Boatie Logbook
Sailing logbook & passage PDF
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now supports retrospective GPX import and Share Track features: turn completed passages into track images and short videos for messages and social!
Boatie Logbook is a sailing logbook built for real passages.
Start the log when you slip lines, capture weather and position at each watch change, review the track afterwards, and export a clean PDF for the boat's paperwork, insurance, or certification.
Designed offline-first. Core logging works without an internet signal — because that's what cruising is actually like. Every new download includes a 10-day preview before you choose a plan.
— BASIC (one-time purchase) —
• Passages with departure / destination, crew, vessel, and timed log entries

— WHO IT'S FOR —
• Skippers documenting sea time for certification, charter applications, or insurance
• Crew building miles on deliveries and club cruises
• Anyone who's scribbled "1200 — changed course 240°" on a soggy notebook
• Delivery skippers who want one PDF per passage and a CSV archive of the season
• Cruisers who want weather, sea state, and position in one place
