If you've ever wanted to know where the car barge is on it's route between STT and STJ or how many cruise ships are in harbor today, or what lucky 1% er is on the beautiful yacht anchored off of St John? Well there's an app (and a website) for that!

You can track these vessels via the Marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) system located at this website. Pretty cool stuff.

I don't see the STJ passenger ferry's, so they must be too cheap to have an AIS transponder on board.

Also, they have an app for iPhones at the Apple App Store. Search for the app: marinetraffic

The free app will do you no good, but the correct app is $3.99

Have fun boat tracking

Ok, that is officially cool. When I sit on the deck in 3 weeks with my binoculars in hand, I will now know what I am gawking at! Thanks for the link.

Not much privacy left in the world - but an amazing collection of data and extremely interesting site to explore with a lot of features.

I see the Seadream is off Cruz Bay. If we were to cruise, It would be on one of these 250 or so passenger liners.
