Ocean Passage Tracking Service
We've got your back from the moment you leave the dock!
-
Communications
We accept daily position reports via HF radio (voice and DSC), Email and SMS. You can choose which is best.
-
Satellite AIS Tracking
Using our global un-delayed subscription with MarineTraffic, we track your vessel as it crosses the ocean.
-
PredictWind Weather
Each day we review the weather for your area using PredictWind. If we see anything of concern ahead, we will bring it to your attention.
-
RCC Notification
We notify the rescue coordination centre when triggered by our missed check in policy. No waiting for your vessel to be listed overdue.
HF Radio Skeds
During the months of May, June, October and November, we maintain a scheduled listening watch on our HF radio working frequencies.
Our station located in Russell, New Zealand covers the Tasman Sea, Coral Sea and most of the South Pacific Ocean.
PredictWind Offshore
Our service does not replace the requirement for all vessels venturing offshore to have a means of downloading weather predictions daily whilst at sea.
It is foolhardy to rely on a weather forecast obtained on the date of departure.
PredictWind is the gold standard for recreational cruisers on ocean passages. It is cost effective and is a "must have".
