Trip tracking, maintenance, ship's log, documents, and safety — all in one app built for real boat owners.
Web + iOS · Free during beta · No credit card required
Maintenance history in spreadsheets, registration in a drawer, service receipts in a pile.
Can't access your records from a laptop at the marina or on a mechanic's computer.
One-size-fits-all maintenance lists that don't know if you have a diesel inboard or an electric outboard.
~190 curated maintenance items filtered to your exact engine type — gas, diesel, or electric; inboard, outboard, or sterndrive. Customize what you track and get reminders before things go wrong.
Background GPS recording starts when you leave the dock and stops when you return. Adaptive frequency based on your speed. Engine hours logged automatically. Your logbook fills itself.
Full web access from any browser — review your records at the marina office, check maintenance history before a service appointment, or manage documents from your desk. iOS app syncs automatically.
Generate a live tracking link before you depart. Family or the coast guard can watch your position in real-time from any browser — no app required.
A unified timeline of trips, maintenance events, log entries, and photos. Attach photos to log entries. Your vessel's full history in one place.
Store registration, insurance, surveys, and safety equipment records. Set expiry dates and get reminders 30 days before anything lapses.
