Very Accurate
I’m always skeptical of anything related to predicting weather, however, this app has impressed me over the last couple of years. Although the premium version extends the forecast to 16 days, my experience is to trust up to seven days. After that it drops to a 50/50 scenario… still not bad since predicting Mother Nature can’t be conquered. If you’re a boater, don’t think about it any longer, buy it.

Going to the Bahamas ?
We use Buoy Weather mainly to plan our trips from South Florida to The Bahamas. There’s nothing better than a smooth trip and no other app gives us such accurate info. With the 16 day window we are able to make plans in Maryland and get still get the best flight fares to FLL, after checking with Buoy Weather. Is say to use and I’d say affordable but the price is no factor. Buoy Weather is our go to app!

Great product from a Guy who Builds a Website
Guys, this App is solid. Hasnt given me any glitches yet and provides tons of information I need days before going out. It was spot on in what it said for my last trip out! I am currently building a site for my company Autohitch and I can tell you its not easy, so what I see here is quality stuff! Download and pay!
