Frequently Asked Questions
A float plan is a written record of your boating trip. It usually includes your vessel information, passengers, departure point, destination, expected return time, route notes, emergency contacts, and instructions for what someone should do if you are overdue.
FloatPlanWizard helps you create a more organized digital float plan that can be updated and shared with trusted family and friends.
The Route Builder helps you create a more complete boating trip plan by organizing your route, stops, timing, notes, and supporting float-plan details in one workflow.
Instead of only writing a destination and return time, you can build a route that better reflects how boat trips actually work: departure point, destination, possible stops, timing, fuel considerations, route notes, and information your family and friends may need while following the trip.
No. Family and friends do not need a FloatPlanWizard account to view the trip information you share with them.
Only the captain or trip planner needs an account to create, manage, update, and share the float plan.
Yes. FloatPlanWizard works well for local trips because it helps you quickly organize the basic details: where you are leaving from, where you plan to go, who is with you, when you expect to return, and who should know about the trip.
Local trips are often the ones boaters take casually, which is exactly why having a simple plan can be helpful.
You can update your float plan as your trip changes. Adjust your route details, timing, delay information, trip notes, or check-in status so your shared plan stays current.
If your plans change significantly, update the plan and let your contacts know to check the latest Follow page.
