Skipper is a modern iOS app that allows you to automate your marine logbook, keep a permanent record of your sailing or boating activity and share your coastal cruises with your friends and family.
- Keep track of your records: maximal trip duration, longest trip distance or top speed.
- See detailed stats around your trips: total number of navigations, average speed, total sailed distance, and total navigated duration.
- See trip data like elapsed time, trip distance, current course and speed.
- No additional sensor needed, just grab your device and embark! However, Skipper cannot be used as replacement for Automatic Identification System (AIS).
The user friendly design is super intuitive: Skipper is simple enough to be used by amateurs, yet powerful enough to be used by professional skippers in conjunction with boat instruments.
- Automatically and securely store all your trips so you can access your entire sailing & boating history from your device.
- Show friends and family where you’ve been by sharing your trips on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email or text message.
- Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease your device’s battery life: it is recommend to connect the device to a power outlet.
- Export your adventures as GPX or KML files for quick importing in other applications (Google Earth & Google Maps for example).
Handy if you are already using another application to record all your activities and if you don't want to lose your navigation history.
- Autostart recording on movement (when your current speed is above a minimum specified speed).
- Monitor your nautical activities in real-time with your iPhone or iPad’s GPS, even when you’re offline.
- Track your exact position with built-in maps (provided by Apple).

I used BoatingLogbook to log my voyages in the last couple of weeks and I am very impressed. Easy to use and accurate. It would be nice if there was the possibility to upload photos in the log.

If you're a boater of any kind then buy BoatingLogbook! Sailors will certainly take delight but it would still be enjoyable for a motor on the lake. I spent a long time looking for a decent weather app for sailing. I still hadn't found anything that beat listening to the radio until now!
I found BoatingLogbook on Product Hunt where it is called a "Runkeeper for your boat". True, and I think I'm really going to enjoy that feature! But it also is the best marine weather app, and that feature is just thrown in! Beautiful interface, very useful app.
Glad there's a sailing savvy developer out there with a good eye for design.

Nothing functional about BoatingLogbook

Have used Skipper for over a year to track my rowing on San Francisco Bay. Great maps, satellite views and ability to share to Facebook, Twitter etc all directly from iPhone. Thanks Skipper!

1. Clean, simple look.
2. Shows only the data I want for logging kayak/sailing lake trips.
3. Color-coded speed and milage on map display.
4. Average wind recorded.
5. Multiple map types are available.
6. Wind forecast is helpful.
7. Good price for the above!
I hope future versions might include an option to add photos to a specific sail.

BoatingLogbook worked until I upgraded to iOS7. Do not purchase until they fix it.

So Far the set up is pretty easy! I have made suggestions that the developers add other chat formats such as iOS messages. There are many people like myself that prefer not to join into the facebook or twitter platforms. That being said I’m not able to use messenger unless I join facebook.
I’m getting this all ready though we are still shopping for that perfect new chapter in our lives. Our boat is to become our new home. We will sell our home and become permanent live aboard.
So as time draws nearer and we find our new home we will be updating our review of BoatingLogbook. For our records and for insurance purposes BoatingLogbook will be used for many different purposes. I shall tell everyone just how well BoatingLogbook can handle everything. So Far So Good!!

I love my skipper app! I use it every time I paddle or sail. It feels like a personal, friendly app that I like taking it along with me on my adventures. It’s great for tracking my time on the water. It’s affordable too

I am a novice paddler. I have only used BoatingLogbook a couple of time and it does pretty much everything I hoped it would. However it did shut down when I stopped in one place for a while to watch a school of fish on the surface. I may have to adjust the settings to account for longer sightseeing stops. That may earn it the 5th star once I figure it all out!!!
