Binnen Skipper

Binnen Skipper is your digital companion on five Bavarian lakes: Chiemsee, Lake Starnberg, Ammersee, Tegernsee and Großer Brombachsee. Made by sailors for real life on the water – prepared separately for every lake, clear and easy to use. “Chiemsee Skipper” is now “Binnen Skipper”: the app is free of charge, and your Chiemsee stays exactly as it was – with all trips and settings. Anyone who bought the app before keeps the full feature set. FREE – AND STAYING FREE Safety costs nothing here.
