Boaters love BoatMap

I used to need 3 different apps to plan a trip. Now I just open BoatMap.

Pierre M.

Recreational boater

The charts are gorgeous and the GPS tracking just works in the background. No fuss.

Marie L.

Sailor

Finally one app that has everything. Weather, reviews, offline maps. Exactly what I needed.

Thomas D.

Angler

Checking the shelter score against live weather has become my first reflex before dropping anchor.

Sébastien R.

Skipper

No signal in the coves, but the offline charts run without a hitch.

Julien C.

Charter captain

Comparing GFS and ECMWF before heading out is my habit. I do it without switching apps now.

Anne P.

Holiday boater

I found anchorages I didn't know about, 10 minutes from my home port.

Laurent V.

Recreational boater

I leave the GPS running through the whole race without draining the battery. It handles itself.

Élise B.

Racer

I save my fishing spots with depth info. No more poking around with the sounder every trip.

Marc T.

Fishing skipper

I was paying for Navionics, Windy and a tides app on the side. Now I have everything.

Camille H.

Recreational boater

To time the Morbihan passes right, having currents factored into the route is invaluable.

Yann L.

Sailor

I go out in a kayak. Weather and tides are enough for me, I don't need the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Do nautical charts work without signal at sea?

Yes. Download your zones before leaving. Your charts, GPS position and saved spots remain accessible with no connection.

Can I navigate for free with BoatMap?

Yes. The free plan includes nautical charts, marina and anchorage discovery, trip recording and saved spots. No time limit.

Does BoatMap replace Navionics or Navily?

BoatMap combines nautical charts, boater reviews, weather and GPS tracking in one app. Many users have switched to it as their primary boating app instead of juggling several.

Does background GPS drain the battery?

No. Tracking adapts to your speed: it spaces out readings at anchor and increases them while navigating. An 8-hour trip uses about 10% battery.

What types of boating are covered?

Offshore and coastal sailing, motor, fishing, kayak, paddle, jet-ski, and even inland waters. 11 activity types with tracking adapted to each practice.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No commitment. Switch between monthly, yearly or go back to free whenever you want from your phone settings.

What geographic areas are covered?

Charts cover the entire French coastline (Atlantic, Mediterranean, English Channel) and inland waters. More countries coming soon.

Is my navigation data shared?

No. Your GPS tracks and spots remain private by default. You choose what you share. Data is encrypted and hosted in Europe.
