FAQ
Boating Hubs vs Navionics and Argo
Yes. Boat-launch maps, marina info, and local conditions are free here, with no subscription. Conditions come from free NOAA wind, tide and wave data.
No. Browsing launches, marinas, and conditions is free and needs no account.
Those apps license nationwide charts, and that is what you pay for. We use free public data like NOAA instead. The businesses listed here pay for their own pages, bookings and app, and that pays for the free tools.
