“We have used your service on Queen of Diamonds for 10 years and also on other boats prior to that. You have always been accurate, and we sail with utmost faith on your recommendations. You have guided us over all the 5 oceans and also the 7 seas.”

Ian van der Watt – Captain, M/Y Queen of Diamonds


Has your trip ever been delayed due to bad weather - or even worse: you have been delayed because of a less than perfect internet forecast, only to find out later you missed the best conditions possible! That is why you need a professionally trained WRI meteorologist to provide a clear and accurate forecast, so you may make the correct decision. 

For over 40 years, Weather Routing has established a reputation as an accurate and reliable forecasting center. WRI is NUMBER ONE in the world for yacht forecast services. We take our reputation seriously; we know that people's lives and property depend on our forecasts. 

Our meteorologists forecast for every corner of the globe on a daily basis. Our yacht clientele include over one-third of the worlds largest yachts as seen in Power & Motoryacht magazine.

Accurate weather information is vital to ensuring a safe and comfortable voyage, regardless of which region of the world you travel. Are you worried about gale force northerly winds in the Gulf Of Tehuantepec? We’ll tell you when and where to stop, and when it is safe to transit again. Does your summer cruising schedule take your vessel across the Atlantic and into the ever changing Mediterranean weather? Our experienced meteorologists will get you there avoiding mid-latitude gales, and Gulf Du Lion wind surges. You can be assured your vessel will arrive in a timely fashion, while always keeping the safety of the vessel, crew, and guests in mind. 

WRI forecasts are individually prepared, based on your specific location, for your particular vessel and needs. Our goal is to keep the Captain fully aware of any weather system that could affect the vessel. 

While underway, we maintain constant surveillance over your forecast and intended route until safe arrival. Our meteorologists are available 24-hours a day for consultation. We guarantee that every time you call our office you will speaking directly with a meteorologist that can assist you. It's like having your own private weatherman aboard! 

During Tropical Season we can automatically monitor and notify your vessel should it be threatened by a developing system. This is a FREE service we offer to our clients. Please check out our Tropical Surveillance page for further details. 

For an additional fee, we also provide climatological studies for captains who wish to begin planning their routes weeks to months in advance. WRI can also provide current and future forecast maps. 


“With Valkyrie’s challenging and often demanding global itinerary, weather is always at the forefront of my mind. Having so many different destinations and routes, at so many times of the year, it is vital that I have the most accurate and up to date weather information at hand or a phone call away. Even though on board we have excellent weather forecasting abilities, I never hesitate to call or email WRI for a professional opinion, which is usually deadly accurate. Having used WRI for the past 5 years for forecasts, route planning, climatological studies, and tropical surveillance, I cannot speak highly enough of their services and will continue to use their expertise in helping keep Valkyrie and her guests and crew safe on our ventures.” 

Martin DeBanks- Captain, M/Y Valkyrie
