Ship Finder has been top rated and top ranking since 2009 and covers most of the world, tracking 20,000+ ships simultaneously.
Our incredible app performance means that you can see all tracked vessels at once - no clustering here!
Simply tap a ship to see its name, type, photos, speed, dimensions and much more.
Powerful features such as filters, search and the ability to save favourite ships are included. (You can choose Apple or Google maps too!).
Add and browse bookmarks to saved locations around the globe to quickly navigate to areas or ports of interest.
You can even use Augmented Reality (AR) view to identify ships out at sea using your device camera.
Ship Finder works by picking up AIS ship feeds used by all passenger vessels, vessels over 300 tons and increasingly by smaller pleasure craft and yachts. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used by vessels for safety and navigation.
Ship Finder provides near real time “virtual radar” AIS maps. It’s easy to use and is an amazing app for anyone interested in shipping, cruising and sailing in ports and locations across the world. It’s also great if you simply want to know what boats are out there or want to see where your friends and family are. Ship Finder is also used extensively by maritime professionals and mariners.
Our global AIS coverage is impressive and expanding all of the time as we add new AIS feeds and receivers. Please check www.shipfinder.co regularly to see the latest coverage.

Reviews
Not pleased

Purchased this app to monitor vessel traffic in the Pittsburgh area. I have yet to see a single tow boat! In fact I’ve only seen a couple in the whole Ohio valley! Not pleased!!!
Missing vessels
Kyle Tom Green
This app seems to have blackout locations. I’ve read that you can’t see boats in mobile and I know you can’t see any boats further down the Texas coast than Galveston. It’s important to be able to see vessels down around Corpus Christi all the way down to Brownsville but they aren’t showing up at all like they don’t exist.
Seriously ???

I’m not sure who writes the reviews for this App, but I can tell you that there are much better apps out there ! It used to be my go to for marine traffic in my area, but I’ve had to look elsewhere for better accuracy. But ok, you got my $5.... don’t spend it all in one place
Not that great....

I’m sitting on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay with a huge container ship in sight and (and other large ships) there’s not one dot on the entire bay. When I got the lite version, it seemed fantastic, with lots of information. I’ve checked my settings but still nothing.
Try any other tracker

Used this in the past. Had to re-up. Now I can’t search ships by name and I can’t find help. At least it was cheap. Even when I have it show “all”, the ships I am tracking don’t show up though they do on other apps I’m using concurrently.
Mile markers
thebigbear35
I would to see more mile makers in the app. I do use this app a lot due to work, and it would help me out if you would add something of the sort to the app. I use to use a different app but due to it being taken off the market this is the next best thing. But over all the app is wonderful. I just would like some mile makers on the Mississippi River so that I can calculate time and distance! Thanks
OK not great
Gold no more
I’ve been tracking a ship that has my car on it from Sweden. It does not update as well as the free app. The ship shows as not trackable but the ship is parked in Panama waiting to go thru the canal. Shows up on the free app. Not here though.
