Professional marine navigation, wherever you take the helm
SeaVectors brings official ENC charts, route planning, live marine conditions, AIS awareness, and your boat's instrument data into one focused navigation workspace. It is designed for coastal cruising, fishing, passage planning, and professional operations — with the chart kept at the center of everything.
Unlike a street map extended over the water, SeaVectors works with official NOAA ENC coverage for the United States and detailed vector charts for the Canada West Coast. S‑57 chart data is portrayed with S‑52 symbology, so soundings, contours, hazards, lights, and restricted areas remain clear and useful at every zoom level.
New to ENC? An Electronic Navigational Chart is an official vector chart. Because its features are data rather than a flat picture, SeaVectors can show details intelligently, respond to your settings, and stay sharp as you zoom.
What you can do with SeaVectors
- Navigate on professional vector charts — choose nautical, night, satellite, and relief styles, inspect charted features, and configure the detail shown for the task at hand.
- Plan before departure — create multi-leg routes with distance, ETA, and fuel estimates, then run the built-in simulation to review the voyage before leaving the dock.
- See conditions on the chart — view animated wind, waves, currents, rain, tides, and official CHS/NOAA stations around your route.
- Connect to your boat — receive NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 data over WiFi for depth, speed, heading, wind, engine information, fuel, and more.
- Improve situational awareness — monitor AIS targets with CPA/TCPA and receive warnings for collision risk, restricted areas, and supported fishing closures.
- Keep your voyage organized — record tracks, save markers with notes and media, manage routes, and find everything again in My Data Hub.
- Prepare for weak connectivity — browse charts ahead of time for automatic caching and download marine forecasts for your trip area.
Who it is for
SeaVectors works equally well as a capable companion to a fixed chartplotter or as the primary planning and navigation workspace aboard a small craft. New boaters get approachable explanations and sensible defaults; experienced mariners get real ENC detail, configurable portrayal, live instruments, and the controls they expect.
