Manta: Yacht & Sail Logbook
Track & share your boat trips
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The logbook that logs itself. Manta records every trip automatically — wind, course, maneuvers, and all — then turns it into a map and a story to share.
Every voyage tells a story. Manta makes sure you never lose one.
Manta is the effortless logbook for sailors and boat owners. Start a trip and Manta records it automatically — every passage becomes a map and a story worth keeping.
EFFORTLESS BY DESIGN
• Start a trip and Manta takes over.
• Tacks, jibes, and engine changes are detected automatically through high-end motion analysis.
• Wave height is estimated right from the boat's movement.
• Manual entries take two taps: weather, sail changes, sightings, notes, photos.
• Recording continues on your Lock Screen, with quick actions at hand.
BUILT FOR REAL BOATS
• Record what matters from your instruments: wind, weather, course, speed, depth, and engine state.
• Manta builds your boat's own polar charts from real data.
• See exactly how she performs on every point of sail.
YOUR JOURNEYS, YOUR STORIES
• Turn any trip into a written story — your photos fall right into place.
• Edit and tweak every story until it's truly yours.
• Share your adventures with friends, family, and crew.
RELIVE EVERY PASSAGE
• Replay any trip like a film: your boat moves along the chart while wind, speed, and depth play back exactly as they were.
• Dive into charts for speed, depth, heel, wind, and performance.
EVERYTHING IN ORDER
• Livetrack or import GPX tracks from your plotter or other apps.
• Manage, filter, merge, and edit your journeys with ease.
• iCloud sync keeps every trip current across all your devices.
YOURS, AND YOURS ALONE
• No account, no sign-up.
• Your trips live on your devices and in your private iCloud — we couldn't read them if we wanted to.
• The whole logbook works offline, far from any harbor.
MANTA PRO
The logbook is free, without limits. Manta Pro adds the full connection to your boat:
• Record live NMEA data from your instruments.
• Log from several devices on your network at once — helm, nav station, or below deck.
• Manage multiple boats.
• AI-generated, detailed trip stories.
• Web sharing and a live dashboard for family and friends.
Your first instrumented trip is on the house.
Whether on inland waters or the open Atlantic — Manta is the only logbook you'll ever need.
