Live Conditions & BuoyCAM

Live wave height, wind speed, water temperature, air pressure, and BuoyCAM camera feeds from NOAA stations — all in one view. Color-coded safety ratings from Excellent to Dangerous give you an instant read on conditions, while auto-refreshing camera streams put eyes on the water before you leave the dock.

Not Your Typical Trip Monitor

We combine trip recording with real-time roughness sensing to build a live community of on-the-water conditions. Your device's accelerometer maps motion to the Douglas Sea Scale while GPS tracks your route, distance, and speed — so every trip contributes to a shared picture of what it's actually like out there.

Boaters helping boaters. The more trips recorded, the richer the conditions data becomes for everyone on the water.

Anchor Alarm System

More than a simple geofence — Good Buoy tracks anchor drag visually and with community awareness. The system monitors drag distance, swing counts, and other metrics as a supplemental monitoring tool while anchored.

Get notified if your anchor position changes. The anchor alarm is a supplemental tool only — always maintain proper anchor watches.
