EZ BoatShare vs. Wavve Boating
Wavve Boating gets you there. We handle everything around the trip.
Wavve Boating is a marine navigation app for the helm. EZ BoatShare is the app for sharing, scheduling and running the boat.
Most shared-boat crews end up using both — one for the chart, one for the group.
Wavve Boating is navigation: charts, depth data and routing on your phone instead of a dedicated chartplotter. It's a good answer to 'where am I and how deep is it.' It isn't trying to answer 'whose weekend is this,' 'who owes for fuel,' or 'when was the impeller changed.' That's our half. This page exists because they're often compared, not because they overlap much.
EZ BoatShare
Reservations with ownership-share fairness, swaps and waitlist, shared expense ledger with settle-up, float plans with overdue alerts, maintenance and repair logs, document vault, dues and capital calls, and Salty — an AI first mate trained on your boat's own manuals.
Wavve Boating
A smartphone marine navigation app positioned as an alternative to buying and installing chartplotter hardware, with charts, depth information and routing. Pricing is discussed on their own site.

Why groups switch to us
Nothing to switch — add, don't replace
Keep Wavve for the chart. We handle the calendar, the money, the maintenance and the paperwork.
The arguments happen ashore
Double-booked weekends and unpaid fuel receipts are what break up partnerships, and neither is a navigation problem.
Your float plan should leave with you
File the route and return time in seconds; family gets it, and an overdue check-in raises the alarm automatically.
Common questions
Does EZ BoatShare do navigation?
No, and we don't plan to. We show weather, tides and harbor cams for planning, but the chart stays with your plotter or a navigation app.
How much does Wavve Boating cost?
They publish and explain their pricing on their own site — see the source link below, since plans change.
Can we use both?
Yes, and most crews do. Plan the trip and split the costs with us; run the route with your navigation app.
