Wavve Boating launches free nautical chart viewer © Wavve Boating

Wavve Boating has unveiled a free, browser-based nautical chart viewer, making it easier than ever for boaters to explore waterways, check marine charts, and plan routes—no app downloads or paid subscriptions required.

With this new tool, boaters can instantly access detailed nautical charts across the United States, Canada, and Australia, with more locations coming soon. Boaters can manually plot routes or take advantage of Wavve's auto-routing feature for effortless trip planning. Plus, Wavve Boating members can sync planned routes directly to their mobile app for on-water navigation.

This launch comes at a crucial time for the marine industry. The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) recently reported a 9% decline in boat sales in 2024, highlighting the importance of boater experience and retention as top priorities for businesses. "This product release is another step in Wavve's mission to make boating easier, more enjoyable, and more connected," said Adam Allore, CEO of Wavve Boating. "When boaters have better experiences, they keep coming back—driving retention, passion, and industry momentum."
