Saillogger’s modern interface is ready for a shakedown cruise! And we would love your help putting it through its paces.

This faster, rebuilt experience brings your boat, live view, logbook, journal, stats, and settings together in a fresh design for your phone and laptop.

Here is what to expect:

A fresh view, with the same intelligent Saillogger engine underneath
Your account, boat, logs, photos, and settings stay right where they are. You are only changing how Saillogger looks and feels.
Completely opt-in during Early Access
Classic remains the default. The modern view turns on only when you choose it under Settings > General > Experience.
An early preview still finding its sea legs
There may be bugs or rough edges, and a few screens may still take you to the classic view.
An easy way back
If you need the familiar view, open Settings and choose Classic. You can also select Switch back to the classic site from the modern app’s More menu.

Your choice follows your account across the web and mobile apps. If you share public boat pages, visitors will see the modern look too, while all links you have already shared will continue to work.

Try the modern Saillogger preview

If you find a bug, please reply in this thread with what happened. A screenshot and the device or browser you were using will help us get it shipshape faster.

Smooth boating and happy Saillogging,

Friends and family often want to know where you are, when you left, and when you arrived. They usually do not need their own Saillogger account or a boat to log. They simply want an easy way to follow yours.

That is who AIS Fleet is built for.

AIS Fleet is Saillogger’s companion service for people who want to follow boats. It uses Saillogger’s broad AIS network and gives each follower their own live map and Following list.

Here is how it works:

Follow your boat by MMSI

Your followers sign in to AIS Fleet with their email, search for your full 9-digit MMSI, and select Follow. They can also search by vessel name, call sign, or IMO number.
See your boat on their own map

Once followed, your boat stays in their Following list and appears by name whenever a recent position is available. There is nothing new to install aboard your boat.
Receive departure and arrival updates

Followers can receive an email whenever your boat departs or arrives, so they can keep up without repeatedly checking the map.
Follow the journey, not just the position

When your Saillogger sharing settings allow it, AIS Fleet can also show your shared voyage track, journal entries, notes, and photos.
Use it as a standalone AIS service

AIS Fleet is not limited to Saillogger boats. Anyone can use the live map to get visibility into AIS traffic across the broad Saillogger network, search for specific vessels, and build their own Following list.
Stay in control of your privacy

Public boats can be followed, password-protected boats require the access password, and private boats remain private. AIS Fleet followers appear on your Saillogger Followers page, and you are notified when someone new follows you.

To make your boat available, turn on Sharing and Live Tracking & Monitoring in Saillogger. Then copy the MMSI shown in your Sharing settings and send it to your followers along with this link:

Follow a boat on AIS Fleet

That is all they need to get started. No Saillogger account and nothing to install.

Have someone who regularly asks where you are? Send them your MMSI and AIS Fleet, then let us know how it works for your crew.

Mk2 is a good improvement over Mk1, it also has a galvanically isolated CAN port (only can0), which should be preferred to can1.

@sirox , geofence alarms trigger pushover notifications. If you configure pushover, you should receive them.

Know a boater who keeps asking about your trip maps, or someone who would enjoy bringing their own adventures into Saillogger? You can now invite them with your personal referral link, with something in it for both of you.

Here is how it works:

Send your personal invite
Open Settings > Referrals to copy your personal link or referral code. Share it with a friend, dock neighbor, or cruising buddy who would enjoy Saillogger.
They get 25% off
When they create a new account using your link or code, they will get 25% off their first paid month.
You get a month free
After they make their first successful subscription payment, we will add one free month to your account.
Invite more, save more
Each qualifying referral earns you another free month. If you cannot use a free month right away, it will stay safely banked in your account until you can.
Follow along
Your Referrals page shows who has joined and how many free months you have earned.

Just make sure your friend follows your link or enters your code while signing up. Referral codes are for new accounts and cannot be added later.

Open Referrals page and invite a boating friend!

A great photo makes a vessel much easier to recognize than a name or MMSI alone! Your camera roll may already hold the photo that helps another boater put a face to a name.

With community AIS vessel photos, every photo you contribute helps other boaters recognize the vessels they see and makes Saillogger’s maps more useful and personal.

Here is what is new:

Add a photo while exploring the map
See a boat on AIS? Add a photo! Whether it is a local favorite, a memorable passagemaker, or simply a great vessel you spotted, your photo can become part of its story.
Help build a better view
Each AIS vessel can have multiple photos, so different angles, locations, and moments all help tell more of its story.
Your photo, your copyright
You keep the copyright to every photo you submit. We will show your name whenever your photo appears (you may choose to opt out if you want to stay private).
Earn the Ship Spotter badge
Have photos published for 10 different AIS vessels to unlock the Ship Spotter badge.
Keep track of your contributions
Open Vessel photos to see everything you have contributed in one place.

Ready to go? Start with your friends, open the Friends map and add your first vessel photo!

Have a favorite vessel spotting story, a photo you are proud of, or an idea for the galleries? Reply here and share it with the community, we would love to hear from you!.

Knots for boat speed, meters per second for wind, feet for depth, and Celsius for temperature? That combination now works.

Saillogger’s new Units settings let you choose display units for each kind of measurement instead of committing everything to a single Metric or Imperial system.

Here is what is new:

Set each measurement separately
Choose units for boat speed, wind speed, trip distance, depth, temperature, tank volume, barometric pressure, and engine pressure.
Mix systems to match your instruments
Keep boat speed in knots while reading wind in m/s, depth in feet or fathoms, temperature in °C, and pressure in inHg. Use whichever combination feels natural aboard your boat.
Keep the easy presets
Metric and Imperial presets still set everything at once. Changing an individual measurement marks your setup as Custom, while selecting a preset again resets every measurement to that preset.
See your choices throughout Saillogger
Your selected units carry across maps, monitoring gauges, history charts, alerts, logbook views, trip statistics, and summary emails.

Nothing changed automatically for existing users—their previous display choices were preserved. Nautical units such as knots and nautical miles remain the standard in both presets unless you choose something different.

Available now for Saillogger users on the web and in the mobile apps.

Manage your units

Whether you are arranging a raft-up, checking in after a passage, or deciding whose dinghy is making the snack run, conversations with your boating circle now have a home inside Saillogger.

You can now send direct messages to boaters in your network and join a private group conversation for each fleet you belong to.

Here is what is new:

Chat boat to boat
Start a direct conversation with a boat you follow, a boat that follows you, or another member of one of your fleets. Saillogger identifies members by their boat name whenever one is available.
Bring the fleet together
Each fleet has one shared chat for its current Saillogger members. Open it from the fleet map or find it alongside your direct conversations in Messages.
Send photos, emoji, and reactions
Share a quick photo, add emoji, or acknowledge a message with a reaction when a full reply would be overkill. Direct conversations also support replies and forwarding.
Jump in from around Saillogger
Look for Message actions on friend and fleet surfaces, and on supported arrival and departure updates, so you can continue the conversation without hunting for the right boat.
Choose how messages reach you
Direct Messages and Fleet Messages have separate E-mail and Phone controls under Settings > Notifications. Phone notifications require a linked Pushover account.

Messaging stays within your boating network: you cannot search for or start conversations with strangers. Fleet chat is visible only to current fleet members, even when the fleet map is public.

Available now for signed-in Saillogger users on the web and in the mobile apps.
