Boat.Life logbook benefits explained
A logbook used to be a duty. A digital one is closer to a photo album that happens to be accurate: it records where you went, how long it took, what the weather did and who was aboard — while you steer.
It records the trip for you
Start the tracker when you cast off and the position, speed and distance are logged automatically. No hourly entries, no forgotten legs, no rounding a four-hour passage into 'about three'.
Photos land in the right place and time
Add photos to a trip and they are matched to where the boat actually was when the picture was taken, using the photo's own timestamp. Your album becomes a route with pictures pinned along it.
Real numbers, not impressions
- Distance and hours per trip, per season and per boat
- Average and maximum speed, with the fast stretches marked on the map
- Engine hours accumulating in step with the service book
- Harbours and anchorages visited, with your own notes
Everything is searchable years later
'Where was that sheltered bay we found in July two summers ago?' is a question paper cannot answer. A digital logbook can, in seconds, complete with the photo and the depth you noted.
It connects to the rest of the boat's life
Because the logbook, the service book and the boat's specifications live together, a fault noticed on a trip becomes a planned service item in two taps, and engine hours logged at sea feed the maintenance intervals ashore.
It is permanent and ad-free
Boat.Life exists so that a boat's record does not disappear when a phone breaks, a season ends or the boat is sold. There are no ads, and the history can follow the boat to its next owner if you choose.
