Pelorus
Ditch the spreadsheets. Just cruise.
Pelorus turns complex data — tides, fuel, and locks — into a single actionable plan. And for your time off the boat, Ashore curates the best local shopping and events. From the helm to the harbor, we’ve got you covered.
Pick two points on the Loop — live tides, weather, bridges. Real plan in <60 seconds. No email required.

Jen and Rob
We joined AGLCA in 2025 and are relocating to coastal North Carolina this year to find our boat! Pelorus started as a personal solution for our own helm, but it’s grown into something much bigger: a daily plan designed to help every Looper cruise with confidence. We’re building it for our dream and yours!
On the horizon
What we’re building next
The demo is the helm and the harbor. Here’s what comes next.
- Your Wake. Track every leg you plan, see your Loop progress traced on the map, and get a proper celebration when you cross your own wake.
- Harbor Hosts. When you tie up tonight, see if there’s a fellow Looper nearby who’d welcome a visit.
- Off-list stops. Anchor-out at a river bend, a marina we don’t know yet, your favorite gunkhole — plan to anywhere the charts allow.
- Plan share links. Drop a one-tap link in your AGLCA chapter chat — no retyping the start, end, and weather.
- Native apps. iOS first, then Android — for when you’re on the boat and the marina Wi-Fi is the marina Wi-Fi.
We’re building one thing at a time. If something on this list is the thing for you, tell us — it shapes what ships first.
