Boatie is an invaluable source of information for all who enjoy recreational boating in UK and Irish coastal waters. Developed and used by a keen sailor, after 15 years it remains the popular choice and 'go-to' app of thousands.
An internet connection is required for some features; data is then cached for short periods while out sailing.
Note: The app is free to download, but a subscription is required to access the service.

The latest update turns Boatie into a subscription service- I was unsure whether to pay again or delete. The developer offered me a reduced fee for the first year so I decided to continue using and review the situation again next year. This is a useful app with a decent amount of handy information in one place- I would rather pay a small fee than be bombarded with unwanted ads all the time.…
Long term user. First downloaded it while on a YM course. It’s an excellent curated mini almanac plus live wx & tidal data updates. It puts a lot of key status and real-time data at your fingertips. Excellent for passage planning & when underway. The latest v5.x release has been a welcome refresh as the app had begun to age out.…
This is my most used app, even better and clearer now it has been re vamped, it just gets better! The interactive tidal flow add on is great for passage planning, the daily weather is the most accurate of any I’ve tried, you have the convenience of inshore forecasts for your area, and of course tidal curves.…
If you go out on the water this app will be a great source of information. I have had the app for many years now, one of the only apps I paid for and would be lost without it. Every now and again it does seem to not open which can last a day or two but it always seems to come back in the end. I would pay for it again if I had two. With out a doubt my favourite app.
Great library, tidal curves, tidal streams, weather, even waypoint tracking which allows you to store multiple routes (folders of waypoints) to navigate with later. Useful for storing racing marks or routes. Distance and bearing to next waypoint. A unique and simple app in an otherwise crowded space of navigation apps. Nice to see this app being continuously improved by the developer. Really nice to see VMG/C !…
I have used this app for years thru my sailing and now motor boating days. It has so much information for passage planning and everyday life on or around the water. But what I really appreciate is that when changes are made you get a non technical explanation and if you have a problem you get a quick response from a guy who actually cares about his app and your experience.
