What Cruisers Say About Our Ship's Log

"Everything about this log is just right for accurate record keeping of every aspect of my boat."

"My wife and I own a luxury yacht charter company in Destin, Florida. Keeping logs is critical for any boat, but it is vital in our business. We must log each voyage, each passenger, each change of crew watch, each repair, each maintenance service, each fueling, each part replacement, and we must keep an inventory of all passenger and vessel safety and lifesaving equipment. This single book covers all those topics and provides ample pages for the Captain's notes and records. Great buy!"

"We've been looking for a place to jot down important information about our sailboat and to keep detailed records of our watches and our travels. This ship's log is just right, with sections for maintenance tracking, spare parts tracking, watch shifts and a cruising log."
