Sailor Croatia vs Shorewise

Boating in Croatia? Sailor shows you in real time how far you are from the nearest detected coast, along with your speed and heading — plus local Adriatic weather, route planning and live navigation. Built for holidaymakers out on a charter boat or their own along the Croatian coast. KEEPING THE 300-METRE RULE IN VIEW In Croatia a motorboat must be at least 300 metres from the coast to go faster than 8 knots; closer in, planing is not allowed. Sailor shows the distance continuously, can highlight the 300-metre zone around your boat, and warns you when you are going too fast close to shore. FREE — NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT • Distance to coast, speed and heading in real time • Adriatic weather forecast with wind overlay, temperature and precipitation • Explore places: coves, marinas and beaches straight on the map • Hazard markers: rocks, reefs and wrecks from OpenStreetMap seamarks WITH PRO • Coast radar — the 300-metre zone in every direction, for narrow passages • Real-time navigation with estimated arrival times • Route planning — the fastest path that aims to keep at least 300 m from the detected coast, with weather conditions, fuel estimates and route sharing • Lock screen and alerts — distance, heading and navigation progress on the lock screen and Apple Watch, without unlocking your phone • Large, sunlight-adapted display — big numbers and a high-contrast simplified view • Trip recording — route, speed and distance to coast recorded even with the app closed • Trip stories — turn a recorded trip into a video along the coast, with your own photos, your boat name and your stats • Offline areas — download coast data in advance; distance keeps working with no mobile signal WHAT SAILOR DOES NOT DO Sailor is a navigation aid, not a substitute for official nautical charts, a proper lookout or good seamanship. It contains no depth data — routes and navigation account for neither water depth nor your vessel's draft. Distance, coastline and hazard data are estimates and may be inaccurate, delayed or incomplete; not all hazards are shown. Keep a comfortable margin rather than testing the limit.
