Rivanaut: Boat Navigation

Rivanaut turns your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch into a modern chartplotter for Europe's inland waterways. Plan a trip across rivers, canals and lakes, follow live navigation on the water, and find the marina, lock or fuel dock you need — all in one app.

PLAN SMARTER ROUTES
• Automatic waterway routing that follows real rivers, canals and the buoyed fairway — not straight lines across land.
• Vessel-aware: enter your boat's draft, air draft, beam and length and Rivanaut avoids bridges, locks and shallows it can't pass (where data exists).
• Multi-stop trips and a multi-day cruise planner with suggested overnight harbours.

NAVIGATE WITH CONFIDENCE
• Live cockpit: speed, course, distance-to-go, ETA and cross-track error.
• Day / dusk / night chart palettes and north-up / head-up / course-up orientation.
• Voice and haptic alerts for waypoints, off-route and over-speed.
• Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, plus a full Apple Watch app.

KNOW THE WATER
• Live water levels from official gauges in Germany (PEGELONLINE), the Netherlands (Rijkswaterstaat) and France (Vigicrues).
• Weather and wind forecasts along your route.
• Speed limits and depth soundings overlays where mapped.

POINTS OF INTEREST
• Marinas, harbours, locks, slipways, moorings, fuel and waterside restaurants.
• Save favourites and add them straight to your route.

ANCHOR WATCH & LOGBOOK
• Drop anchor, set a swing radius and get a repeating alarm if you drag — even with the screen locked.
• Automatic trip recording with distance, time and speed, GPX import/export and a logbook.
• Track running costs and see boating statistics.

OFFLINE READY
• Download whole regions — maps, POIs and routing — to navigate without a signal.

SAFETY FIRST
Rivanaut is a planning and information tool, not a certified navigation system. Always check water levels, closures, locks, bridge clearances and local regulations from official sources before setting out.
