Three weeks to go until !

We’re looking forward to heading to Amsterdam to connect with fellow marine industry professionals, catch up with familiar faces and meet some new ones along the way.

We’ll be at Stand 128 in Hall 2 with NZ Marine, with Scout available to explore and demos ready to go.

If you’re heading to METSTRADE, come say hello to Tony and Sam. We’d love to have a chat about what we’re building at Vortex Marine and hear what’s happening across the industry.

See you there!

Most of what we know about how people actually use Scout came from one cruising club. Island Cruising NZ brings together sailors exploring New Zealand and the Pacific, sharing knowledge and experiences along the way.

In 2024, our founder Tony and his wife Jaqui joined the Pacific Rally community on their first venture to Fiji. Through conversations with their members, we’ve gained valuable insights into the real-world challenges of cruising and what matters most to sailors.

A big thank you to Viki and the team at Island Cruising NZ and its members for sharing their knowledge and helping us see navigation through a cruiser’s eyes.

This is Oli. He's on board Supertramp, sailing home to Australia from Nouméa, New Caledonia, and is due in about five days.

Oli wanted friends and family to follow his passage, so he's sharing his position from his Scout on Polaris Track.

Follow along live in chart, globe or chase view, turn on the weather overlays, and compare forecast models to see the wind and waves along his route.

Follow Oli on Supertramp, or see how Polaris Track works, see the link in the comments

Polaris Track is included with every Scout.
