Go Pottie: Avoid Pot Buoys

Fouled props cost sailors thousands. Go Pottie maps lobster and crab pot buoys along UK and Irish coastlines so you can see what's ahead before you reach it.

Built by sailors, for sailors.

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 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 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
• Proximity alerts — your phone notifies you automatically when a marked pot is ahead, with heading and distance, even if the app is closed

For anyone with pots in the water:
• Place your pots on the map with a single GPS tap
• Instant theft alert if a pot is reported missing — on all tiers, free
