I use it nearly every weekend during the summer to check the conditions in the Gulf.....mainly to check the Chlorophyll (water color) in the area, because we freedive quite a bit, and always like to know where the bluewater is, instead of burning gas looking for it!! From what I have seen in 2 years of using it, is that it's very accurate and helpful!! It also shows water temps, salinty, currents, altimetry and even wave height forecast now which all come in handy, the site has been a really helpful tool for me!!

Team FishDancer has been using Hilton's Relatime Navigator since its inception several years back. We use it for both tournament fishing and fun fishing. It allows you great flexibility to watch distant waters (good for long tournament road trips -- I am watching the Tortugas now for a tournament in Key West in 2 weeks) as well as local waters. Temps, salinity, movement, altimetry and chlorophyll all at your fingertips. It is also a good value for the cost and convene....email me if you have specific questions.
I have it. Since I don't usually fish more than 50 miles out, I've not found it as useful as others might. I'm also extremely disappointed in the security system. I registered it on my office computer and then every time I used it from home, I got a message saying that they thought I was sharing my password and threatened to delete my account with no refund. Tom finally straightened it out but left a bad taste in my mouth.
In short, I will not be renewing this year because I just didn't get enough out of it. You can learn more on local forums or at the marina than you can on Hiltons.
Howdy,
I guess it's like anything, such as a lure in your tackle box; if you don't have confidence in it or don't know how to use it properly, it will stay in your tackle box...thus, you are not successful with it.
Most of the top captains who fish offshore are subscribers, and continue to renew as they have experienced success using it.
All the best,
Tom Hilton

We have used Hilton's for 3 years now. Mainly we look at altimetry and sst for blue water trolling. Very pleased with the service. I will be renewing next year.
I have been using Hilton's Relatime Navigator four about 4 year now for king fishing I watch the altimitry I like the king green water. The site is dead on for team playing hooky,team grace and the Big chief. I say go ahead and get it Tom will help you anytime you need him. You can come on here and ask questions. We love the site if you have any question email me i will try to help you.
If you fish for tuna and other warm water species in tropical areas, cloud cover will severely limit up to date info from all the services that I have looked at-
