Yes! The free plan includes 50 API credits per month and lets you track up to 2 vessels. That's enough to search for ships, check positions, and get AI insights. Premium plans unlock up to 10 vessels, 500 monthly credits, and faster refresh rates. Available as weekly, monthly, or yearly subscriptions through the App Store and Google Play.
You can track virtually any vessel equipped with an AIS transponder: cruise ships, container ships, tankers, cargo vessels, yachts, fishing boats, military ships, tugs, and more. Simply search by vessel name, MMSI number, or IMO number to start tracking.
When you add a vessel, you select one of seven tracking purposes: loved one on a cruise, family member working at sea, friend traveling, cargo shipment, your own boat, ship enthusiast, or other. The AI then adapts its tone and focus for every update. Cruise families get warm, reassuring messages. Cargo trackers get concise, professional data. Enthusiasts get educational, detailed insights.
Primo Nautic uses a dual-ETA system. We compare the captain's reported arrival time with our own calculation based on current speed, distance remaining, and route data. The AI analyzes both sources, factoring in vessel type and conditions, to recommend the most reliable ETA with a confidence assessment.
Yes, a free account is required. You can sign up with email, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In. Your account stores your tracked vessels, preferences, and credit balance securely in the cloud, so your data stays synced across devices.
For each tracked vessel, you can see real-time weather at its current location: temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, visibility, wind speed, and wind direction. This data is fetched directly from the vessel's coordinates, so you always know the conditions where the ship actually is.
Every action in the app uses API credits. A vessel search costs 1 credit. A quick position check costs 1 credit per vessel. A full extended refresh with weather, voyage details, and AI insights costs 3 credits per vessel. Credits reset on the 1st of each month. The app also uses a smart refresh strategy that checks for status changes first, saving you credits on bulk updates.
Tracking purposes tell the AI why you're following a vessel, so it can personalize every update. There are seven options: loved one on a cruise, loved one working at sea, friend traveling, cargo shipment, my own boat, ship enthusiast, and other. You can also give each vessel a custom name and emoji icon for quick recognition.
Yes, Primo Nautic is available as a free download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The app is built with the same features on both platforms, so you get the full experience regardless of your device.
