The water ahead, on your phone – even without signal.
buoya shows depths, seamarks, tides, currents and wind for your sailing area, plans routes that keep to your draft and keeps working offline.
Channels, buoys and shoals, the way the chart shows them
Depth areas, dredged channels and buoyage are drawn from NOAA's electronic navigational charts. Three places on the Florida coast, exactly as buoya draws them.

Tides, currents and wind
Tide predictions, tidal streams and the wind forecast for where you sail.
Routes around the shallows
Plan a passage that keeps to your draft – or let the router sail it by the wind.
