My Boat Prep: boat checklists, Ship's Log and Mayday scripts for skippers

My Boat Prep is a free, phone-first checklist app for skippers and crew. Run through the same proven routines every time you head out, keep a Ship's Log, and have Mayday and Pan-Pan radio calls ready to read aloud. It works offline at sea and syncs to the cloud when you have signal again.

Built-in boat checklists

• Leaving Dock, Returning to Dock and Arriving at Destination
• Safety, Route Hazards, Crew Prep and Provisions
• Head (Toilet) and Engine Service, with an engine hours log
• Grab Bag for abandoning ship
• My To Do List for boat jobs, with red flags for urgent items
• Your own custom checklists

Ship's Log and emergency radio scripts

Fill in your Ship's Log on the water and email it as a PDF to yourself and a shore contact. The Mayday and Pan-Pan scripts fill in your vessel name, callsign and live GPS position, so you can read them out on VHF Channel 16 under pressure.

Print for the boat binder

Export any list, or all of them, as a printable PDF to laminate and keep on board. Also includes Skipper's Tips, sailing YouTube channels and sailing movies picked for sailors.

Free and Pro plans
