Everything you need
Precise tools. A calm, clear interface.
Each feature has its place, but they all work with the same passage plan.
Route: fast passage planning
Set a start, destination and up to 10 stops. BayPilot calculates the route, nautical-mile distance and passage time for a chosen speed. Save the finished route or export it to GPX.
Weekly cruise planner
Build a multi-day cruise by days, sailing hours, speed, stop type and return-to-start preference. Include wind, overnight stops, fuel, a preferred destination or suggested shelter.
Weather and marine conditions for sailors
Use 1- or 3-hour intervals and 1 / 7 / 14-day ranges for any point. Check wind, gusts, direction, precipitation and temperature, plus water temperature, sea level, wave height, direction and period.
Four map views and layers
Switch between Base, Satellite, Marine and Navigation. Enable marine marks and lights, spot depths, contours, bathymetry and POIs for each stage of your passage.
Navigation on the water
Once a route is active, monitor position, COG, SOG, BRG, distance to destination and the next waypoint. Choose the COG-line length, North Up or Course Up, and record your track.
POIs on the water and ashore
Marinas, buoys, anchorages and fuel, plus more than 20 shore categories: restaurants, bars, shops, pharmacies, laundries, museums and more. Check contact details, ratings and reviews.
Your places and the community
Add your own POIs, suggest updates to place information, and share reliable ratings and reviews that help other sailors.
