Route and timing
Route waypoints, departure, destination, and expected return
Float plans
Leave the plan with someone ashore.
Build a float plan from a saved trip and share the route, timing, vessel, people aboard, contacts, safety details, and overdue instructions with a trusted person ashore.
What is shared
Give them the details they may need.
Vessel
Vessel identification and distinguishing features
People aboard
Operator and people aboard
Shore contacts
Shore contacts and overdue instructions
Equipment
Communications, navigation equipment, and safety gear
The recipient does not need a Seaward account. Share a read-only link or a printable PDF.
Choose a holder
Share it with someone you trust.
Choose a friend, relative, marina, or yacht-club contact who understands the plan, knows when to act, and can reach the appropriate rescue authority if the boat is overdue.
Keep the holder informed.
Tell them when the plan changes and when you return. Give them a PDF or saved copy as a backup to the hosted link.
Know the limits
A float plan is not filed or monitored.
Emergency services such as the U.S. Coast Guard do not accept Seaward float plans directly. The trusted person ashore is responsible for following your overdue instructions.
Create one
Start with a saved trip.
Draw the route and save the trip, then add the details your shore contact will need. Review and republish the float plan if the route, timing, or other shared details change.
