*** Participate in the implementation of a more respectful yachting***

DONIA is above all a community of enthusiasts who exchange information to make their sailing or motoring trips easier, richer, safer and more respectful. Since 2018, Donia users have helped preserve 76 ha of posidonia from being uprooted by anchoring, why not you?



*** By enthusiasts for enthusiasts***

Created by marine biologists and divers from Andromède Océanologie, Donia aims to make maps of the seabed visible and accessible so that everyone can participate in their protection. In order to take advantage of the famous maritime solidarity, the application responds to the desires of users and listens to them in order to make it an innovative and effective tool for anchoring and protection.



*** DONIA Mooring ***

The DONIA application incorporates the mapping of buoys and mooring boxes into a buoy reservation module called "DONIA Mooring". It integrates, in real time: the availability calendar of these mooring devices, pricing by class of vessel and slots, reservation and management of secure payment via mobile phone.



*** DONIA PREMIUM ***

The Premium version of the application (€24.99 per year, €2.99 per month) gives access to the SHOM (Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine) charts (updated in 2022) as well as nearly 230 high-definition bathymetric charts allowing any user to find new sites of interest, plan diving routes, or even visualise faults and rocky outcrops

Ratings and reviews

App is good for an area to anchor. Subscription didn't give me any worthwhile options or data on mallorca. Weather info is too slow to load up and when it does it's rubbish. Move feature would be to have an option to set the map to the direction you're heading. Better for dropping anchor..

Very useful and important app to have. Takes the guesswork out of where anchor is allowed and, most importantly, prohibited.

I have given location permission only while using the app. Nevertheless the app keeps using lots of power when working in the background. Seems like it is still accessing the GPS. Anyway, it drains the battery in no time. I now make sure to force stop the app after each use. For the rest it is a very useful app.
