New in 2.0: a new look, and your crew aboard
Your boat on its own screen, with a bar for the Helm, Find, a + for anything new, Show and More. On iPad and Mac each place is a tile showing what's going on, and you can arrange it your way.
Share a boat with the people who sail on her, each with the role you choose. Crew don't pay: your subscription covers your boats. Each log entry, to-do and expense says who wrote it.
One search across the whole boat, and voyages planned week by week: the stops, fuel, the weather on arrival and what it will cost. If you've used Boat Manager before, you start on the screens you know, and your data is as it was.
And Boat Manager runs on the Mac too, included in your purchase, on the same iCloud account as your iPhone and iPad.
A boat accumulates a lot of knowledge.
Service records. Equipment specs. Insurance documents. Fuel logs. The name of the impeller you replaced two seasons ago.
Most of it ends up scattered — a notebook in the nav station, photos on a phone, a folder in email, a memory that turns out to be wrong when you're standing in a chandlery.
Boat Manager was built to hold all of it in one place: every boat, every log, every document, every maintenance record — synced automatically across your devices and still fully usable offline underway.
What it holds
- Any number of boats in one account — your main boat, a dinghy or tender, and the history of boats you've owned or served on in the past
- Every boat's specs, admin details, and equipment — with photos and documents attached to any of it
- Every expense, from fuel to the yard bill, with its receipt — and what the boat really costs, a year at a time
- A full logbook: daily log, fuel, pumpout, generator, and maintenance, all linked together
- A planned-maintenance library with schedules, checklists, and reminders synced to Apple Reminders and Calendar
- Safety checklists — the USCG Vessel Safety Check and Required Equipment ready to run — with a report, a task for every failure, and a PDF on the boat's papers
- Crew, waypoints, and float plans — including a USCG-style float plan you can generate and share as a PDF
- A boat shared with your crew, each with the role you choose, and free for them
- Voyages planned week by week, with fuel, the weather on arrival and what they'll cost
- Everything backed up to iCloud automatically, and exportable to CSV any time
Built by a Master Mariner
Boat Manager is a personal project by a former USCG-credentialed Master Mariner and former Royal Navy officer. It started as the way to keep one boat organized, refined over several thousand miles underway, before becoming something other boat owners could use too.
