Rivanaut: Boat Navigation

Marine charts & route planner

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Cruise Europe's rivers and canals with confidence: vessel-aware route planning, live water levels, turn-by-turn navigation, anchor watch and Apple Watch. Rivanaut turns your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch into a modern chartplotter for Europe's inland waterways. Plan a trip across rivers, canals and lakes, follow live navigation on the water, and find the marina, lock or fuel dock you need — all in one app. PLAN SMARTER ROUTES • Automatic waterway routing that follows real rivers, canals and the buoyed fairway — not straight lines across land. • Vessel-aware: enter your boat's draft, air draft, beam and length and Rivanaut avoids bridges, locks and shallows it can't pass (where data exists). • Multi-stop trips and a multi-day cruise planner with suggested overnight harbours. NAVIGATE WITH CONFIDENCE • Live cockpit: speed, course, distance-to-go, ETA and cross-track error. • Day / dusk / night chart palettes and north-up / head-up / course-up orientation. • Voice and haptic alerts for waypoints, off-route and over-speed. • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, plus a full Apple Watch app. KNOW THE WATER • Live water levels from official gauges in Germany (PEGELONLINE), the Netherlands (Rijkswaterstaat) and France (Vigicrues). • Weather and wind forecasts along your route. • Speed limits and depth soundings overlays where mapped. POINTS OF INTEREST • Marinas, harbours, locks, slipways, moorings, fuel and waterside restaurants. • Save favourites and add them straight to your route. ANCHOR WATCH & LOGBOOK • Drop anchor, set a swing radius and get a repeating alarm if you drag — even with the screen locked. • Automatic trip recording with distance, time and speed, GPX import/export and a logbook. • Track running costs and see boating statistics. OFFLINE READY • Download whole regions — maps, POIs and routing — to navigate without a signal. SAFETY FIRST Rivanaut is a planning and information tool, not a certified navigation system. Always check water levels, closures, locks, bridge clearances and local regulations from official sources before setting out. Rivanaut Pro (auto-renewing subscription) • Monthly or yearly plans; the price is shown in the app before you buy. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://rivanaut.donner.io/terms Privacy Policy: https://rivanaut.donner.io/privacy
