Cruising Yachts

Save time, money and reduce equipment wear and tear....

By using Tidetech's Global data you can set a course that will have your yacht cruising with ease. Have an easy visual understanding of where the current is, how fast it is flowing and simply position your yacht within the area of favourable current or outside the area of adverse current. Know the direction, strength and timing of the Tides and your position relative to the tide.

The use of navigation software by cruising yacht owners is growing in popularity (it is often a cheaper option than installing plotters and other hardware) and this allows them to utilise the GRIB download and optimal routing functions of these systems as an invaluable tool in passage planning and for real time weather information access. Tidetech data can be viewed in most GRIB compatible navigation software.

You only need to subscribe for the duration of your passage.
