The Ship’s Log: Your All-in-One Captain’s Logbook
Think of this as more than a ship's log—it’s your all-in-one captain’s logbook for recording everything from trips and maintenance to navigation notes and safety checks. The Ship’s Log organizes vital information into six easy-to-use sections, making it easy to replace scattered notebooks with one durable, well-designed book.
Whether you’re logging daily checks, planning repairs, or documenting unforgettable voyages, this logbook is your ultimate tool for staying organized on the water.
✔ Track boat maintenance and repairs
✔ Record navigation details and safety checks
✔ Document your favorite trips and sailing memories
🎁 Makes the perfect gift for new boat owners, seasoned captains, or any boating enthusiast.
With 164 pages and tabbed sections, this logbook is designed for easy use and quick look-ups. It includes:
- Quick Reference: Vessel data, wind/sea state chart, VHF radio operations
- Ship’s Log: Watch log, pre-trip and change-of-watch checklists, radio log, contacts
- Cruising Log: Record details of every trip, including a sea hours log
- Inventory: Track spare parts, consumables, plumbing, rigging, electronics, and more
- Fluid Logs: Keep track of engine oil, generator oil, coolant, fuel, pump-outs, and water usage
- Maintenance, Repairs, and Upgrades: Maintenance logs are broken down by individual pieces of equipment—making it easy to see exactly what’s been done on each component.
Built with features that make it both practical and long-lasting:
- 8” x 10” size is large enough for easy writing, yet compact enough to store conveniently
- Tabbed sections and heavy paper make finding and recording information quick and easy
- Durable waterproof cover resists tearing and holds up to life onboard
- Lay-flat spiral binding ensures comfortable writing, even in tight spaces
- Daily Check pages with columns make it easy to spot trends and catch problems early
While the interior pages aren’t waterproof, the sturdy construction ensures years of reliable use.
- Catch Problems Early: Daily system checks and columned layouts help you spot trends indicating an issue before it becomes a major problem
- Simplify Support Calls: Organized inventory and system details make it easy to provide technicians with exact information
- Boost Resale Value: Document maintenance, repairs, and upgrades to show potential buyers exactly what’s been done
If you need extra Watch Log and Pre-Departure/Daily System Check pages, supplements are available so you don’t need to replace the entire logbook.
