Safety Notice

SatChart is situational awareness only

Use SatChart as one reference among many. Do not rely on it as the sole source for navigation, weather, tides, safety, fishery management, or business decisions.

Not an official source

SatChart is not a chart plotter, ECDIS, official nautical chart, official navigation product, official NOAA/NWS warning source, official tide/current table, official fishery-management product, emergency locator, or distress communication tool.

Verify critical information

Verify navigation, depth/hazards, tides/currents, weather/marine warnings, openings/closures, regulations, and emergency/safety information with official sources and onboard instruments.

Known limitations
