Terms of Use

Dock Call is a planning aid for the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts, from Maine to Texas and California to Washington. It is not a certified chart, not a navigation system, and not a depth sounder. You are responsible for your boat and your safety. Nothing in the app warrants that a depth, a path, a tide, or a weather line is right.

Check the official NOAA chart and the Coast Pilot before you go. In state water, use that state's official page. In North Carolina that is the Division of Marine Fisheries proclamation. Dock Call does not copy the size and bag table. A grounds note is not a promise you will catch fish. A NOAA season line, when it loads, is a summary. The Federal Register wins if they disagree.

Man overboard, go-to, bearings, range rings, and plotter marks are reference only. They do not steer the boat and they do not avoid a shoal. A green range ring is fuel range from the burn, tank, and reserve you typed, in calm water. It is not a circle of safe water. Find a deep path can be wrong and can cross a shoal. The anchor reminder is not a certified alarm and is not a promise the anchor is holding. Danger rings are charted soundings plus a tide prediction, not the water under the boat.

Swell and water temperature come from NDBC buoys. Wind and the forecast along a route come from the National Weather Service. Tides and currents are NOAA predictions. Saved chart tiles are NOAA pictures of the view you saved. Water you have not opened is not on the phone. The photo base is not stored.

Dock Call is not affiliated with NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey, any state agency, or any chart or boat company. Their names are used only to say where a number came from.
