- Accurate GPS coordinates — choose from ActiveCaptain marinas or enter your own GPS location for anchorages and custom stops
- Weather forecasts powered by NOAA for each day and destination
- Marina details from ActiveCaptain — fuel, slips, amenities, and contact info
- GPX export — download waypoints directly to your chart plotter, auto-split for long cruises
- Print, email, or download your full itinerary to share with crew

No more guessing what to cook onboard. PassageMate generates complete meal plans based on your vessel's galley equipment, storage capacity, crew size, and dietary needs.

- Dietary accommodations — gluten-free, vegetarian, allergies, and more
- Scales to your crew — portions adjust for 2 people or 12
- Reusable templates — save and apply meal plans across multiple cruises
One list for everything you need
PassageMate automatically generates a consolidated shopping list from your meal plan — organized by category so you can walk through the store once and be done. Check items off on your phone as you shop, or print it out for the crew.
- Auto-generated from your meal plan — no manual entry needed
- Organized by aisle — produce, dairy, meat, pantry, frozen, beverages
- Interactive checklist — check off items on your phone as you shop
- Email or print — share the list with crew members handling provisioning
How to Create an AI-Augmented Cruise Plan
From dock to destination in 3 easy steps
Set Up Your Fleet
Tell PassageMate about your boats so every plan fits your vessel exactly.
- Add multiple vessels to your profile — great for owners with more than one boat or charter operators managing a fleet
- Enter vessel type (sailboat, powerboat, trawler, catamaran), cruising speed, fuel capacity, and fuel burn rate — PassageMate calculates range and fuel stops automatically
- Specify galley equipment (stove, oven, microwave, grill, pressure cooker), refrigeration (fridge, freezer, cooler-only), and dry storage — this drives which recipes the meal planner suggests
- Set crew size and dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free, nut allergy) — every meal plan scales portions and filters recipes accordingly
Plan Your Cruise
You choose the stops. AI fills in the details for every waypoint.
- Select a vessel from your fleet — itineraries, fuel estimates, and meal plans are tailored to that specific boat
- Choose a cruising region and set departure, stops, and destination — select from ActiveCaptain marinas, drop a pin on the interactive map, or enter GPS coordinates manually
- AI generates a day-by-day itinerary with distances, travel times, and fuel estimates between every waypoint
- Each stop includes NOAA weather forecasts (or climate normals for trips beyond the forecast window) and marina details from Garmin ActiveCaptain — fuel, slips, amenities, restaurants
- Download your route as a GPX file for Garmin, Raymarine, or Simrad chart plotters — long routes auto-split into segments
- Email the full itinerary to crew or print it for the helm station
Add Meals & Provision
Generate a galley-ready meal plan and a consolidated shopping list for your entire cruise.
- Generate a complete meal plan (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) for every day — recipes are filtered by your galley equipment so you only see meals you can actually cook
- All ingredients consolidate into a single provisioning list organized by grocery aisle — produce, dairy, meat, pantry, frozen, beverages
- Check off items on your phone while shopping, or email and print the list for crew handling provisioning
- Save meal plan templates and reuse them across multiple cruises
- Create a fresh meal plan tailored to a new cruise, or apply a saved meal plan to get provisioned faster
