RYA SafeTrx To Be Discontinued and Closed Down
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2025 2:00 pm
Just got a message from the RYA via their FB App that SafeTrx will close down on the 31 December 2025. Apparently in consultation with HM Coastguard, new technology means that the App is no longer worth it.

RYA SafeTrx is closing. The vessel tracking, safety and communications platform will be discontinued at the end of this month, from 31 December.
Although we are sorry to see RYA Safetrx come to an end, the decision to close has been made by the RYA in discussion with HM Coastguard, due to advances in technology since the app was created.
We are working together with HM Coastguard to ensure that the data originally provided to RYA SafeTrx will be transferred to a secure database within HM Coastguard. Users that do not want their data to be transferred to HM Coastguard are asked to delete their account prior to the app closing on 31 December 2025.
HM Coastguard’s search and rescue services remain fully operational, alongside all other safety measures, equipment and resources.
