Ninja Navigate

Active navigation for sailors underway

Launch in Browser Android App

What it does

A navigation suite for sailors at sea, all on one screen. It shows live AIS vessel traffic, works out dead reckoning positions, sounds an anchor watch alarm if you drift, and marks a man-overboard position the moment you tap it. Your trip logs itself while you sail, and routes are drawn on official NOAA vector charts.

Features

AIS Traffic

Live vessel positions, names, speed, and heading from AIS broadcasts.

Route Planning

Draw waypoint routes on NOAA charts with distance and bearing readouts.

Anchor Watch

Set a radius alarm. It wakes you if the boat drags.

MOB Marker

One tap marks a man-overboard position with heading and distance back.

Trip Log

Automatic logging of track, distance, speed, and elapsed time.

NOAA Charts

Official US vector charts, always current and rendered at full detail.

When to use it

Before casting off

Plan your route, check for traffic in the channel, and review any hazards along the way.

Underway at the helm

Monitor AIS traffic and track your course made good while the passage logs itself.

At anchor overnight

Set the anchor watch alarm and sleep knowing you'll be woken if the boat drags.

Man overboard

Tap MOB straight away. The app locks the position and gives you a heading back to it.
