We have specialized in the development of continuous tidal-current models at many locations in the US, around the UK and elsewhere around the world, as well as unique tactical/routing software that exploits the non-uniform current to find the quickest route, with or without variations in the wind.
For details see http://www.goflow.com/ and http://www.goflow.com/advantge.htm.
For some really unique tactical computations involving currents, see http://www.goflow.com/superif.htm (the functions shown there are part of the newer Advantage program).
