BlueHelm Boating

BlueHelm is one clean app for the whole day on the water — plan the trip, watch the weather, run the route, swing safe at anchor, and get home.

WATER-SMART ROUTING

Pick a destination and BlueHelm plans the course a boater would actually run, using depth and channel data from NOAA charts — down the channel, out the mouth, around the headland. Add a stop mid-trip and the route bends through it.

ANCHOR WATCH

Drop the pin, set your swing radius, and the ring draws itself on the chart. Drift outside it and the alarm fires — even with the screen off.

FLOAT PLANS + LIVE TRACKING

File a float plan to your contacts in one tap. They get your boat, route, and a private live link showing your intended course and actual track — no app needed on their end.

MARINE CONDITIONS

Wind, tides, waves, and water temperature for where you are or anywhere you pick, with departure windows that show the best time to leave.

MAN OVERBOARD & SOS

One tap pins the spot with radio-ready coordinates and a bearing back. Hold-to-SOS opens a position message to your contacts — you review it, you send it.

YOUR BOAT — YOUR AI FIRST MATE

Answer a few questions and BlueHelm writes your boat's operating guide from what you told it. Then ask your boat by name — it answers from its own guide, with emergency steps cached offline.

Free to download. Crew and Captain subscriptions unlock the full helm — routing, float plans, and your boat's AI.

BlueHelm is an aid to navigation and situational awareness, not a substitute for proper seamanship, official charts, a VHF radio, or emergency services.
