About

Past the reef there is no signal. Insight Travel is built around that. Everything that decides a day at sea is computed on your phone, from data that ships inside the app: the tides, the reef-pass windows, the dive windows, the morning briefing, the island guides, the emergency procedures. Weather is the only thing that needs a connection, and it is cached with its age shown on screen. 266 CURATED SPOTS Across six Society Islands and two Tuamotu atolls: 62 anchorages with holding and shelter notes, 43 dive sites with briefings and certification levels, 22 reef passes with transit guidance, plus hikes, marinas, kite spots, provisioning, dining and medical. THE TRIP CLOCK Every day of the charter drawn as a single 24-hour band — darkness, low sun, the hours the reef reads well, pass transit brackets, dive windows — so you can see the shape of a day before you plan it. Export the whole trip as a PDF for the chart table. The solar layers are exact for any date, years ahead, with no connection. PLANNING THAT ARGUES BACK Day-by-day itineraries with alternatives the crew can vote on. Rework a Day ranks the ways today could go against the forecast, the tide, where the boat actually is and what your crew is certified for, and anything ruled out says why instead of quietly disappearing. Passage planning between islands, checklists, a provisioning planner and a trip log. WEATHER AND TIDE Wind and gusts on the Beaufort scale, swell, temperature, and a seven-day view that tells you which days are worth sailing. Tides from harmonic constants fitted to the French hydrographic service's published predictions, with the station behind each island named on screen. Pass windows combine tide with sun angle, because a reef you cannot read is a reef you should not enter. Dive windows timed to the water and checked against your crew's certifications. A morning briefing that opens with the one thing deciding the day — the weather gate, the passage, or the boat not being where the plan thinks it is — rather than reciting the forecast. ON DECK Anchor Watch with drag alerts, a Lock Screen Live Activity and a home screen widget, so the boat is watched while you sleep. A countdown to the next workable reef pass. Offline emergency procedures for man overboard, fire, flooding, dismasting, grounding, medical and diving emergencies, with French Polynesian rescue contacts. Marine Protected Area boundaries, DPAM anchorage rules, and a customs tracker for port entry, exit and bond requirements. Download the trip before you leave and it pins the charts for every anchorage, pass and dive site on your itinerary, showing you the megabytes before it moves any of them. ISLAND STORIES Sourced passages on the history, legends and archaeology of where you are heading, delivered as you approach. Cook's third visit to Opunohu. The fish traps at Maeva. The marae at Taputapuatea. WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM Every figure carries its provenance. Tide times name their station and say when they are modelled rather than tabulated. Photographs carry their photographer and licence, and generated illustrations are labelled as illustrations on the picture itself. Island passages cite their sources. No account to create. No analytics. No advertising. No third-party SDK of any kind. IMPORTANT Insight Travel is a planning and reference aid. It is not a navigation system and must not be used as one. Tides, dive windows and pass windows are modelled, not official tables. Anchor Watch is an aid, not a substitute for keeping watch. Always carry official charts and tide tables and verify anything that matters against them.

What's New in Insight Travel

THE TRIP CLOCK — every day of the charter as a single 24-hour band: darkness, low sun, the hours the reef reads well, pass transit brackets and dive windows. Export the trip as a PDF for the chart table. The solar layers are exact for any date, years ahead, with no connection; only the tide-derived windows are modelled, and the screen says which is which. REWORK A DAY — the ways today could go, ranked against the forecast, the tide, where the boat actually is and what the crew is certified for. Every factor shows the number behind it and where that number came from, and anything ruled out tells you why instead of quietly disappearing. THE TUAMOTUS — Rangiroa and Fakarava arrive with their own spots, their own passes and their own tide, which is a different tide from the Society Islands rather than the same one relabelled. 266 curated spots in total. DOWNLOAD THE TRIP — pins the charts for every anchorage, pass and dive site on your itinerary before you leave, and shows you the megabytes before it moves any of them. A countdown to the next workable reef pass, live on the Lock Screen. Night sailing no longer flattens a caution into a danger: under the red wash, the two now differ by shape as well as colour. And a lot of quieter work underneath: safety text that scales with Dynamic Type instead of sitting at 9 point, tide times that stay in the destination's timezone wherever your phone thinks it is, bearings that say whether they are true, deleted trips recoverable for 30 days, and generated illustrations marked as illustrations on the picture itself.
