Because planning a day out shouldn't need a manual.
Most navigation apps are excellent — and complicated. Layers, menus, settings, subscriptions: by the time you have drawn a line the morning breeze is gone. Boat Trip was built the other way round. It does the few things you need before casting off, and nothing else. If you can tap a map, you can use it.
Three steps, about a minute.
Draw the route
Tap the chart to drop waypoints. Drag a pin to move it, click a leg to add a waypoint in the middle, remove one from the list. Coordinates can also be typed in.
Set speed and departure
Enter your speed in knots. With a free account, add the time you leave and your boat's cruising speed and fuel consumption.
Read your plan
Every leg shows distance in nautical miles, course and time. Every waypoint shows when you will be there and the wind at that moment.
Routes, times and wind — in one place.
Courses and distances
Each leg shows its length in nautical miles and the course to steer, exactly as drawn on the chart. Give your waypoints names like “Punta Pizzo” or “Fuel dock”.
Times and ETA
Your speed gives the time of every leg and the total time underway. Set a departure time and you get the arrival time at each waypoint and at the end.
Wind and waves when you're there
Next to every waypoint: wind direction, knots, gusts and wave height, for the hour you arrive — with a green, amber or red signal based on your boat's limits.
Safety checks
Warnings when a leg seems to cross land, when you would arrive after sunset, or when the fuel needed eats into your reserve.
Fuel for motor boats
Enter your consumption in litres per hour and your tank: see the fuel for each leg, the whole trip and how much of the tank it takes.
Weather on the chart
Switch on wind arrows coloured by strength, the live rain radar and cloud cover, right on top of the nautical chart with its buoys and lights.
Your spots and home port
Save anchorages, beaches, fuel docks and ports, and add them to a route with one tap. The chart always opens at your home port.

Plan with it, navigate with care. Boat Trip is a planning aid, not a navigation instrument. Always check official nautical charts, notices to mariners and the marine weather bulletin before you leave, and keep a proper lookout at sea.
