Guide

How to share your sailing trip with family

"We're in Cascais now" doesn't tell the story. One link that shows the whole line — where you beat upwind, where you hid from weather, where you are today — does.

1. 1

   Export your track

   From Navionics, your chartplotter, or any app that records where you sail. Two minutes — see our per-device guides.

2. 2

   Import it into Bosco

   Create a voyage, import the GPX. Ports of call are detected and named automatically; photos can be placed where you took them.

3. 3

   Make the voyage public

   One switch in the voyage settings. You get a link like sailbosco.com/you/your-voyage that anyone can open — no account, no app.

4. 4

   For a voyage still underway

   Import your planned route too: the page shows the miles left to go, and can display the boat's live AIS position. Family checks the link instead of texting 'where are you?'.
