I'm on the Explorer plan, the charts are gorgeous, better than Navionics. The anchorage scores factor in the weather, really useful to plan a trip.

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.
