A crowd-sourced hazard map for sailors — built by the boats that sail these waters.
Every reported lobster and crab pot buoy on a live chart overlay, colour-coded and growing with every passage the community sails.
Sail past an unmarked buoy? Drop a pin in seconds. Confirm pots still in position or flag the ones that have gone — the whole fleet benefits.
Get an automatic heading-and-distance warning the moment a marked pot is ahead — even with the app closed and no signal. (Pro & Max)
Got your own pots? Place them on the map, log every haul, and get an instant alert if one is ever reported missing — free on every tier.
Clean, fast, and built for the conditions you sail in.

The deeper you go, the more Go Pottie does for you — on the water and off it.
Every reported buoy sits on a chart overlay, colour-coded by confidence — recently confirmed, going quiet, or reported missing. Because it's crowd-sourced by the boats actually sailing these waters, the map sharpens with every trip made in your area.
With Pro and Max, geofenced proximity alerts fire automatically when a marked pot is ahead — with heading and distance — even with the app closed and no signal. Keep your eyes on the helm; let your phone keep watch below the waterline.
Drop your own pots on the map with a single tap, log every haul to track your best grounds across the season, and get an instant push alert the moment one is reported missing or drifted — free on every tier, no subscription needed.
Max users cache their chart region before leaving the dock, so pot data comes with you offshore and into remote sea lochs where mobile coverage disappears. Add pots by manual lat/lon too — perfect for logging something spotted from another vessel or heard over VHF.
Start free and upgrade when you're ready. The bigger the tier, the further ahead you can see — and the more the app does automatically.
For casual sailors & pot owners
See pots in your immediate area — enough to spot what's directly around a harbour or anchorage.
For active coastal sailors
See well ahead along your route — the working range for a typical coastal day sail.
For offshore passage planners
The widest reach — plan long passages from home before you slip the lines.
