DockTalk
Schiff-QR & Hafen-Chat
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Always reachable in the harbour – no phone number. Message via QR code, chat with crew and neighbouring boats, find marinas and keep an eye on your ship.
When something happens to your boat, people need to reach you right away — even when you're not aboard. That's exactly what DockTalk is for — plus everything that makes harbour life easier.
ALWAYS REACHABLE — EVEN WITHOUT THE APP
Your boat gets a QR code to attach. If someone spots a problem — a line came loose, a fender is missing, water aboard, someone tampering with the boat — they scan the code and reach you within seconds. They need NO account and NO app. And you never reveal your phone number. Same for bikes, dinghies & more: one QR sticker and your gear is traceable to you.
DOCK RADIO & AREA CHATS
Your home harbour chat: leave a note, ask about the weather, plan the harbour evening. All boats at the dock in one place. Plus area chats for your whole sailing region.
DIRECT, GROUPS & CREW
Message other skippers directly, start groups or keep your crew up to date — with photos, videos and tappable links. Sign on new crew easily via QR code.
LOOKOUT
Find boats and skippers by name, DT number or MMSI — and throw them a line.
MOORED SHIPS & RAFT-UPS
Stay in touch with befriended boats. Rafted up alongside? One shared chat for all boats.
DISCOVER HARBOURS
Harbours with facilities, photos, ratings and sailing-area filter — plus personal notes and tips for the surroundings. Check in via GPS when you moor and free up your berth when you leave. As Harbour Pilot you take care of your harbour and keep its details up to date. Operators manage the harbour map, berths, occupancy and guest requests right in the app.
HOME HARBOUR
Officially assign your boat to its home harbour — with dock radio, member list and everything that comes with it.
HARBOUR WATCH & KNOTS
Look after your neighbours' boats and report "all OK" — earn knots, ranks and a spot on the Harbour Watch leaderboard. Active skippers unlock Skipper+ (free, no purchase).
EVENTS
Harbour parties, regattas, get-togethers: discover events, RSVP and get reminders.
REGATTAS
Discover regattas in your sailing area, enter your boat and crew, and follow the race live: boat tracks on the sea chart, leaderboard with yardstick and series scoring. Organisers run their regatta entirely in the app — from entries to finish-line scoring.
CREW WANTED
The crew exchange: post your trip or find a free bunk — applications run directly via chat.
WEATHER
The 7-day forecast for your harbour or current position — always at hand.
BOAT SIGN
Download your print-ready QR boat sign straight from the app — or order it printed from the shop.
TRAVEL BLOG & AREA BLOG
Record your trips in your own travel blog and share them via link — without any third-party platform. The area blog brings you stories and tips from your sailing region.
GOOD TO KNOW
Hand-picked YouTube channels and links about sailing and motorboating — right in the app.
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
DockTalk speaks English, German, Dutch and French.
PRIVACY FIRST
Sign in with Apple, Google or email. No phone number required. Anyone contacting you via your boat code never sees your personal details. Reporting & blocking keep the community safe, and you can delete your account in the app at any time.
DockTalk — so people reach you when it matters.
