Marinate: Marine Navigation

Marinate is a chartplotter that works when nothing else does — no signal, no marina wifi, thirty miles offshore. Download your cruising area before you leave the dock and the whole app keeps working: the chart, your routes, the depth contours, the reference tables. There is no account to create and no sign-up screen — open it and you are navigating. ★ OFFLINE VECTOR CHARTS Seamarks, buoys, lights, depth contours and soundings, drawn as vectors so they stay sharp at any zoom and cost a fraction of the storage that image tiles do. Download by area or along a route corridor. Optional NOAA official chart overlay for US waters. ★ AN ANCHOR WATCH THAT ACTUALLY WAKES YOU Set your anchor and a safety radius and Marinate watches your position in the background, with the screen off. If the boat drifts outside the circle it raises a continuous siren, not one polite notification. A dragging anchor at 3 a.m. is the moment an app either earns its place or does not. ★ SAFETY IS NOT AN UPSELL Man overboard is one tap: marker dropped, position frozen, range and bearing back to it. The MOB button and the anchor drag alarm are free forever. ★ ROUTES, TRACKS AND MARKERS Distance, bearing and ETA at your speed. Record and replay tracks. Markers for anchorages, hazards, dive sites and fishing marks, with photos. GPX import and export. ★ MARINA BOOK Search marinas by name or near you, import them to your chart, keep the details offline. ★ A REFERENCE THAT KNOWS THE SEA Collision regulations in plain language with diagrams, code flags A–Z, day shapes, night lights, sound signals, IALA buoyage and an emergency card — all offline, in your language. ★ WEATHER AND TRAFFIC Live rain radar — see the squall coming and reef before it hits. Wind forecast and pressure isobars on the chart. Tides. AIS traffic. Shipping lanes and restricted areas. SignalK for boat instruments. ★ FOR FISHING Satellite sea temperature and plankton (chlorophyll) layers with a real colour scale. Bait gathers on the plankton edges, fish hunt the temperature fronts — you are looking for where the colour changes. Plus high-resolution seabed depth in European waters, fishing markers with photos, and replayable tracks. ★ FOUR LANGUAGES English, Hebrew, French and Spanish — including the reference and the rules, not just the buttons. PREMIUM The core app is free forever: chart, GPS, routes, tracks, markers, MOB, anchor alarm, rain radar and one offline area. Premium adds depth shading and contours, official and high-resolution chart overlays, wind and pressure, sea temperature and plankton, AIS, SignalK, unlimited offline downloads and the extended forecast. It starts with a 14-day free trial, cancel any time. IMPORTANT Marinate is an aid to navigation, not a replacement for official charts, a proper lookout or your own judgement. Carry the charts your flag state requires. Continued use of GPS in the background can decrease battery life.
