Weekend Getaway- It’s a Grady Day!
On-time & On-budget
My family left New Bern, NC on a Friday to Oriental NC stay the night and had a blast then Beaufort NC and stayed the night and back at New Bern on Monday. Awesome trip and recommend you do it. This app was right on in regards to the swells - which were 3-5 ft. Tide was accurate and allowed me to time our trip. Reliable app and not to mention when you need their assistant while on the water.... I have not need them - but glad to know they are there!
Marine weather not available among other issues...

This app worked well on my old Samsung android but does not on my newer iPhone XR. I cannot get the marine weather and it loses my saved locations, rendering it mostly useless. What happened???

BoatUS is an awesome resource! A must have for boaters before you buy, during ownership, and in the sales process. Keep up the great work!
No response filed claim two months ago

I have filed claim two moths ago no reponse. I called and they said 5 days now it’s two weeks no resolution. Poor service
Worst app I’ve ever used

I’m an Unlimited Gold member. I’ve been an IT Sr. Mgr. for years, a sailor for longer. This is the most unintuitive, non-friendly, can’t remember what you set from one login to the next app I’ve ever experienced in a “boating/navigation/weather warning, update”) app. Seriously disappointed!

Why do I have to set up my favorite location each time I open the app? I set my local tide point and then it is gone the next time I open. Frustrating

We were sailing in the upper Chesapeake this past weekend and Needed emergency support. BoatUS was contacted and came to my family’s rescue in record time! Thank you Capt Harry !! JB
App content is great just never works
seapro180
App used to work great but recently it won’t keep me logged in and freezes my phone. If I actually had to use it for a tow I’d be in trouble. When it does work the content is great
App is junk

I agree with everyone that Boat US is a great service but this app is not. This app is absolute junk. Will not remember login. Will not remember locations. Absolutely worthless.
