Eco-digital cruise companion

The shared space for every sailing trip.

CruisePilot combines crew communication, route context, live trip coordination, and digital logbook tools in one sailing experience. SailWatch adds direct marine litter and wildlife reporting so the voyage can generate real environmental insight as well.

CruisePilot platform

How CruisePilot works.

Communication, navigation, trip records, environmental guidance, and dashboard tools in one connected sailing platform.

Communication

Team Communication

One space for the whole crew.

CruisePilot keeps the whole trip in sync, giving skippers, crew, and guests one place for updates and coordination.

Shared trip context

Communication stays tied to the actual voyage, so plans, updates, and last-minute changes are easier to follow.

Before departure to arrival

Share preparation, roles, and onboard updates in one place.

In-app communication designed for sailing use, not generic chat.

Role-based coordination for skipper, crew, and guests.

From route to record

Plan the trip, then keep its story.

CruisePilot moves naturally from route planning into trip recording, so the voyage stays useful before departure and memorable after arrival.

Route Planning

Smart Navigation & Live Tracking

Plan and track the journey.

CruisePilot helps skippers plan routes, share the trip with the crew, and stay aligned while sailing.

Trip structure

Route planning stays connected to the trip itself, so navigation, crew context, and later trip records all follow the same flow.

Why it matters

A shared route view reduces confusion, gives the crew better context, and makes the trip easier to follow from start to finish.

Logbook

Digital Logbook

Keep every trip recorded.

The digital logbook combines automatic trip recording with notes and photos, preserving what happened on the water in one clear record.

Trip memory

The logbook turns movement, notes, and photos into a record that is useful operationally and meaningful after the voyage.

What it captures

Route context, onboard notes, and key moments all stay connected to the same trip timeline.

Automatic capture of route and trip context.

Manual notes and photos from skipper, crew, or guests.

Environmental action

Guidance and reporting belong in the same trip.

CruisePilot keeps sustainability advice visible, and SailWatch turns real sightings into reports that can support coastal action.

Sustainability Hub + SailWatch

Sustainability Hub

Sail more sustainably.

The Sustainability Hub gives crews eco-guides, alerts, species information, and practical sailing advice directly in the trip flow.

In-trip awareness

Sustainability guidance appears where the trip is happening, helping crews make better day-to-day choices while sailing.

Eco-guides and alerts for safer anchoring, cleaner sailing, and better onboard habits.

A dedicated place for environmental awareness inside the app navigation.

SailWatch

Report at sea.

SailWatch is CruisePilot’s environmental reporting companion for marine litter and wildlife sightings at sea.

Direct reporting

SailWatch is designed for fast marine litter and wildlife reporting, without requiring account creation before use.

Open SailWatch

Direct access to marine litter and wildlife reporting.

No registration required for reporting.

Experiences

Local Experiences & Reviews

Discover better stopovers.

CruisePilot enriches the voyage with curated experiences, nearby businesses, and community-driven recommendations.

Around each stop

Discovery stays connected to the route, helping sailors find local places and useful recommendations when they actually matter.

Local value

CruisePilot helps connect visitors with marinas, tavernas, wineries, and other businesses that shape the sailing experience ashore.

Location-based discovery for tavernas, marinas, wineries, diving spots, and local stops.

Reviews and recommendations from sailors for sailors.

Practical sustainability guidance

Lower-impact sailing guidance.

CruisePilot’s sustainability content focuses on useful onboard habits: waste handling, safe anchoring, lower-impact water use, and better energy choices.

Sail Responsibly

Turn off lights and devices when not in use, keep waste onboard until disposal ashore, reduce water use, and keep a safe distance from wildlife.

Protect Posidonia

Avoid anchoring on Posidonia seagrass beds, prefer mooring buoys, and target sandy areas where possible.

Reduce Wastewater Impact

Use marina pump-out services, clear food scraps before washing, and choose cleaning products without phosphorus, nitrates, or microplastics.

Use Energy Better

Sail when conditions allow, plan routes with forecasts in mind, and optimise engine use for efficiency and lower impact.

Dashboard

Admin & Partner Dashboard

Manage trips on shore.

CruisePilot connects the mobile experience to a web dashboard for operators and partners, bringing trips, reports, users, reviews, and exports into one place.

Operational visibility

The dashboard brings trips, reports, users, and moderation into one web layer for teams working on shore.

Dashboard modules

CruisePilot on shore.

The web dashboard extends the app for operators and partners with reporting, moderation, access management, and export tools.

Cruise management for commercial operators and trip organisers.

Environmental report moderation and status tracking.

Eco Guides and Eco Alerts for environmental content management.

Reviews & Listings for local businesses and community recommendations.

Why it matters

A connected dashboard helps operators and partners move from trip activity to reporting, moderation, and structured follow-up without switching systems.

Why the environmental layer matters

From sightings to insight.

Environmental reporting becomes more valuable when observations can support moderation, visibility, and action beyond the trip itself.

Plastic breaks down into toxic microplastics rather than disappearing.

Marine litter harms wildlife, coastlines, and the human food chain.

Rising sea temperatures, acidification, and eutrophication put more pressure on marine ecosystems.

Extreme weather, shifting wind patterns, and invasive species increasingly affect sailors directly.

Who It Is For

Onboard + ashore
