Keeping Your Fishing Spots Private While You Navigate With Wavve Boating

A fishing spot you save in Wavve Boating can stay private to your account, and it goes to other boaters only if you choose to share it. Spots are saved as Wavve Points, and the private or shared setting belongs to each point on its own, so one mark can go to a fishing partner while the rest of what you have found over the years stays yours.

Wavve also has a separate public layer that the boating community builds, with marinas, fuel, boat ramps, restaurants, beaches and hazards. Those public points are reviewed, and in-app voting helps show which ones hold up. Your private points sit outside that layer.

A spot can be saved while the boat is still sitting on it after a fish comes up. Back at home, the same spot can come from somewhere else: a set of coordinates a friend reads out over the phone, or a mark copied from an old paper log. Wavve lets you enter exact coordinates or drop a pin on the map to set that spot as a destination, so a mark from a log or a phone call can still be the place you run to.

When a fishing partner should know a spot, you can share that point or a route to it with them. Your account and routes move between boats with you, so on a buddy’s boat or a rental you still run from your own saved points.

Friends, Wavve’s way of seeing other boaters on the map, shows only Wavve users who share their location, and it never shows every boat on the water. Two anglers who have agreed to share can use it to meet up on the same bay for a morning.

To get back to a spot, set the point as your destination and Wavve’s AutoRouting builds a course around obstacles and through channels, which you can follow turn by turn on the water. The route can be saved, marked as a favorite and given notes, so the run to a spot you fish every fall is ready when the season comes back, along with whatever you wrote about the tide or the bait that worked there.

The public layer is worth checking on unfamiliar water, where it can show the nearest ramp or fuel dock and where other boaters have flagged a hazard. It is community-powered, so not every ramp or hazard will be listed.
