Argo - Boating Community & Map for iOS

Argo is a free mobile Social Boating and Navigation App made for boaters by boaters. Connect with others while out on the water, plan trips with your friends, learn about popular local spots, and navigate safely with our custom nautical charts.

Founded by a boating family from the Chesapeake Bay, Argo is all-American and all-fun. Whether you are a new or seasoned boater, you will find it fun and easy to navigate with Argo. We take the frustration out of boating so you can sit back and just enjoy the ride. Check out our favorite features below:

Custom Charts with Auto-Routing Feature

Enter your boats draft and Argo will create a custom route just for you. The route changes color based on how close the bottom is to your boat to make navigation easier and safer.

Real-Time Updates on Hazards, Police, Marine Life, Weather and More

Navigate safely through new waters. Use the Argo community to stay up to date on any new hazards, map issues or points of interest. View pins others have dropped to make navigation easier and safer. Of course, while on your voyages, if you find something others should know about, drop a pin and share the love.

Find Local Beaches, Restaurants, Marinas and more

Plan your trip before your get out on the water. Use our custom marine charts to explore fun spots others have pinned. Use the charts to click any place pin to read a brief description, view pictures and see the comments that others have left. Save your favorite places and voyages to your captains log to use next time you plan a trip.

Share Your Location with Friends

Going for a spontaneous weekend trip and want to let your friends know where you are? No need to coordinate over the phone, they can just check your location and route to you. This feature is also perfect if you keep family members back home updated on your whereabouts.

Social Boating Community

Join our community to share your boating experiences or recent voyages in our newsfeeds and explore what friends are doing. Set up a group, invite members, assign your own burgee; then see each other on the water, and connect via messaging and newsfeeds. Newsfeeds will be available in the next update and groups are coming soon.

Whos Argo for?

Our community is for everyone who loves boats and being on the water. It doesnt matter if you have a motorboat, sailboat, yacht, or even a kayak. Welcome to our family.

Please keep in mind:

Argo is currently still in its beginning stages, so we need your help! Most of our boaters are located in the Chesapeake Bay, so most of our crowdsourced pins and local advice is there as well. Are you a boater from somewhere else in the US? Or maybe youre even sailing on Americas Great Loop? Help us expand our community of boaters and sailors from coast to coast by adding your favorite hangout spots, hazards, and more to our map. Thank you and were glad to have you on board.
