America’s Boating Club Partners with Ditch Navigation App

America’s Boating Club®, the nation’s largest non-profit boating organization, and Ditch, the AI-powered navigation app, announced a progressive partnership to further both organizations’ commitment to fostering boating safety and boosting confidence in boaters. America’s Boating Club will be the exclusive non-profit partner for Ditch.

As part of this exclusive partnership, America’s Boating Club members will receive Ditch at no cost for one year, including Ditch navigation’s unlimited route planning features. Bringing next-level technology and AI-driven algorithms directly to boater’s screens, Ditch’s tools help boaters safely navigate waters.

America’s Boating Club and Ditch are committed to fostering a culture of lifelong learning and bridging generations of boaters through joint initiatives focused on education, skill development and responsible boating practices.

Ditch is built on a foundation of continuously updated information from verified sources such as AIS data, NOAA charts and Army Corps of Engineers depth soundings. Adding more than just layers of information on a chart, Ditch uses this data to show the optimal route with patent pending Smart Path™ technology. The only boat application to use statistical models to analyze historical route data and generate an optimal route based on travel data patterns, Ditch includes data-driven ETAs factoring in no-wake zones and cruising speed, providing a more accurate arrival time based on real boating patterns.
