Description

Ditch provides captains with the smartest routes by leveraging advanced AI to analyze billions of data points, empowering confident navigation. Our proprietary Smart Path™ technology considers AIS data and local knowledge to create the safest and most efficient routes for your boat. We're committed to empowering every captain, new or experienced, to navigate with clarity and confidence.

KEY FEATURES

Breadth & Depth: We combine multiple sources of satellite-based AIS data with high-resolution NOAA depth soundings and US Army Corps of Engineers bathymetry surveys, offering unparalleled coverage and detail.

Constant Evolution: We're continuously expanding our data sources and refining our algorithms, ensuring that Smart Path™ is always learning and improving. In fact, our latest version utilizes roughly 10 times the amount of data compared to previous iterations.

Recency: We prioritize fresh data, filtering out outdated information to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date recommendations.

Transparency: We believe in empowering our users. That's why we provide a layer that allows captains to visualize a sample of the AIS data that Smart Path™ uses to generate routes. This provides valuable insights to the captain into the decision-making process and helps build trust in our technology.

Comprehensive Picture: By combining NOAA depths, USACE bathymetry, and satellite AIS data, we give captains a comprehensive view of the underwater landscape and vessel traffic patterns, providing a unique advantage in route planning. In addition to NOAA depth sounding contours, Ditch includes the U.S. Army Corps of engineers survey data (where available) at no extra cost.
 
AI Powered: Our cutting-edge technology analyzes millions of miles of real-world boating data. Ditch creates the optimal route for your boat.

Effortless exploration: Ditch suggests safe and efficient routes, letting you focus on the thrill of discovery and safer boating. 
 
GPS location: Ditch uses your mobile device to provide marine navigation and boat chart information that is relevant to you.

Filter & Customize: Routes created in Ditch can be filtered based on boat size and other factors that matter to you. Routes made by captains that you like to follow can be quickly identified by color.

Make Your Mark: Quickly mark important places on the map, and search for landmarks. All devices running Ditch, and the Ditch web site, are all automatically updated with your data.

We are a problem-solving, innovation-driven boat navigation app that's not just disrupting the market but elevating the entire boating experience. We don't replace your expertise, we enhance it. We're not just changing the map, we're changing the way you experience the water. We're committed to empowering every captain, new or experienced, to navigate with clarity and confidence.

Getting better all the time!

I’ve been playing around with the beta versions for about a month or so now. Since my boat is out of the water, I’ve been “cruising” up and down the ICW using the Waterway Guide, checking Ditch Smartpath against Bob423 nav alerts. Amazing correlations. This will be a great tool to have on board next summer when I need some extra assurance.

Great job highlighting difficult to navigate areas

Enhances the MLLW data found on navigation charts to also include the paths most traveled by those most knowledgeable about the local waterways. The Mianus River in Greenwich, for example, practically becomes a beach at low tide and requires practical knowledge to safely navigate. This app does a great job of showing the narrow route to take.

Brilliant - Surprised this is only available now

Great concept and very intuitive interface. This fills a void in traditional navigation products. In a data-driven society, this is the art of the possible and opens the door for operators to explore new waterways!
