Ask for a route. Get a passage plan.
Real charts, search, and weather. Routing that plans like a skipper — your polars, the current, your draft, the actual channel. All of it runs on the boat, no internet needed.
“Route to Edgartown tomorrow morning.”
That sentence is the whole job. The plan comes back the way a skipper would build it: timed to the tide, honest about how long it takes, on a line that's safe for your boat. Then keep talking — a better time to leave, a line closer to shore — and the plan changes with you.
- Timed to the water. Tide and current shape every leg — it knows a fair canal from a foul one.
- “Is there a better time to leave?” The same passage costed at a handful of cast-off times, one recommended, with the reason under it.
- “Can we stay closer to shore?” The line moves, the plan re-times, and it tells you what the change costs.
- A line planned like a skipper steers. Buoyed channels threaded, narrow water centered, shoals given room.
The route knows the tide.
Catch the Cape Cod Canal fair and it's a forty-minute ride; catch it foul and it's hours. The plan knows the difference — current is in the math everywhere.
- Current-aware ETAs. Fair, foul, and the chokepoints that decide your day.
- Waits, when waiting wins. “Anchor two hours, then carry the flood” — or stand off till the gate opens.
- “When should I leave?” Compare cast-off times — sail hours, night hours, arrival — and pick your trade.
- Tide-gated shortcuts. A bar that only goes at half tide gets crossed at half tide. Nobody else plans this.
“Where should we anchor tonight on the way?”
Ask it the way you'd ask the crew. It reads your route, the hours of daylight left, the wind overnight and the chart, and answers with a place — and with why: the scope for your draft, the shelter, the shift that would change its mind.
- Along the route, not around the boat. Overnight options are picked from what you can reach before dark on the way you're going.
- Scope worked out for your boat. Charted depth, tonight's tide and your draft become a rode length and a swing radius in feet.
- Honest about the chart. Where the bottom isn't charted, it says so and tells you to back down and watch the sounder.
- The options on a chart. The pick and the fallbacks, drawn on the route so you can see the backtrack for yourself.
A plan you can read at the helm.
Every route comes with a brief — when you'll be where, the wind on arrival, the skinny spot, the bridge, sunset — in chat, on dashboards, and on the chart.
- Scrub the passage. Drag the plan and a cursor rides the route — time, wind, depth, sail or motor.
- The events that matter. Least depth, bridges to hail, tacks, night arrivals — pins on the chart, cards on the timeline.
- Trips, not spaghetti. “Move it to Sunday” keeps the trip's name and replans underneath.
A route your boat can actually sail.
A straight line isn't a sail plan. Routes are built from your boat's real numbers — beat angle, no-go zone, light-air limits — so the plan sails the way you do.
- Real beats, drawn on the chart. Tack boards at your beat angle, sea room checked on every board.
- Sail or motor, decided honestly. Engine off when it can be — and a reason when it can't: “not enough wind,” “too narrow to tack.”
- Your polar, zero homework. Paste it, photo it, or read it out loud. None handy? A stock cruiser polar gets you started.
Charts as current as this morning.
Big-name chart apps can lag a moved buoy by months. Yours rebuild from the official NOAA source — with the weather drawn on top, where it belongs.
- Updated daily. Buoy moved, bar shoaled, light changed — the chart aboard already knows.
- Presets for the job. Coastal cruise, anchoring, passage — one tap declutters. Hazards never hide.
- The forecast, on the chart. Animated wind and current, waves, visibility — scrub time and watch it move.
- Tides on tap. “When's high water at the bar?” has an answer at 2 a.m., aboard.
Every layer you'd want, one tap away.
Soundings, contours, buoys, lights, wrecks, ship traffic — switch them on and off as the job changes. The chart redraws as you go, aboard, with nothing to download.
An extra lookout while you sail.
Watches already monitor the instruments. Point them at the chart and they check your position, course, and depth against the charted world — and speak up early.
- A grounding guard. “Tell me if the sounder reads shallower than the chart” — early warning the chart and the water disagree.
- Watching the plan, not just the boat. Slipping past the tide window, wind veering onto a lee shore — flagged while it's still a decision.
- And at anchor, more than a swing circle. Wind, swing, and the charted bottom watched together — it wakes you before a slow drag becomes a bad night.
Planned aboard. Not in a data center.
Charts, search, forecasts, and the routing engine all run on the small computer aboard. Plan tomorrow's passage from a dead-zone anchorage — no cloud chartplotter can.
- Chart packs for your grounds. Sync aboard while you have bandwidth, then stop needing it.
- Forecasts ride along. Weather keeps working offline — and is honest about its horizon.
- Stored aboard. Your tracks, plans, and conversations live on the Console — not in our cloud.
The planner keeps getting smarter.
Here's what's coming next.
Routes with opinions
Fastest, most protected, calmest — genuinely different variants, not three wiggles on one line.
“Find me a marina within four hours.”
Every harbor you can reach in the direction you're headed, each with a real route attached.
Custom asks, plain English
“Keep me close to shore.” “Quietest ride for the kids.” Taken as weights on the search itself.
In before dark
Name the arrival, and the plan works backward to the latest cast-off with light to spare.
Graded legs
Every leg carries a green / amber / red grade — and the amber ones explain themselves.
A polar learned from your boat
It watches every sail you put up. Over a season it learns how your boat actually sails — bimini, furled main and all.
Replanning underway
The wind shifted two hours ago. The plan notices, and offers the better line mid-passage.
Tacks placed on the shifts
Tack on the headers, extend into the pressure — placed against the actual wind field.
Powerboats, properly
Fuel curves, reserves, and refuel stops — planned like an EV road trip.
Plan less. Sail more.
