## What is Boater's Companion?

Your life on the water - more organized.

Boater’s Companion does a lot more than log your trips. For your sailing dinghy, super yacht, and everything in between, we’ll help you keep your vessel’s safety gear current, documents organized, parts inventory up to date, manuals at hand, and voyages documented in real time. We’ll even track sea time for you and the crew!

THE ESSENTIALS ARE FREE, FOREVER
Set up your boat, its systems and safety gear, checklists, float plans, and the crew’s emergency contacts at no cost, and you can back everything up to a file you keep. With a subscription, tell the complete story of your fleet, the crew, and so much more!

SAFETY GEAR, KEPT CURRENT (free)
Life rafts, EPIRBs, flares, fire extinguishers, PLBs, life jackets: most of it has an expiration date. Is all your gear current? Boater’s Companion tracks expiration dates and service intervals for every piece of safety equipment aboard, and reminds you before anything comes due.

KNOW YOUR VESSEL INSIDE AND OUT (free)
Configure a full inventory of every system aboard, from engines and thrusters to sails and seacocks. Record make, model, serial numbers and specs in as much detail as you want.

CHECKLISTS (free)
Checklists for every part of boating life: what to pack before you leave the house, what to check before you leave the dock, what to tackle at the next haul-out, and what to grab at the boat supply store. Regain the time that forgetting something wastes! 

FLOAT PLANS (free)
Generate float plans from a pre-populated template to share with someone onshore before you leave the dock.

CREW (free; sea time tracking with a subscription)
Build a profile for everyone who sails with you. Link to their existing contacts on your phone and store emergency contact information. Subscribers can track sea time and export it to PDF for their records.

MAINTENANCE, SIMPLIFIED (subscription)
Log maintenance across every system: engines, generators, watermaker, standing rigging, electronics, and more. Record who did the work, where, and when, with receipts, pictures and documents always at hand.

PARTS & SUPPLIES (subscription)
Track spares with part numbers, minimum quantities, the systems they fit, and where they’re stored. Know what you have on hand, and know where to find it when you need it!

TRIP LOG & GPS TRACKING (subscription)
Record every passage. Start a live trip and Boater’s Companion records your GPS track automatically, even with the screen off, or log trips manually. Your complete voyage history is always organized and accessible.

DOCUMENTS, ALWAYS WITH YOU WHEN YOU NEED THEM (subscription)
Scan and store registration papers, insurance certificates, manuals, surveys, work estimates, and receipts for every vessel and every system on board.

MORE BOATS AND iCLOUD SYNC (subscription)
Add your whole fleet, and keep your records up to date on all your devices with iCloud sync. Works offline, too: your records are always on your device.

SUBSCRIPTION
The essentials are free. A subscription unlocks everything above, with a 1-month free trial for new subscribers. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. If a subscription ends, nothing is deleted: your records stay on your device to view and export.
