Description
Ship Finder shows live moving ships on a worldwide map.
You can even use Augmented Reality (AR) view to identify ships out at sea using your device camera.
Ship Finder has been top rated and top ranking since 2009 and covers most of the world, tracking 20,000+ ships simultaneously.
Our incredible app performance means that you can see all tracked vessels at once - no clustering here!
Simply tap on a ship to see it's name, type and destination. Colour coded icons make identification easy too.
If you like this app you'll love the full version of Ship Finder.
The full version includes a huge array of additional features including route history, search, filters, bookmarks, photos, the ability to add favourite ships and much more.
Ship Finder works by picking up AIS ship feeds used by all passenger vessels, vessels over 300 tons and increasingly by smaller pleasure craft and yachts. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used by vessels for safety and navigation.
Ship Finder provides near real time “virtual radar” AIS maps. It’s easy to use and is an amazing app for anyone interested in shipping, cruising and sailing in ports and locations across the world. It’s also great if you simply want to know what boats are out there or want to see where your friends and family are. Ship Finder is also used extensively by maritime professionals and mariners.
Our global AIS coverage is impressive and expanding all of the time as we add new AIS feeds and receivers. Please check www.shipfinder.co regularly to see the latest coverage.

Ratings and Reviews
Much Improved
With a little development this application could become a useful tool for boaters. What I would like to see added would be the ability to view a vessel's track and to project it's future course via waypoints or otherwise. This is already possible on websites such as Marine Traffic. As I am in New Zealand I would buy the full application if it extended beyond the Auckland area.
Update: Since the addition of ship icons giving direction and vector lines this has vastly improved this application. I upgraded to the full version but was a little disappointed to see that the old icons are still used. I hope this will be changed in time. One additional upgrade that would help would be the ability to zoom in on the ship 'Detail View' page as there is a lot of information there to read on a small screen.

Very interesting, finding out where
the ships we’ve watched leaving the harbour have
gone to
No boats
This app hasn’t been picking up any ship in the lower South Island for a while now, not sure it’s worth leaving on my phone ??
