- Simple and Seamless Marine GPS Navigation -
Put away overcrowded and complex charts and apps. Wavve Boating's GPS focuses on important and relevant information so that navigating is as easy as staying in the blue and avoiding the red.
- Custom Nautical Charts -
View and change Wavve Boating's nautical charts based on your unique boating needs and preferences. Set your draft and Wavve Boating redraws the nautical charts to fit your boat. Nautical charts are available for the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK.
You can view a map of our coverage on our website.
- Community Boating -
Just like at the dock or on the water, we all help each other in Wavve Boating. Share expert knowledge of the local waterways by adding shared points of interest to the map. The community can vote on pins, making sure they are all valid and valuable. Not quite ready to share a great find? No problem, you can keep your points of interest private as well.
- Tides -
Track changes in water height in tidal regions and along rivers and lakes with the tides function. View a body of water in North America, and the app will update to reflect the current water levels. View predicted water heights up to 18 hours in advance and track the next tidal variances.
- Weather -
Check the weather, including a complete seven-day forecast, across all of North America. Easily view the temperature, wind speed, and wave height as you move around the map. The local daily forecasts are color-coded to show if it is dangerous to go boating, using guidelines from the Coast Guard's small vessel advisory.
- Fleets of Friends -
See who is on the water and where they are by adding friends to your fleet. Share your locations with members of your fleet to make meeting up a breeze. Want to keep your best fishing hole a secret, even from your boating buds? Easily hide your location to boat under the radar.
- So Long Chart Plotters -
Marine navigation is more than concentrating on a cluttered chart plotter. Get your head out of the cabin and enjoy the journey. Stop buying marine charts piece by piece for your chart plotter. Wavve Boating has integrated all the marine charts into one map for your boating GPS needs.

Wavve Boating: GPS, Map, Chart Positive Reviews
SAFETY IS WAVVE BOATING’S #1 PRIORITYThe user interface on this app is so fast and easy to use. I've found it to be very accurate as well as convenient. Wavve Boating is amazing and ill tell you why. I love the step by step of how to use the app and each of its functions for beginners such as myself! You will find every single available dock logged around me whether it's for all the local and popular spots or if it's the small hidden spots that are not often used, Wavve has them all marked! I love the weather/wind prediction aspect so you're always aware of the current and potential future conditions to keep you safe. I also love that you can enter the size of your boat and it tells you in the what parts of the water are safe and deep enough to travel in and what parts are not deep enough and I love that it changes based on the tides of that time to keep every boater safe at ALL times! Overall I highly recommend and I give 5 out of 5 stars especially if you are a frequent boater! Lastly, this app has a yearly subscription but if you want to try it first you can use the free trial they offer!😊😊😊.Version: 4.2.3
Essential for any frequent boater!!!This app is amazing and goes beyond my expectations! I love the step by step of how to use the app and each of its functions for beginners such as myself! This app has every single available dock logged around me whether it’s for all the local popular well known spots or if it’s the small hidden docks that are not often used, this app has them all marked! I love the weather/wind prediction aspect so you’re always aware of the current and potential future conditions. Also love that you can enter your boat size into the app and it tells you in the what parts of the water are safe and deep enough to travel in and what parts are not deep enough for your boat, and that it changes based on the tides of that time! Overall I highly recommend and If you are a frequent boater this app is well worth the yearly subscription!.Version: 3.2.1
IncredibleI have been using this app for well over 3 years now and it is absolutely incredible. The functionality and interface are rock solid and SIMPLE. You’re not going to be scrolling through various pages, trying to find the information you need. As a professional captain, I have used a lot of charting apps and software. Wavve is, hands down, the easiest and most intuitive nautical navigation app you can find. 5 out of 5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Version: 3.0.5
Love the app…but should be able to install on more than one deviceUpdate: I wrote the review below and they are paying attention and provided me with a temporary solution. Thank you. I love the app but the subscription is not “family sharing” compatible. So the subscription is under my husband‘s Apple account but I can’t put it on my phone when I vote without him. We utilize family sharing and most apps allow this. Please enable.Version: 3.7.2
Best features, most intuitiveThis could very possibly be the most functional app I’ve ever used. I’m speaking as a pleasure boater, not a fisherman or anything like that. But this app is packed for if everything I need to enjoy a day out in the boat. And the design is very intuitive. Kudos to this development team!! Make sure to watch the tutorial videos. They really helped me to make sure I knew everything that the app offers..Version: 5.3.8
Getting better every release!I really love this app! It is very good for planning a route for areas I have never visited. I own a SeaDoo GTX 300 Limited and use this app through BRP Connect. It is very nice to have this app integrated in my display. There are a few items I wish the app had. Hopefully they will be available soon for the iPhone app. 1. I would like the ability to create and share my planned routes with my Wavve Boating friends. 2. I would like the ability to dynamically share my points (I.e. water hazards) with my Wavve Boating friends. 3. I would like the ability to see my Wavve Boating friends on my map while running. 4. I would like the ability to create my planned routes and share to my app and Wavve Boating friends from the Wavve Boating website. This is a great app and I am certain it will become even better!.Version: 3.1.1
SO EASY TO USEI am fairly new to boating and marine navigation charts. I was so grateful for this app last Saturday when I was in unfamiliar waters and unsure of which channels to follow. I am in SW Florida and was thrilled with the simplicity and accuracy of the information provided. Like the navigation in my vehicle, this app tracked my progress so I couldn’t get confused on where I was and what markers I should follow or expect next. Great value and so easy to use for a beginner!.Version: 3.0.5
Dependable boating app that is easy to useWe’ve used the app for nearly two months. We found it to be very accurate, easy to use and feature rich. We use this to record trips, as well as to plan new trips. It is primarily a backup to our Raymarine navigation system, but we could easily use this as our primary system if we had to..Version: 5.1.3
Super fast and convenient appThe user interface on this app is so fast and easy to use. I’ve found it to be very accurate as well as convenient, so I definitely would recommend it. I wish the subscription was a little cheaper, but if you’re in need of the services then it’s probably worth it. And there’s a free trial as well if you want to give it a try first!.Version: 3.9.4
Great findThis app was a great find. I lived on Lake Michigan for many years. I’ve done plenty of boating and fishing along the lake. This app brings a lot of different tools and knowledge about the shoreline, features, weather, etc and puts it all in one place. I am learning a lot about an area I thought I already knew well. I really like that I can find other inland features such as boat launches as well..Version: 3.7.2
Great app!This is such a great app for new and experienced boaters. I wish it would have been available 20 years ago when we used to boat a lot at lake of the ozarks with a big group of friends! Easy to use and love that you can share with friends. Wish there was a free version but understand. Still worth the money if you boat a lot..Version: 4.6.8
Most helpful boating appThis app has everything a beginner could need. You can put your boat size in to make it even easier. This app has a TON of different features to utilize from remembering your different locations to creating a route. It will be helpful for new or experienced boaters..Version: 3.9
Highly recommendThis is a great product especially for those new to boating or navigating unfamiliar areas! I would highly recommend this especially when traveling at night. Also the app is easy to understand and use!.Version: 4.5.2
Love the appPurchased the app and service to help in new waters I hadn’t navigated. I had a few, self induced struggles, to start. A message sent to their help desk was answered by one of the app developers who offered a phone session to help. I have never encountered such comprehensive service from an app developer!!!! Thank you.Version: 3.8
Used to be great before update!This app is great and then they updated it and the canals that I live in disappeared off the map. They were able to get it updated but it took several weeks. They were pretty easy to work with about it but it’s very disappointing the issues with the map for several weeks..Version: 3.1.4
Developer handled a refund with great professionalismIt took a few emails, but the Canadian developer refunded my payment when a glitch caused the subscription to not cancel. It’s nice to see a N. American based developer - I’d definitely recommend trying them for boating navigation..Version: 5.0.4
So simple yet efficientLove this app! My husband fishes and we use our boat with the kids in the summer. It’s super easy to read and navigate, and has a ton of helpful actions. Locating ports, starring locations, recording trips via GPS, and weather details hour to hour including effect on waves..Version: 3.8
Very Good Design; Have SuggestionThis app is much better designed in my opinion to the competitors. If you want to get more users and referrals, I suggest adding a limited use for free users. Overall though, this has potential to be the go-to boating navigation app..Version: 3.3
Great appThe only feedback I have is that I would like the ability to search for fish havens instead of looking manually through the map and then having to mark them..Version: 4.8.3
Great app for boaters & fishermanThis app has tons of different features. And the subscription price is amazing for everything it offers. It can help you find spots to fish, where to anchor, the weather for the day, even the height of the waves in the water. It’s pretty cool..Version: 3.3
Too quick to chargeI like the idea of the app but I don’t like the fact that I can’t even play around with it for five minutes before having to decide on a subscription. I’d like some time to get used to the app and see if it’s something that would work well for me before being asked to pay..Version: 3.9
Easy to useIt is very easy to use even for beginners. It walks you through the steps easily. So far it seems to be pretty accurate. Looking forward to using it more as it gets warmer..Version: 4.2.3
User friendlyLove the Wavve app. Very easy to use and simply designed for everyone. Quick access to all important info. Also, they offer interesting stories, tips, and contests..Version: 5.1.9
Needs CarPlay supportGreat app, but given the availability of stereos and screens that run carplay, it would be very useful to have a larger screen view - especially if you are marketing it as "Google Maps for boaters" - fifth star if you add the feature. Otherwise it is a useful app..Version: 5.4.5
Great for the occasional useThis app makes our group feel a lot more comfortable when in the water. We don’t go out that often so this app basically guarantees that we won’t get yelled at lol.Version: 3.8.2
Nice app but can’t be used all year longThe price annually is reasonable but most people can’t use a boating app all year round. It means I’m buying an app and paying a high price monthly or I’m wasting money paying annually for an app that I can’t use when the weather is bad. Lower the price and I’d consider buying it. It’s a good app otherwise..Version: 4.2.3
Not able to add locations to my favorites!Hello, I have been using this app for two years now. Last year I was able to add locations to my favorites. For some reason this year I can not do that. Is there any reason why ? Thank you..Version: 3.9.2
KevinI love using this app when on the water… what’s even better is their quick response to questions? I emailed Kayla at Wavve Boating at 7:30 a.m and by 8:30 a.m she returned my email with the answer needed for Boating that day. 👍👍.Version: 5.6.3
Perfect for boaters and fishers but not for meThis product would be perfect for people that like two bow in fish and know exactly what’s going on in the water it’s it’s just not for me. The layout of the app was very lovely though..Version: 3.2.1
More than just a appIt the perfect app ever for adventure in the ocean. The app shows a lot of features such as information to find marinas, boat ramps, restaurants and more. It’s did it’s job more than a map..Version: 3.8.3
Great for finding stops along the coastThink of it like maps for the water. You can look restaurants, marinas, fun places near by to stop with easy directions beyond just coordinates..Version: 3.8.3
Good appI like the idea of being able to navigate the boat with this app working as somekind of radar. It’s also a great app to meet other people who are into boating, can create and record the route, and works for thousands of destinations.Version: 3.9.7
Awesome!This app is great and only getting better. I can’t wait to see what they come out with. Customer support is helpful and extremely friendly. Kayla is fantastic!.Version: 4.9.6
Great interface and easy to useThe interface is excellently made, very easy to use and easy to understand. No problems so far..Version: 3.8
Great appThis application is very useful to plan routes and easy to customize. Its interface is fresh and simple. I hope it improves a lot as more places are recognized and more people use this app..Version: 3.1.8
Love ItBoating has never been easier. I use the maps here more than anything, but to connect with friends is fun too. I highly recommend joining..Version: 3.0.4
Cell serviceJust started the trial. If the cell service is bad in my area will this app work still? Have not been on the water yet to try ..Version: 5.2.8
Wave app is great!I use the wave app on my waverunners and also when I take a boat out with my boat club. If you’re just cruising or if you plan a route, it’s simple to use and very helpful..Version: 3.0.5
Looks like it would be amazingIf only they had the lakes that I boat on, it appears it would be a fantastic app and worth the money. I live in “Lake Country” and it’s named that for a reason. However none of our lakes, even our largest lakes aren’t available on the map!.Version: 5.7.6
Great for the frequent boatersThis is a great app for frequent boaters - it’s very easy to use and provides useful information on docks and water levels to help keep your boating journeys safe and fun..Version: 4.6.8
Saved route editingLike the look of the app and has all the necessary places pointed out as well. Would like to edit a saved route without having to delete the all the points up to there. Sandbars move around here..Version: 3.3
Doesn’t cover my area - North Georgia/South CarolinaWas excited to use this app and willing to pay the yearly subscription until I discovered the lakes in my area lacked coverage. Maybe sometime in the future, but until then, I have deleted the app..Version: 5.3.8
Such A Great App!I use the app for navigating & finding new places on the water to explore. Both the navigation and other marked Wavve Points give me extra confidence and make me feel more comfortable boating somewhere for the first time..Version: 3.9.2
Amazing updates!The Wavve app continues to get better and better! Keep up the great work!.Version: 3.0.5
The best boating App there is by far!The.Version: 4.6.7
Top Water Navigation AidWavve Boating app is an absolute game-changer for new boaters like me. It has quickly become my go-to tool for navigating, especially in areas I'm unfamiliar with or during nighttime excursions. What makes this app truly great is its user-friendly interface and its ability to provide comprehensive and precise navigation guidance. Even as a novice boater, I found it incredibly intuitive to use. The app's features, such as real-time GPS tracking and detailed nautical charts, instilled a sense of confidence in my navigation abilities. Furthermore, Wavve Boating's ability to chart out the best routes and provide alerts for hazards along the way ensures that I reach my destination safely. It's like having a seasoned boating expert right in my pocket, guiding me every step of the way. In summary, Wavve Boating app is a must-have for any new boater. It simplifies navigation, especially in challenging conditions or unfamiliar territories, and enhances the overall boating experience. It's become an indispensable companion on my boating journeys, and I can't recommend it enough for both newcomers and experienced boaters alike..Version: 4.7.3
The only boating nav neededThis little App has saved my expensive boat on more than one occasion. I hope to use it to help other boaters in my area to avoid hazards. I feel confident going out on the water with Wavve. Really, it’s the only plotter/navigator I need..Version: 3.0.5
Amazing valueI love being able to see my friends on the water! There are so many good features packed into this app. I’m really enjoying the changes in the latest version..Version: 3.0
Hands down the bestThis app was a ton of help last weekend when on the water - autorouting, weather, wicked interface - its all there. I would like to see a diver POI if possible..Version: 4.7.3
So many great updates!It’s been about a year since I’ve really been back on the water but now that I am I’ve been using Wavve non stop. This app has come so far - the new water level and weather features are awesome and I love the new look. I also appreciate the amazing customer support their team provides. They are always so helpful and friendly even if I have a dumb question!.Version: 3.9.2
Excellent Support!As time goes this app keeps getting better and better! I had an issue with my recorder while going up the Rideau Canal, (a Canadian gem) I emailed them while we were waiting to enter a lock and by the time I completed the lock, I had a response! Top Notch!.Version: 5.4.4
Great-Not for Honey HarbourWe used this app to get us across Lake Ontario and it was absolutely fantastic. It could use some extra updates out in Georgian Bay, where we’re going to primarily keep our boat. But other than that we definitely recommend..Version: 3.2.2
Like a glass of water for a sailer lost on the oceanI don’t usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to do so for this terrific app. I’ve been using the IPad version on the Great Lakes for about a week. After my first trip with it I came home, watched the tutorial, made some adjustments and now it’s working perfectly for me. I reached out with questions and the response was within a day. It does everything it describes and its simplicity is refreshening. Meanwhile…. A close friend is struggling with the Garmin version which cost him $235 for the year and he’s spent several days trying to get his Nav card to work. I spent maybe an hour helping him try to discontinue the auto renewal on Garmin’s website, deviously hidden, I reached out to their support and their reply was a dead end. I have a three month boating season and I can subscribe to Wavve monthly. Garmin only allows a yearly subscription. There’s really no comparison in intention to fill The needs of each platform’s customers. Wavve is vastly superior..Version: 5.4
Love this app for boating!I switched from using navionics and WOW! It’s so much easier to use and the designs are much more modern than any other boating app I’ve tried. Absolutely love this app for days when I’m on the water!.Version: 5.2.0
BeautifulAutorouting is on point. Best looking nautical map that I have seen.Version: 5.1.5
Great appA great app and even greater support (prompt, courteous, effective). I highly recommend this navigation aid..Version: 5.0.2
So many great features!Love the app! Recommend over all other boating app!I hope they gonna add a feature to all time record a route!.Version: 5.0.3
Finally - Great AppI’ve been pretty frustrated with the other apps out there, so confusing. This rocks, saved the family and I last weekend..Version: 3.1.9
New updates took this to another levelLove the UI, super intuitive and easy to use on the water and love seeing my buddies when I’m out shredding the auga!.Version: 3.0
Ordered by mistakeAll I wanted was to see how the Wave app worked. I must have hit the wrong button and mistakenly ordered an annual subscription for $69.99 plus tax. When I contact Wavve and explained the situation they offered me a full refund without question. The app is great, but I only have a small 14 ft boat for crab and prawn fishing and generally I am not more than 2 kilometres away from the dock ..Version: 5.7.3
🙁It would be nice to have a look at the screenshots and try locally before paying before paying. Goodbye..Version: 5.4
Useful toolIts a very useful app….Version: 5.6.3
PaulI signed up for east and west lake Macy to Sandbanks Provincial Park in Ontario and they not available 😞.Version: 5.4.7
Chart names?It would be nice to have the names of the inlets, bays… etc that you would see on a chart… not sure why they’re not on here.Version: 5.4.5
AccurateGreat and accurate app for Thousand Island.Version: 3.2.1
Sweet weatherI really like the weather function. It’s simple but does the trick and super easy to use.Version: 3.1.8
Nailed it - So EasyReminds me of Waze. Great app..Version: 3.0.5
Good App, Not so good Seadoo InterfaceI am fairly sure the blame for this falls on BRP but I can’t really be sure. 90% of the functionality of this app is unavailable when using the screen on my Seadoo, but it seems pretty good when using my phone itself. Definitely needs some more Canadian charts added, ie the Muskoka’s and Trent Severn. I’m a bit choked to see I’m going to be without on screen navigation next week, my first time there. Giving 4 stars for what appears to be a good framework but lacking the map data, combined with developers that respond to messages which is a huge plus for me..Version: 3.1.4
Awesome app .. awesome customer supportA.Version: 5.2.2
Great app would recommend itGreat app easy to use and very helpful in new waterways.Version: 3.0.5
Navigate safely and easilyAs a new boater this app has relieved a lot of stress. I have a better guide of where I can go, can mark points of interest and explore new ones that others recommend. Can’t say enough about how awesome this app is!.Version: 2.6
Support helped meI am new to boating and i love the app. This year i am living on the ottawa canal and there is no data for this area but i understand that is not the apps fault. Dave.Version: 2.1
Finally, marine navigation that works!Navionics was killing me. Scrolling around, looking at traditional charts with no idea where I was heading unless I stopped the boat and took my eyes off the water to get my bearings. Wavve is like using Waze. It follows you along, tells you where not to go, and points out cool things to show your friends at a glance. It’s safe, intuitive and cool. Highly recommend!.Version: 1.7
Best boating appWavve Boating is such a smart and intuitive app! It has all the necessary features of a marine GPS and more. Very user friendly and with a great design!.Version: 1.5
