sure.
