About this app

OceanPilot is your sea chart, navigation and logbook for sailing — with boat-specific wind routing, weather and an anchor alarm. One tool instead of five apps: from planning your trip at the kitchen table to live navigation out on the water.

SEA CHART & NAVIGATION
• Nautical sea chart with OpenSeaMap sea marks and EMODnet depth data — plus a switchable satellite view
• Live GPS with course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG) and distance rings
• Drop waypoints and draw routes, distances in nautical miles and kilometres
• Measuring tool, place search and “center on position”

SMART SAILING ROUTING (the heart of it)
• Boat-specific wind routing: tacks upwind and gybes downwind using real layline geometry
• Automatically routes around land AND shallows — based on your draft
• Optional weather routing via isochrones
• Audible tack alarm as you approach the turning point

WEATHER & WIND
• Animated wind field, coloured by strength — see the wind before you feel it
• Forecast with wind, rain, temperature and waves

TRIP & LOGBOOK
• Create trips with waypoints, routes and a logbook
• Log entries with position, course, speed, wind and notes
• GPS track recording, GPX export/import and a printable/PDF trip report
• Collect miles — ideal as proof for training and qualifications

BOAT & SAFETY
• Boat profiles (sail and power) with hull, LWL, draft and rig
• Anchor alarm with adjustable radius and drift detection
• Your own places (POIs) with notes and ratings

MEMORIES THAT LAST
• Turn your trip into a printed travel book / photo book
• Invite your crew and share the trip

DESIGN
• Clean, calm marine design that stays readable in bright sunlight
• Light and dark mode — follows your system setting automatically
• Multilingual (German and English)

WHO IS IT FOR?
For skippers (owners and charter) and crew who want to sail more relaxed and safely — with less paperwork, verifiable miles and a logbook that almost writes itself.

GETTING STARTED
