About this app

Blue Helm is the all-in-one boating companion built for real boaters. Whether you're anchoring overnight, running a charter, or cruising the coast, Blue Helm puts everything you need in one app — navigation, safety, and peace of mind.

NAVIGATE WITH CONFIDENCE
Blue Helm gives you real NOAA nautical chart overlays so you can see channel markers, depth contours, and hazards right on your screen. Track your journey in real time with speed, distance, and route history. Share your live position with family or crew so they always know where you are.

ANCHOR WATCH — SLEEP SOUNDLY
Drop your anchor, set your line length, and let Blue Helm watch your position while you sleep. If your boat drifts outside your safe zone, you'll get a triple alert — vibration, alarm sound, and push notification. No more waking up every hour to check your position.

JOURNEY TRACKING
Record every trip with automatic GPS logging. See your route on the map, track your speed and distance, and keep a history of everywhere you've been. Share your live location with a simple link — no app required for the person watching.

FLOAT PLANS
Create a detailed safety plan before you leave the dock. Set your destination, expected return time, and passenger count. If you don't check in, your emergency contacts get notified automatically.

MAN OVERBOARD — EMERGENCY SOS
One tap sends your GPS coordinates to your emergency contacts instantly via text and email. Every second counts in a man overboard situation, and Blue Helm makes sure help knows exactly where to go.

BUILT BY A BOATER
Blue Helm isn't built by a tech company that Googled "what do boats need." It's built by a captain who lives aboard a 50ft yacht and uses this app every single day. Every feature exists because it solved a real problem on the water.
