COMMON QUESTIONS

Is GoCoast free to use?

GoCoast is free to download and get started. Core tools like conditions, maps and boat ramp info are available without paying. Premium features including GPS ride recording, full ride history, badges and the community feed require a subscription. Plans are kept affordable so you spend your money on fuel, not the app.

Does it work for boats and jet skis?

Yes. GoCoast is built for both. Set your craft when you sign up - jet ski, boat, or both. The app tailors ramp recommendations, speed zone info and safety checklists to your vessel type.

Where does the conditions data come from?

Conditions are pulled from Bureau of Meteorology marine forecasts and real-time station data. Wind, swell, tide and UV are updated multiple times per day and shown for your specific region.

Is it only for Queensland?

It launched on the Gold Coast, but GoCoast now covers all of Queensland - and we're expanding across Australia. The Strava-style ride logging works anywhere in the world right now.

Do I need an account?

You can browse conditions and maps without signing in. An account is needed for ride logging, the community feed, badges and saving your favourite spots - it takes about 30 seconds to set up.

Does it work offline or in areas with no signal?

GPS ride recording continues without a signal - the route is saved and synced when you're back online. Conditions and maps need a connection to update but cached data is shown when offline.

Checked conditions, found the perfect window, launched at sunrise. Broadwater was glass.

Jordan M · Jet Ski

The ramp finder saved me 40 minutes on a Sunday morning. Now I use it every single trip.

Chris W · Trailer Boatie

Logged 60 rides this season. The badge system keeps me coming back every single weekend.

Sarah T · Gold Coast

Found a snorkel spot I had no idea existed. Drove 15 minutes, best visibility I have had all year.

Matt H · South East QLD

The safety checklist before a long run changed how I think about prep. Genuinely solid app.

Nick D · Boatie

Community feed is surprisingly useful. Local tips you will not find anywhere else online.

Alicia R · Moreton Bay

Used the challenge map on a Saturday arvo. Had three ticked off by lunch. Genuinely fun.

Ben S · Jet Ski

Trip planner for my mate's bucks weekend. Six boats, one plan. Went perfectly on the water.
