VesselFinder is the world’s most popular and trusted vessel tracking and marine traffic app, delivering real-time information on ship positions and movements worldwide. Using a powerful network of satellites, roaming and terrestrial AIS receivers, VesselFinder provides accurate and up-to-date insight into global maritime activity.
Designed for maritime professionals, shipping enthusiasts, and anyone interested in live ship tracking, VesselFinder offers a fast, intuitive, and reliable way to explore vessel traffic across the globe.
VesselFinder key features:
• Real-time tracking of over 300,000 vessels daily using global AIS data
• Vessel movement history with track visualization
• Predicted routes and ETAs to next port
• Comprehensive vessel particulars, including technical specifications, and cargo capacity information
• Contact details for the owning company, manager, ISM manager, and more
• Port Calls per vessel, showing arrival times and duration of stay
• Port Calls per port, with detailed lists of expected vessels, arrivals, departures, and ships currently in port

Vessel visibility depends on AIS signal availability, with near-shore coverage consistent with the data provided on VesselFinder.com. If a vessel is outside our terrestrial AIS coverage area, its last reported position will be displayed and updated as soon as new data is received. Extended real-time coverage via satellite and roaming AIS sources is available through a subscription. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, the completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed.

I see a picture of a pilot ship has appeared on my profile which I cannot delete or insert a correct picture of my vessel. I’m also listed as a pilot vessel but all my boat details are correct. Why would this be?

At least on this app, the sea is blue and the land is green, and it tells me what ships are out there. VesselFinder Lite gives me all that I need for free. It may not be as comprehensive or as detailed as MarineTraffic, but at least this app is quick, slick, clear to see and simple to use. All for free. The ads aren’t intrusive at all (long may it continue) with a great user interface.I am happy to move here. I created a free account so I can add ship details and photos as I come across them on my holidays and travels. I urge you to all jump ship from MarineTraffic and boost the quality of the content over here on VesselFinder Lite. Full steam ahead! ⛴️

When it works it is great but it seems a bit hit and miss. According to VesselFinder I am off of Ibiza but I’m actually in Mallorca. Not much help when you have people watching your progress and worrying. Marine Traffic knows where we are as do all the boats around us as our AIS is fine. Ok I am using free version but if they can not make this work properly then I will not part with money to discover if other versions work or not. Hope you can fix this but it has happened all to often over past 3 years so I have given up :(
VesselFinder Pro discontinued

I bought VesselFinder Pro App for a one off fee. The developers then removed this app without telling me and switched me back to the ‘improved’ free version when new subscription tiers were established. Crucially, I paid this company for something they discontinued and I am no longer able to search ETA or destination for ships- which I was always able to on the pro version that I paid for. I did receive a long ‘cut and paste’ generic reply from the company which had a lot of words yet said nothing. They won’t give a refund 👎
