Fishing from a boat at sea, you need to know whether the weather lets you out, where your spots are and how to get back to them. These seven apps cover forecasts, spots, community and fishfinder sync, each in its own way.

Inshore anglers who fish the tide
Tide charts, tide tables and current predictions for stations worldwide, marine weather with wind, seas, water temperature and warnings where available, and a map with depth, wind, waves and moving tides.
If you're looking for new spots, a community app like Fishbrain or FishAngler shows where others are catching. If you have your own spots on a fishfinder, what matters is importing them cleanly and navigating back. In the Mediterranean, the deciding factor is often wind and waves rather than the tide.
In US waters, FishAngler and Fishing Points both map offshore spots and give marine forecasts. In the Mediterranean, Scirocco is built for boat anglers who need a reliable sea forecast and their own marks from the fishfinder.
Scirocco reads Lowrance, Simrad and B&G .usr files, Humminbird .hwr and GPX from Garmin and Raymarine. The Lowrance app syncs waypoints directly with compatible Lowrance units. Fishing Points imports KMZ and GPX.
Fishing Points, Fishing & Hunting Solunar Time and FishAngler (FishForecast with VIP) all have solunar or feeding times. Scirocco doesn't.
Fishing Points has offline NOAA charts, the Lowrance app offline maps with Premium. In Scirocco the compass, navigation, tracks and the last forecast work offline, but the map is not downloaded.
