Table of Contents
Sailing is about freedom, not paperwork. That’s why the Smartboatia Hub takes care of something most sailors forget (or avoid): the Smartboatia logbook.
Instead of scribbling down locations, weather and performance after a long day on the water, your Hub does it all for you: automatically, accurately, and in real time.
The Power of an Automatic Sailing Logbook
Imagine finishing a weekend cruise or a longer passage and having every tack, wind shift, and anchorage perfectly documented without writing a single word. With the Smartboatia logbook, that’s exactly what you get.
Every Moment Captured Your Hub logs GPS, wind data, boat motion, and more every second so you don’t miss a thing.
Instant Clarity Sync across devices to analyze performance or relive your favorite sunset sail in vivid detail.
What Data the Smartboatia Logbook Captures
The Smartboatia Hub collects data from both your onboard instruments and its internal sensors to build a complete picture of your journey. Here’s what gets captured:
Vessel Instrument Data
GPS location, speed over ground & heading Know exactly where you’ve been and at what pace.
Wind angle & wind speed See how changing winds affected your performance.
Internal Sensor Data
Boat motion & heel Understand how your boat behaved in every sea state.
Barometric pressure Track weather trends throughout your trip.
Battery voltage Monitor power levels and avoid surprises.
Smart Event Detection
Anchored, docked or underway (auto-detected) Automatically tagged, so you can filter your log.
Tacks & gybes (auto-detected) Every maneuver marked for easy review.
Engine on/off events (auto-detected; learns and improves when you label a few hours of sailing vs. motoring) The Hub adapts to your usage for more accurate detection.
Moored (manual entry) – log when you’re tied to a buoy.

Smartboatia Logbook in Action: How It Works
Never miss a beat. Every second, the Hub reads data from your boat’s NMEA2000 network (or via a NMEA0183 Wi-Fi bridge or SeaTalk NG adapter) and securely stores it.
Data Collection Sensors and instruments feed live data into the Hub.
Cloud Sync Whenever you’re online, your logbook uploads to the Smartboatia Cloud.
Visualize & Analyze Use the Smartboatia App to map routes, filter events, and zoom in on key moments.
Accessible from Anywhere
As long as your Hub has an internet connection, your logbook syncs to the Smartboatia Cloud. That means you can access it:
Let’s be honest: manual logging rarely happens the way it should, especially after a long day. But your Smartboatia Hub doesn’t forget. It automatically captures the story of every trip:
Where you were, when, and in what conditions
How your boat behaved
Which maneuvers were performed
All this helps you sail better, spot patterns, and even increase safety, especially when analyzing what worked (or didn’t) on a tricky crossing.
