We build awesome apps and are sailing around the
world on our yacht Seraphina.

About BoatPing
We’ve always had a passion for sailing. After working on a couple of different ideas we decided to set about disrupting the world of sailing.
The world of boating is hard to navigate, confusing and full of conflicting information and ‘bespoke’ pricing.
We want to change that and improve the experience of sailing for boat owners.
Our plan
We are starting with our logging app because it solves a real need that we have today. We don’t anticipate ever charging for it, that’s right it’s free!
Instead we’ll look to add value in other areas that can help people with their boats.
