About

The Cruising App

Read full description

Cruisy is the complete record of your boat, built for people who actually use theirs. Keep every system on board organised — engines, rigging, electrics, plumbing, safety gear — with your own categories and sub-categories. Under each one, store what matters: • SERVICE HISTORY — log every service with the date, who did it, and the invoice or report attached. • MANUALS — keep PDFs and documents for each piece of equipment where you'll actually find them. • NOTES — quick reminders about quirks, part numbers and settings. • PHOTOS — a gallery per system, so you can show an engineer exactly what you're looking at. • SPECIFICATIONS — the numbers you always need and can never remember. Beyond the systems themselves: • CHECKLISTS — build your own pre-departure, haul-out and handover lists, and tick them off as you go. • MEDICAL EQUIPMENT & SPARES — track what's aboard and what's running low. • CONTACTS — your yard, riggers, surveyors, marina offices and crew, grouped how you want them. • SHARING — send a checklist or record to crew or a contractor. WORKS OFFLINE This is the part that matters at sea. After you sign in once, Cruisy stores everything on your phone. Add a service record mid-passage, tick off a checklist in an anchorage with no bars, photograph a failed part offshore — it all saves instantly and syncs by itself the moment you're back in signal. Whether you're a weekend sailor, a liveaboard or running a boat professionally, Cruisy replaces the folder of damp paperwork in the chart table. SUBSCRIPTIONS Cruisy offers three annual auto-renewable subscriptions: Basic ($3.95/year), Pro ($13.95/year) and Premium ($19.95/year). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. Prices are in USD and may vary by region.
