IMPORTANT NAVIGATION AND AI SAFETY WARNING
Saltwake.ai is a planning and informational tool. It is NOT intended for primary navigation.

- Not for Navigation: All charts, maps, satellite views, and weather overlays are for reference and planning only. Do not rely on them as your sole navigation source.
- AI and Forecasting Limitations: Platform AI features (including the First Mate assistant and wave comfort indexes) can make errors. Always cross-reference with official NOAA, Coast Guard, and local maritime authority reports.
- Captain's Duty: Safe vessel operation is the captain's sole responsibility. Using this app requires you to assume all boating liability.

Saltwake.ai is the ultimate tactical First Mate for offshore captains, tournament anglers, and marine enthusiasts. Designed to integrate directly with your vessel's hardware and community intelligence, Saltwake.ai combines advanced satellite data, real-time telemetry, and artificial intelligence to make your time on the water safer, smarter, and more productive.

Whether you're tracking pelagic fish, monitoring engine performance, or planning your next multi-day offshore route, Saltwake.ai provides the tools you need.

KEY FEATURES:

1. FIRST MATE: AI-POWERED MARINE FIRST MATE
- Get instant answers to complex route, weather, and fishing questions.
- Interactive safety assessments provide clear Go/No-Go status, highlighting potential hazards, rough seas, and wind conditions.
- Log GPS coordinates and extract fishing insights automatically through conversational AI.

2. SATELLITE INTEL AND TACTICAL OVERLAYS
- Track pelagic species with high-resolution satellite charts.
- Real-time overlays for Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Chlorophyll (water clarity), Altimetry (ocean height/eddies), currents, and target Strike Zones.
- Easily identify temperature breaks and current fronts where active fish feed.

3. TACTICAL NAVIGATION AND NOAA CHARTS
- Navigate confidently with NOAA vector basemaps, detailed charts, and customizable marine layers.
- Real-time vessel location tracking and interactive map tools designed for high visibility on the water.

4. LIVE VESSEL DASHBOARD AND NMEA 2000 INTEGRATION
- Connect directly to your boat's hardware to monitor critical vessel metrics in real-time.
- Track engine health, fuel rates, battery voltage, temperature, bilge pump status, and environment sensors.
- Control onboard media players (e.g., Fusion Link) directly from your tactical console.

5. HARDWARE-ENABLED AIS TARGET SHARING
- View real-time positions of nearby vessels.
- Opt-in to share AIS transponder targets received by your onboard hardware with the Saltwake community to improve collective marine safety and awareness.

6. INTERACTIVE LOGBOOK AND CATCH TRACKER
- Build a comprehensive digital history of your offshore trips.
- Record catch locations, fish species, weights, photos, weather conditions, and the gear used.
- Keep detailed vessel loggings and link catches directly to specific NMEA telemetry logs.
