User Reviews

SeaPilot on iOS is valued for solid Raymarine integration and as a reliable backup navigation option, with accurate, seamless charts and easy plotting. Users see updates improving the app and quick AIS data. The main drawbacks are coverage gaps and missing nearshore data in several regions (Chesapeake Bay, Lake Okeechobee, parts of Florida), limiting usefulness for some locations. Overall, it’s a strong backup chart plotter with room to expand coverage and shore-side detail.
Pros
  • Strong Raymarine integration and reliable backup navigation
  • Accurate, seamless charts with easy plotting/editing
  • AIS data responds quickly and the app receives useful updates
Cons
  • Coverage gaps and missing nearshore data in multiple regions (e.g., Chesapeake Bay, Lake Okeechobee, parts of Florida) reduce overall usefulness

Says US map is free but only shows details 25 miles offshore.No details close to shore.

Installed app on my ipad and iphone and way too much unreadable data when looking for a location. Scrolling in works better.

I’ve been following SeaPilot from their beginnings and their connection to Raymarine my primary chart plotters and VHF, I gave it a try. The coastal charts around Florida are enough to get around on, the AIS responds quickly. Each update improves it even more. Diehard fan and hope to continue to see more growth and integration in the app. Awesome stuff thus far, looking forward to even more.
