Quick answers about the boat captain trip logbook, charter captain invoicing, fishing charter trip logs, and boat captain earnings tracking.
What is Boat Captains Trip Log?
Boat Captains Trip Log is a mobile app purpose-built for professional boat captains — charter captains, fishing guides, tour boat captains, boat delivery captains, and yacht transport captains. It replaces texted notes and Excel spreadsheets with a fast, phone-first system for logging trips, tracking base pay and tips, managing invoices, scanning receipts, and generating earnings reports.
Who is Boat Captains Trip Log for?
It is built for USCG-licensed working boat captains who need to track trips and income on the water. That includes charter captains, fishing guides, tour boat captains, boat delivery captains, and yacht transport captains. It is not designed for recreational boaters.
What can I track in the boat captain earnings tracker?
Boat Captains Trip Log lets working captains track trip details, passenger counts, base pay, tips, total earnings, reimbursable expenses, receipt documentation, invoices, and captain profile information in one place.
Can I use it for charter captain invoicing?
Yes. You can select logged trips, generate invoices, save them as PDF, and email them to the company you're billing. The invoice PDF includes trip dates, trip status, base pay, add-on expenses, and passenger counts.
Does it help with fishing charter trip logs?
Yes. You can keep day-to-day fishing charter trip logs organized, even when you need to work fast between trips. The app supports charter, tour, fishing, boat delivery, and yacht transport trip types.
Can I track reimbursable expenses and receipts?
Yes. The app includes built-in expense and receipt tracking. Scan a receipt and the app reads the merchant, date, and amount automatically. Assign the expense to a client, then include it on an invoice — the actual scanned receipt attaches to the invoice PDF and can be emailed directly from the app.
Does it work offline on the water?
Yes. Trip logging, earnings tracking, and invoice building all work offline. An internet connection is only required to send invoices and earnings reports by email.
Is there a free version?
Yes. Download free and log your first 3 trips on us. When you're ready to go unlimited, one payment of $29.99 unlocks everything — forever. No subscription, no renewals. The Pro Captain upgrade is tied to your account, not your device.
How much does Boat Captains Trip Log cost?
The app is free to download on iOS and Android. After your first 3 free trips, a one-time $29.99 Pro Captain purchase unlocks unlimited trip logging and full captain profile access. There are no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no renewals — pay once and use it for life.
Is there a boat captain trip log app for Android?
Yes. Boat Captains Trip Log is available on both the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android devices. Both versions are free to download with the same Pro Captain upgrade available.
Can I use it to track earnings for tax reporting?
Yes. The app categorizes earnings by trip type, client, and date range, which makes it easier to pull the numbers you need for end-of-year accounting and tax reporting. You can export earnings reports as PDF.
Does the app support multiple vessels or clients?
Yes. You can manage trips across multiple vessels or clients within a single account. Client information is stored in a reusable directory so you can quickly assign trips without re-entering details.
