Features & Capabilities

Wake Watch is the Boater's Resource for information on no wake zones, boating speed limits and bridges. We have no wake zone and boating speed limit maps for FL, NC & CT. We have bridge heights and opening schedules for FL, GA, SC, NC, VA & CT. The app uses your GPS location to track your boat on the map to keep you aware of what bridges and no wake zones are coming up on your route. NOAA boating charts can also be used as the base map!

This is a must have for recreational boaters in Florida and snowbirds cruising south for the winter down the ICW. Boating in FL can be frustrating due to no wake zones and limited bridge openings. Limited bridge openings could mean waits of up to an hour or more. This tool will help you to stay informed and plan accordingly.

The app covers all of the waterways in Florida, including the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), bays, inlets and canals. Also covers key areas such as the Okeechobee Waterway, New River, and more. Includes information from a variety of sources, including NOAA charts, state and federal Manatee Protection Zones, Boating Safety Zones and more. It covers the ICW all the way up to Chesapeake Bay, and all coastal waters and rivers up through VA.

Tide station information was also added. For each tide station, the times for high and low tides each day are shown. Tidal heights are included as well.

NOAA Coastal Waters Forecasts are now included. These include wave height forecasts up to five days out. NOAA Raster Nautical Charts can also be used as the background maps.

Speed and heading data are now included. If your primary GPS/plotter fails, you've got NOAA Charts, speed and heading...Everything you need!

User Reviews

WakeWatch is praised for no wake zone data, bridge schedules, and marine chart overlays, plus unique data. However, users repeatedly report data inaccuracies/outdated information, incomplete coverage (especially ICW/local areas), and performance issues (slow loading, zoom failures). Some consider the price poor value given these problems, and there are examples of data causing tickets. Overall, reliability and data quality are the primary concerns despite useful features.
Pros
  • No wake zone data is available and considered helpful across multiple reviews
  • Bridge opening schedules are useful
  • Marine charts overlay the map and help locate navigation markers
  • Data availability that is hard to obtain elsewhere is valuable
Cons
  • Data is frequently inaccurate or outdated across regions (e.g., bridge heights, no wake zones, speed zones)
  • Performance and reliability issues (slow loading, map loading failures, zoom problems)
  • Coverage gaps and limited data (focus on major bridges; ICW/local areas missing)
  • Perceived low value for money due to data problems and potential consequences (outdated data causing tickets)
Recent reviews
Purchased app while day cruising North and South Carolina ICW. Not a single No Wake marked in the ICW in either state. Should have just thrown $2 off side of boat.
