The Coast Guard, ships and boaters, live. Hear it as it happens. Somewhere off the coast right now, a boat is calling mayday, a tanker is threading a narrow channel and a whale just surfaced next to a ferry. It's all on marine radio, and DockTalk puts it in your pocket. We listen to the VHF radio in America's busiest harbors around the clock and turn the chatter into stories you can follow, captioned and on your feed within minutes. HEAR MAYDAYS AS THEY HAPPEN Real distress calls, pan-pans and Coast Guard broadcasts, transcribed and posted fast. Rescues, groundings, boats taking on water, people overboard: if it happens on the radio, it's on your feed. GET ALERTS FOR THE BIG ONES Turn on notifications and DockTalk taps you when a major story breaks. Pick your pace: only the biggest stories, a few a week, or about one a day. Alerts stay quiet overnight. FOLLOW EVERY STORY, START TO FINISH Instant Replay plays an incident from the first call to the last, chapter by chapter, with captions and an animated map of every boat involved. Download the replay as a video to share. LISTEN LIVE Channel 16 and the working channels from Boston to Seattle, with live captions as they talk. TRACK EVERY SHIP Tens of thousands of vessels on the live map, from supertankers and container ships to ferries, tugs, fishing boats and sailboats. Tap any ship for its photo, flag, type, size, speed, heading and destination, follow it across the map, and hear what it said on the radio. FIND THE GOOD STUFF Browse by what you love: maydays, rescues, wildlife, fishing, big ships and human moments. Search any boat or story, and bookmark your favorites. The best moments are kept forever. LEARN THE LINGO Plain-English breakdowns of what you're hearing, from "port to port" to what one whistle means. Tap Learn on any story to see exactly what was said and why. START YOUR 7-DAY FREE TRIAL Try DockTalk free for 7 days on the yearly plan, or go weekly.
