He was always looking for new places to explore on the water, but finding those destinations often depended on knowing the right people or having local knowledge. While navigation apps and online communities had transformed the way people explored on land, Foulk saw an opportunity to create something built specifically for boaters: a way to discover, plan, and navigate new adventures on the water.

With the support of an experienced development team, Foulk set out to create an app that combined marine navigation with the knowledge and experiences of the boating community. Before Argo, boaters had to rely on a mix of different tools and resources to plan, navigate, and share their adventures.

Like the legendary ship it was named after, Argo was built to inspire exploration. Today, the app helps boaters confidently plan routes, navigate unfamiliar waters, and capture every adventure, while our team continues to expand the platform based on feedback from the people who use it every day.

Whether you’re looking for route ideas, destination recommendations, or advice from experienced boaters, the Argo community is always growing, making it easier than ever to discover what’s waiting beyond the next harbor.

Today, Argo is part of Argo Technologies, a company focused on building innovative tools for life on the water.

In 2026, Argo Technologies acquired SpotOn Fishing, a fishing navigation app known for its high-resolution bathymetric maps and advanced weather visualization. Together, the two platforms combine SpotOn’s detailed mapping with Argo’s intelligent autorouting technology.

As both apps continue to grow, users will benefit from faster innovation and more powerful tools for navigation, route planning, weather, fishing, and exploring new waters.
