Your logbook writes itself.
Casting off, anchoring, sailing or motoring: the Smartboatia Hub detects what your boat is doing and records it straight in the logbook. With a wind sensor, every tack and gybe too. No more writing things down, no catching up in the evening.
- Automatic entries
- Tacks and gybes
- No internet or subscription needed
More than just a logbook.
A logbook has always been part of sailing, and for good reason. It records not just where you've been, but what happened along the way. Together with the recorded wind and weather data, it tells the story of your trip.
It also gives you valuable information for navigation, maintenance and watch handovers, and can help as evidence if something goes wrong. That makes a logbook much more than a duty. It keeps memories, adds safety and documents every trip reliably.
Trips, stays and manoeuvres. Automatically.
Whether in the harbour, at anchor or under sail: the Hub documents every trip automatically. Position, course, weather and key events are recorded without you lifting a finger.
Add a few personal notes or crew details later, and your logbook becomes more than a collection of data. It becomes the story of your trip.
What the Hub records
- Underway and moored: casting off and arriving, at anchor or alongside, sailing or motoring.
- Manoeuvres: tacks and gybes (with a wind sensor), engine on and off.
- Autopilot: on and off, mode, course held and course changes.
- Anchor and battery watch: every change and every alarm.
- Location, duration, distance, speed and sea state for every leg.
Add whatever matters to you.
- Notes for special moments, in three priority levels.
- Crew and watches as a note: who was on board or on watch.
- Refuelling and maintenance with engine hours, like an oil change or a repair.
- Export as a printable PDF with place names and optional position reports, for insurance, maintenance or as a keepsake. With a Standard subscription you can also export your tracks as GPX.
The Smartboatia Hub measures GPS, air pressure, motion and sea state itself. Wind, water temperature, depth and other boat data are added when compatible instruments are connected via NMEA 2000. You'll find these values in the app's history charts. Tacks and gybes require a wind sensor. The logbook requires a Smartboatia Hub.
More than a track.
Plenty of devices record where you've been. Smartboatia also knows what your boat was doing: whether you were sailing or motoring, when you tacked and when the engine was running. Whether you were at anchor or alongside, the Hub can tell from how your boat moves. And if the anchor alarm goes off at night, that's in the logbook too.
Watch your logbook take shape.
Whether you're casting off, tacking or stopping at anchor: everything is recorded automatically while you sail.
Hub, app and AI. Three building blocks for a logbook that writes itself.
- Step 01
The Hub captures
Second by second, the Hub uses its own sensors to capture position, course, heel, motion and air pressure. It also reads data from your onboard instruments, such as wind and depth.
- Step 02
The app reveals connections
The Smartboatia app shows all your data clearly over time, so you can spot trends and connections no single reading could show.
- Step 03
The AI learns
The Hub uses AI to tell whether your engine is running, no engine sensor required. A base model trained on many boats keeps learning right on your Hub, with every engine entry you add yourself.
“The automatic logbook function is one of the best features of Smartboatia for me. I can track my voyages at any time, and the software gradually learns my boat’s characteristics. The graphical representation of wind and weather changes helps me assess conditions. I also appreciate being able to revisit my voyages later – alone or with friends.”
Most entries create themselves.
From casting off to the last gybe, Smartboatia detects many events automatically. Anything that can't be detected, you add with a few taps. Your own entries always take priority.

Under sail or under power. Your logbook writes itself.
Trips, time in port and engine running times are recorded automatically on any boat. Sailing manoeuvres like tacks and gybes are, of course, just for sailors.
