”Please keep an eye out for Dave and Maureen Trumble on SV Andiamo. They’re very capable sailors, but elderly and a bit frayed around the edges. Andiamo is a 1975 Islander 36, also a bit frayed, with the typical blue trim and a wind vane. Their engine doesn’t work. They left Vava’U, Tonga for Fiji on the 3rd or 4th of October.”

Boat Watch is a free, all-volunteer service, run by Cruisers.
It’s all about Cruisers Helping Cruisers locating boats worldwide.

The motivation for a “Boat Watch” organization dates back to 1998 when members of the Ham and Maritime Radio Services were contacted to broadcast a “BOLO” (Be On the LookOut) for vessels overdue at their intended destination, or had gone all together missing.

Since then, BoatWatch.org has become recognized as the authority and repository for information on Overdue, Missing and Stolen Vessels throughout the world. BoatWatch.org works closely with the USCG Rescue Coordination Centers around the country and the world. We have successfully located over 100 vessels, many in record time, through the use of High Frequency (HF or Ham) radio, this website*, and our Facebook Group “Boat Watch.”
If you have lost track of a loved one, friend or fellow cruiser at sea, or you need to contact them with an urgent message, we can help. Learn what we do at BoatWatch.org, and how we may be able to help you locate them.
