What's New in BlueHelm Boating
2.3.0
October 20, 2026
One plan, and a free trial of every Premium feature: 5 days each of the Premium chart, asking your boat and the week ahead. A day is a 24-hour pass you start with a tap. No credit card, nothing automatic. Premium is $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year, for up to three boats. The map with your position, anchor watch, SOS, nearby places and today's conditions are free forever. Compare: see what the Premium chart shows at your spot, next to the free map. Speak instead of typing: tap the microphone to ask your boat, answer its questions, add details to an answer, or dictate a note. Conditions lead with what the nearest weather station is reporting now, not only the forecast.
