Know earlier what is coming
A low bridge, a closed lock, or a large vessel approaching? Rivers & Seas makes the situation ahead easier to understand and can notify you even while the iPhone is locked.
Satellite maps for boats
Find the patch of sand where you actually want to anchor.
Rivers & Seas combines high-resolution satellite imagery with navigation marks, hazards, and chart lines. You can tell sand, seagrass, and rocks apart without switching between Google Maps and a boating navigation app during the approach.
A real anchorage in Mallorca
You can see where the pale sand begins before the anchoring manoeuvre.
You enter an unfamiliar bay where pale sand, dark seagrass, and scattered rocks lie close together. From the helm, the right patch can be difficult to judge – and this is not the moment to compare two different maps.
Rivers & Seas keeps everything in one calm, readable view. Satellite imagery shows the seabed, while navigation marks, rocks, hazards, and chart lines remain visible above it. You can identify a suitable area earlier, make a calmer approach, and return your attention to the water sooner.
The real anchoring spot on the map
See it for yourself on the map.
Pale sand, dark seagrass, and nautical information appear together in one view. You can study the right area calmly before approaching it with your boat.
Like Google Maps for boats – built for this moment
One clear view instead of two apps.
Satellite imagery shows what the bay really looks like. A boating navigation app shows what matters on the water. Rivers & Seas brings the two together.
Make a calmer approach
Pale sand stands out from darker seagrass and rocky ground. You know earlier which area you want to approach instead of searching at the last moment.
Keep everything in one view
Buoys, rocks, hazards, and important lines remain visible over the satellite image. Less switching means less distraction when your attention belongs on the boat and its surroundings.
Return to a good spot
Save the sand spot as a bookmark with a photo and note. Your personal map will guide you back next time on iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
The difference becomes clear at the anchor
The anchor holds. The seagrass remains untouched.
On the chosen sand patch, the anchor lands on pale, clear ground. The manoeuvre is easier to understand, the holding feels more reassuring, and sensitive seagrass beds are easier to avoid.
More than a beautiful aerial image
A boating navigation app that reduces the work at the right moment.
Anchoring calls for a clear view, a calm approach, and as few distractions as possible. Your boat position, saved places, and nautical information therefore stay directly over the satellite image. There is no need to piece the situation together from several apps, so your attention can return to the wind, the water, and your boat sooner.
