Argo - Boating Navigation

The top navigation and planning app for boaters — easy-to-use like Google Maps, but built for the water. Works on ICW, offshore, rivers & lakes across the U.S. and Canada. Powerful enough for seasoned cruisers, yet simple enough for new boaters to learn.
Plan trips, navigate safely, and stay connected with friends, family, and clubs on the water.
- Why Argo? -
Let’s be honest: most marine software is either clunky, confusing, or so expensive you feel like you’re buying the boat all over again. Not Argo.
Argo is:
* Easy to learn and use even for new boaters or someone who’s been using another tool for decades.
* Powerful enough for all your boating needs. It’s a chartplotter+ on your phone/tablet
* The only boating app with a fully functional free version. Get started immediately, no credit card required.
* Quick, personal customer service. The founder himself responds daily.
* Family-owned and operated. Based on the Chesapeake Bay.
