BuoyPilot

BuoyPilot helps boaters and anglers discover lake hazards, report obstructions, check fishing conditions, and contribute to a growing community-powered lake safety map.

Boating conditions can change quickly. Stumps, rocks, shallow areas, debris, and other hazards may appear or become harder to see as water levels change. BuoyPilot gives lake users a simple way to view marked hazards, report new obstructions, and help improve awareness for everyone on the water.

COMMUNITY HAZARD REPORTING

BuoyPilot is built around a simple idea: boaters helping boaters.

View marked hazards on supported lakes, report new obstructions, and help improve lake safety data over time. Community reports can include manually added hazards and photo-assisted reports that help refine obstruction locations.

HAZARD AWARENESS ON THE MAP

See marked hazards directly on the lake map, including estimated accuracy areas. When you are near a marked obstruction, BuoyPilot can help alert you so you know to slow down, look around, and use extra caution.

FISHING INTELLIGENCE

On supported lakes, BuoyPilot can show known fish species, official fishing report details where available, water temperature, water clarity, and lure or bait recommendations to help with trip planning.

MARINAS AND FUEL REPORTS

Find marina information on supported lakes, view business details, open locations in Google Maps, and help the community by reporting current fuel prices when available.

WEATHER AND LAKE PLANNING

Check lake-focused conditions such as wind, weather, water level information, and radar where available. The Day Planner helps you review boating and fishing windows based on conditions like wind, gusts, temperature, rain chance, daylight, and more.
