America’s Boating Club Launches New App

America’s Boating Club® announced the launch of a new mobile resource for boaters – the America’s Boating Club app. Offering an all-in-one information asset for a great day on the water, the new application for smartphones and tablets provides nautical reference information, access to maintenance records, usable float plans, weather information, tides and currents, and more.

The America’s Boating Club app uses a device’s internal GPS to provide current location information. It has an Emergency section that provides a boat’s information to respond to emergencies or give assistance if needed. Once logged in, users can also create a virtual log and easily file float plans. The Resources section includes a vast database of helpful information including links to the National Weather Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tide charts, Aids to Navigation, lights and communication flag information, and a section on how to tie knots. Users can also use the app to request a free vessel safety check from their local squadron.
