Description
Avoid fouled propellers caused by lobster and crab pot buoys. Go Pottie maps reported pots across UK and Irish waters so you can spot hazards before you reach them.
Never miss a hidden pot again. Go Pottie can automatically alert you when a reported pot lies ahead on your course—even with the app closed.
WHY YOU NEED IT
Unmarked pot buoys are one of the most common hazards on UK coastal waters. Low-visibility, below radar level, and impossible to spot at speed — they appear suddenly and they're expensive when they do. A single prop fouling incident can mean an emergency haulout, hundreds of pounds in repairs, and a ruined sailing passage.
Go Pottie puts every reported pot on your chart overlay in real time, so you're never caught off guard.
HOW IT WORKS
Any user can drop a pin when they spot a pot buoy. The map grows with every passage made by every Go Pottie user in your area. Every reported pot improves the map for everyone using Go Pottie. As more sightings are added, local coverage becomes increasingly comprehensive.
FEATURES FOR SAILORS
- Live map of nearby lobster, crab, and prawn pot buoys on your chart - Proximity alerts — your phone notifies you automatically when a marked pot is ahead, with heading and distance, even when the app is running in the background - Offline map caching — no mobile signal offshore? Your chart data is stored on device and ready when you need it
FEATURES FOR POT USERS
- Place your pots on the map with a single GPS tap - Instant theft or drift alert if a pot is reported missing — available on all tiers including free - Log haul counts and notes per pot to track your best-performing locations over the season
