What it is
A marine search built for boaters. Search locations, marinas, anchorages, fishing spots (plus boat ramps, marine fuel, harbours, and services), your own routes and markers, and tide and current stations — with saved search history and recently viewed results so your regular places are one tap away.
Want to find a marina, harbor, navigation aid, or charted feature without searching the map by hand?
The 30-day free trial includes the complete experience, so you can evaluate SeaVectors with your own routes and equipment before deciding whether to subscribe.

Why it matters on the water
Generic map search finds streets; marine search finds the things you actually navigate to. Looking for tonight's anchorage, the nearest fuel, a current station for a narrows, or a route you saved last season — it's all in one place, and the results jump the chart straight there.
How to use it
- Open Search.
- Type a name, or pick a nearby category (Marinas, Anchorages, Fishing Spots, Boat Ramps, Marine Fuel, Harbours, Boat Services).
- Choose a result — a place, a tide/current station, one of your routes, or a marker.
- The chart centers there; carry on from the new view (drop a marker, start a route, open the station panel).
What you can find
- Locations & places — harbours, towns, landmarks.
- Marinas, anchorages, fishing spots — and boat ramps, marine fuel, harbours, boat services, as one‑tap nearby categories.
- Tide & current stations — jump straight to a CHS/NOAA station (module 10).
- Your routes — find and open a saved route (module 11).
- Your markers — find a saved spot by name (module 13).
History & recents
- Recent Searches — your recent queries are saved so you can repeat them instantly.
- Recently viewed — results you opened come back to the top, so your home marina or usual fuel dock is always a tap away.
Tips
- Use search to set up route planning: jump to the destination, then build the route back toward you (module 11).
- Searching a tide or current station is the fast way to check a narrows before you commit to a passage.
- Pair with offline prep (module 15): search to an area, then pre‑save its forecasts before you leave.
- If a small place doesn't come up by name, try a nearby category or a larger nearby port and pan in.
Troubleshooting
- No results → Check spelling, try a nearby category or a larger place, and ensure you have a connection for online lookups (your own routes/markers and saved history work offline).
- Result centers in the wrong spot → Pick a more specific result, or pan to fine‑tune after it centers.
