About this app

First Mate is the planning companion for overnight and multi-day trips on the water. Whether you are running down the coast or crossing to the islands, it helps you leave the dock ready instead of hoping you didn't forget something.

Plan the whole trip in one place. Work out how much food, water, and fuel you need for the people and days aboard. Build a packing list you can check off. Set a watch schedule so everyone knows when they are on and when they can sleep. Keep marina and docking details, trip notes, and a holding-tank checklist all in one spot.

Record your track as you go and see where you have been, with a clear start and end marker on the map. The maps are built on the same charts sailors already know, and you can save map areas ahead of time so they work when you are offshore with no signal.

One account works across your phone and your PC. Plan a trip on the big screen at home, carry it in your pocket on the water, and look back at the whole story when you get home.

The app works free and offline. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks the full set of planning tools. There is no subscription.

First Mate is a planning aid for recreational boaters. It is not official Coast Guard guidance and does not replace proper charts, a float plan, or your own judgment on the water.
