Weather apps show you the wind. Should I Sail tells you yes or no for your boat, and why.
Tap anywhere on the sea. You get a verdict for the hour you picked: Yes, Challenging, Requires Safety Gear, Only go if you must, or No. It is scored for the boat you sail, so a 12 m cruiser and a RIB get different answers in the same conditions. Under the verdict, one line says what drove it: "Waves 1.1 m, more than the 1.0 m your boat is comfortable with."

THE FORECAST
Hourly marine weather for any point of sea in the world, 9 days ahead: wind and gusts, wave height and direction, swell, current, visibility and rain. Flick through the days and hours and watch the verdict change. The best window for the week is picked out for you.
ANY BOAT
Jet ski, RIB, motor cruiser, dinghy, keelboat, catamaran, offshore yacht. Pick yours once and every verdict is tuned to it.
ON THE WATER
Your boat follows live GPS with heading and speed over ground. Depth shading and contours, distance rings around you, a measuring tape, and the OpenSeaMap nautical overlay with buoys and hazards. Record your track in the background; it keeps going with the screen off and stops by itself when you reach shore.
DEPARTURE CHECKLIST
A pre-departure checklist built for your boat type: weather, documents, safety gear, engine, rig, deck, crew. Tick it off at the dock, add your own items, and it works with no signal.
