About

SKipper App

Features

Read full description

SKipper, as the name suggests, is an application for helping you operate your boat. The first two letters, "SK", are capitalized because SKipper uses the Signal K protocol, and can display any data available on a Signal K server. If your Signal K installation uses relays or any SignalK PUT-capable device, SKipper can also control them.
