Make sense of the map
Three useful ways to explore
Start with an area that interests you. Keep the position timestamp and the limits of AIS coverage in mind as you browse.
Check the available details
Select a marker to view the information supplied by VesselFinder. Check when the position was reported before treating it as current.
Build a realistic shortlist
When you are ready to rent, use charter listings to confirm availability, the departure marina and dates. Ask the operator what itinerary fits your time and budget.
Understand what you are seeing
Why a yacht may not appear
AIS tracking depends on transmissions and reception. A yacht may be outside coverage or its latest report may be old. Not every yacht appears on a public vessel map.
An absent marker does not establish that a vessel is out of service. A visible marker does not establish that it is available to charter. Use the operator’s listing and confirmation for booking decisions.
VesselFinder explains these coverage limits in its official service description.

Before you start exploring
Does the map show every yacht?
No. Visibility depends on AIS transmissions, reception and the data made available by the provider. Smaller vessels and vessels outside coverage may not appear.
Are vessel positions always live?
No. Check the timestamp on the report. A displayed marker can represent the last received position rather than the yacht’s position at this moment.
Can I book a yacht from a map marker?
This is a vessel-tracking map, not a rental inventory. Use the “Search Available Yachts” button to browse charter offers through Boataround.
Why is the embedded map blank?
The external service may be unavailable, or your browser settings may prevent it from loading. Try “Reload map” or use “Open VesselFinder”. The rest of this website remains available.
Can I use this map to navigate?
No. Use appropriate marine charts, navigation equipment and professional judgement. This page is intended for general exploration and charter inspiration.
