Weather to Boat (WTB) App Discontinued – Looking to the Future
We regret to inform you that the Weather to Boat (WTB) app has been discontinued.
For years, the WTB app has been a trusted resource for boaters, providing real-time marine weather, buoy data, and essential safety information to help them make informed decisions on the water. Originally developed with funding from Public Safety Canada as part of a three-year project, the app continued to operate for an additional two years beyond the funding period.
However, due to several challenges—including increasing maintenance costs, ongoing technical issues, and changes in marine weather data availability—we can no longer support the app’s functionality. While the app is no longer available, the WTB website (www.weathertoboat.ca) will remain online to provide safety and weather-related resources for boaters.
We strongly believe that boaters deserve access to accurate, real-time weather and safety information. That’s why we are actively exploring ways to bring back an improved version in the future.
If you or your organization are interested in supporting or sponsoring efforts to revive and enhance the WTB app, we would love to hear from you. Thank you for your support and understanding!

WHY DO YOU NEED THIS APP?
Most boaters check the weather before they go boating. Unfortunately, marine weather reports are primarily limited to coastal waters and the Great Lakes and as a result, there was no comprehensive weather App that covers all of Canada. Inland water boaters have to access public ground-based weather, and few know the difference between ground based and marine forecasts.
