Boat logbook & GPS tracker

A passage should leave more than a line on a map.

BoatWorks Pro turns departure, arrival, route, operating state, notes, photos and conditions into a durable trip record.

Boat trip GPS breadcrumb route and passage log

Manual when you want it. Automatic when it matters.

Anchor includes manual trip logging for free. Cruiser adds automatic phone-GPS breadcrumbs so the track can build in the background while you handle the boat.

  • Departure, arrival, notes and trip photos.
  • Phone-GPS breadcrumb route capture.
  • Operating context such as anchored, sailing or motoring.
  • Maps and route history kept with the vessel.

A logbook designed for boating, not workouts

Generic GPS trackers answer distance and speed. A vessel log also needs to explain what the boat was doing: moored, anchored, adrift, sailing, motor-sailing or motoring. That context makes the route intelligible months later.

Export a useful record

PDF logbook exports combine the written entry with route and map context. They are easier to hand to a co-owner, technician or future buyer than a collection of screenshots.

Offline where the trip happens

Core entries and locally stored records remain available without cell service. Live map tiles, forecasts and cloud updates require connectivity, but recording the vessel’s history should not depend on marina Wi-Fi.

Connected instruments are the next layer

The coming Commodore tier connects to an NMEA 0183 feed over TCP or UDP. It can add position, speed, course, heading, true wind, depth and water temperature to captured trip-log points. It is marked coming soon and is not included in launch-day Cruiser claims.

Cruiser captures automatic tracks from the iPhone’s GPS without requiring a boat-network gateway. Commodore is the future instrument-connected tier.
