    Only complaint is they should update the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America . The MarineTraffic app has become a highlight of our beach vacations, turning ship-spotting into a delightful family activity! Whenever we’re lounging by the ocean, this app lets us explore the ships cruising off the coast, adding a layer of excitement to our trips. Here’s why it’s such a hit: The real-time ship tracking is super engaging. Using its global network of AIS receivers, MarineTraffic shows near-instant positions of vessels on a live map. My kids love tapping the colorful icons to discover details like a ship’s name, speed, or where it’s headed. It’s like a game, turning distant dots into stories we can follow—perfect for keeping everyone entertained! The free version is packed with features for casual use. It offers basics like vessel positions, courses, and even photos, which spark curiosity without needing to pay. We often guess a ship’s destination before checking, making it hours of fun for both kids and adults. The interface is user-friendly, with an intuitive map that even my tech-shy parents can navigate. For beach trips, the app’s ability to scan nearby harbors or search for specific ships adds an educational twist. We’ve learned about different vessel types and even chatted about global shipping while watching tankers pass. The wind forecasts and port arrival info are handy for planning our beach days around ship-spotting. There are a few quirks. Some features, like tracking ships far offshore, are behind a paywall, which we’ve never needed since most ships we see are coastal. Coverage relies on local AIS receivers, so in remote areas, data can be patchy—though popular beach spots usually work great. Occasionally, ships vanish from the map when it refreshes, likely due to signal drops or smaller boats without AIS. It’s not a dealbreaker for our casual use, just a reminder it’s not for navigation. We also hit a one-time glitch creating an account (the country list wouldn’t load), but using it without signing in was fine. Overall, MarineTraffic is a fantastic free app for beachgoing families wanting to spark curiosity. It’s fun, educational, and transforms a day at the beach into a maritime adventure. Highly recommend giving it a try next time you’re by the coast! 5 stars for family fun!

    Cool app to track our vessels. I am just learning how to use it and that is the only reason for only four stars.

    I wanted to try this out mostly to see if I can follow the TikTok guy if he was on here but every time I go to change settings all the ships disappear and I have to uninstall and reinstall it over and over and it won’t let me sign in with my apple account even though I did it successfully the first time
