BoatCast
About BoatCast
A small marine-weather product built for recreational boaters. Last updated July 26, 2026.
BoatCast is operated as a small software product for recreational boaters who want a clear Good / Fair / Poor call instead of decoding a full chartplotter-style weather suite.
It is built by a Florida-based boater who got tired of piecing together wind, waves, storms, and visibility from multiple apps before a weekend on the water. The goal is simple: less guesswork on whether conditions look workable for a typical recreational trip.
Who it is for
Weekend and after-work boaters on lakes, bays, and nearshore coastal water — people who already handle maintenance, trailering, gear, and float plans, and just need a faster conditions answer.
What BoatCast does
- Search or map-pick a location
- Show air + water metrics with a boating-focused rating
- Surface thunderstorm / heavy rain caution and official NWS alerts when available
- Offer Pro for ad-free use, full 3-day depth, and synced favorites
What it deliberately does not do
- Navigation, routing, or chartplotter replacement
- Official marine forecasts or emergency alerting
- Guaranteed accuracy for every cove, pass, or river mouth
