SkipperBuddy Co-Pilot

A smart boating assistant that helps at the right moment.

Co-Pilot is designed as the intelligent layer across SkipperBuddy. It can bring together relevant information from navigation, weather, manoeuvres and boating knowledge to provide practical, context-aware guidance while you prepare, learn or are underway.

  • Practical alerts when conditions or situations deserve attention.
  • Guidance such as “How should I approach this berth with crosswind?”
  • Direct connection to relevant Weather, Navigation, Manoeuvres and Information content.

Co-Pilot is an assistance feature and does not replace the skipper’s judgement, official charts, regulations or emergency services.
