Charter and tours

Find the boat — and the day tour —
from inside the app

Two tabs: charter the whole boat, or join a day boat tour. Destinations are ranked by how far they are from you; tapping one opens the partner's own booking page in an in-app browser.

Book on the partner's page

Price, availability and payment live with the partner; what their page says is what you pay. No account, forms or payments on the ViraCheck side.

The platforms we list
  • SamBoat
  • SkipperCity
  • Viravira
  • GetYourGuide

The links belong to our partners and we may earn a commission on bookings made through them; this does not change the price you pay. Booking, payment and the charter contract are made directly with the partner — ViraCheck is not a party to them.

After you book

You have the boat.
Now the real work starts.

Booking takes a day; the passage takes a week. What the weather will do, where you can anchor, what to check before casting off — it is all in the same app you found the boat in.

Pre-departure checks

Start with ready-made lists: cast-off checks, safety equipment, engine and fuel. Readiness rises as you tick items off, so nothing is quietly skipped.

Wind, waves and sea

Wind direction and speed for your position, gusts, Beaufort force, wave height and period, sea temperature and pressure — with an hourly strip and a daily summary.

Good to go, or not?

A judgement instead of a raw number: wind and gusts are read together and turned into a clear call — good to go, take care, or not today.

Logbook

Record every passage: departure and arrival ports, times, distance, engine hours, fuel, crew and notes. Export the logbook as a PDF and share it.

Boat and documents

Boat name, type, length, home port, call sign and MMSI in one place. Add expiry dates for insurance and registration and get a reminder before they run out.

Good-day alerts

Get a notification at the hour you choose, based on tomorrow's wind. Notifications are scheduled on your device; no data goes to any server.

Coves and routes

Plan where you are heading
without leaving the app

Coves and beaches around you, listed with their distance in nautical miles. Pick a few — the app orders them nearest-first, draws the legs and gives you the total distance.

  • Blue Flag: awarded beaches and marinas are flagged and one tap away; if none are nearby, the closest ones are listed
  • Real data: coves and beaches come from OpenStreetMap
  • Nautical miles: distances in the skipper's own unit
  • In-app map: it never throws you into another app
  • An honest warning: legs are straight lines; land and shallows are the skipper's call

For partners

Reach people who have already
decided to go out on the water

Someone opening ViraCheck is not daydreaming about a holiday. They are checking the wind, ticking off a pre-departure list, drawing a route. The charter link gets tapped at that moment — the intent is already there.

Emergency

Ready when it matters most

Finding the right words in a crisis is hard. The distress screen prepares a MAYDAY call already filled in with your boat's details.

  • A MAYDAY script with your boat name, MMSI and position already in place — you only have to read it
  • One-tap calls to the coastguard (158) and emergency services (112)
  • VHF channel 16 reminder and when to use PAN-PAN instead
  • Man-overboard steps, in order

Privacy

No account. Your content stays yours.

You never sign up for ViraCheck, because there is nothing to sign up to.

  • Your checklists, logbook and boat details are stored only on your phone
  • No ad networks, no user tracking; we never sell your data
  • Anonymous usage counts are sent only if you allow it — never your name, your location or your logbook content. One tap turns it off.
  • Your location is used only while a forecast or cove lookup is being made
