Next Generation Software
for the Maritime Industry

Who We Are

NautoShark is a Scottish maritime software company dedicated to building the next generation of digital tools for sailors and shipping professionals. We believe safety-critical information should be fast, accessible, and intuitive — whether you're on the bridge of a SOLAS vessel or planning a leisure passage.

Our products focus on making maritime warning data freely available to everyone at sea — through our Navarea Warnings mobile app and this interactive Navareas Viewer.

Our Mission

Maritime safety relies on timely, accurate information. NautoShark is built around a simple idea: that every mariner — from SOLAS fleets to weekend sailors — should have instant, free access to the warnings that keep them safe at sea.

Meet the Team

NautoShark was founded by two experienced maritime software developers who combine deep industry knowledge with a passion for the sea.
