The essentials, done right.

Float doesn’t try to do everything. It does the boring bits well so you can get on with the cruise.

Log your moorings

Tap a pin, save arrival and departure. Every stop keeps a private record you can look back on.

14-day tracker

See at a glance how long you've been at your current mooring and how many days you have left before the CRT limit.

CRT notices, live

Waterway closures, restrictions and advisories from Canal & River Trust — filtered to what's near you, updated hourly.

Journey stats

Miles covered, number of stops, date range. Useful for licence checks or just looking back on the season.

Satellite view

Switch to satellite or hybrid map layers to see your moorings against the real landscape.

Your data, yours

Export your history any time. Delete your account any time. No ads. No data selling.

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

African proverb

Float is built in spare time by a boater, for boaters. If you have an idea, a bug, or just want to say hello — we’d love to hear from you.
