I had initially looked at setting up our sailing blog for family and friends using Wordpress as my research indicated it was simple for non technical people like me to set up. That was true to a point, but in searching for a template/theme I could use none easily supported a map that would show our journey, and this was a feature family had asked for. Also in comparing Wordpress themes to SB none came even close to offering all the nautical and customisable features SB offers. Trying to add these features to a basic Wordpress theme was both complicated for a novice and would likely turn out more expensive due to the cost of each add on.
Having first cut my teeth in WP, I had learnt the basics of how to set up a sailing blog, so when I switched to SB I found it very easy and straightforward. Alain helped me to deactivate my WP site and switch my domain. When I encountered something I didn’t understand Alain was very prompt in replying to my queries via a ‘Ask Support’ link. Like anything new it takes a bit of time to learn how things are done, but I found the majority of functions intuitive to use.
Take a look at my blog sailingperdika.com , I couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out. I had a clear vision of what I wanted my website to look like, and the website I have created on SB has undoubtedly exceeded all my expectations. It’s a beautiful looking website that I am very proud to share with family and friends. Plus the support I recieved from Alain was exemplary.
For me, what makes SB stand out against it’s sailing blog competitors out there (I looked at some others before choosing SB) is how simple, stylish and beautiful the themes are. And the beautiful added features such as little flags to show the countries you’ve travelled to and sailing quotes. I love the sailing quotes! ( but if it’s not your thing these features can easily be turned off.

J'étais à la recherche d'une solution de blogging de voyage en bateau facile à prendre en main et originale. Skipperblogs a parfaitement répondu à mes attentes!
L'interface est intuitive, j'ai rapidement pris en main l'outil. Le fait de positionner le bateau sur une carte était un vrai plus "visuel" pour que les visiteurs de notre blog sachent où nous étions. Le dimensionnement des photos était top.
Je recommande cette solution à toute personne qui cherche une plateforme de blog "clé-en-main". Alain est réactif et très aidant.

We are very happy with our new website and Alain has been a real star helping us build it and making modifications to suit our needs.
For us, one of the main attractions is that we can send photos to the website using email - even from our very slow IridiumGo.
Alain has always been very quick with responses to our requests and has given very good explanations and guidance.
A very happy SV Kelper.

When we started our family sailing trip around the world, I was looking for an alternative to social media to share our journey. I heard about skipperblogs and after talking to Alain, I started the blog. This solution met my expectations: a clear and intuitive administration platform, a wide choice of designs, and support that is always available. I have been using skipperblogs for three years now and have developed my blog according to my preferences and the time I have to devote to it. The map is a real bonus and allows everyone to follow us, even non-sailors. Setting up the tracking is very easy. I recommend skipperblogs without hesitation!

We've been using Skipperblogs to track our voyage and it's been a game-changer. The platform makes it incredibly easy to build a clean page, setting up trackings and start writting all in one place. The customer support is fast, helpful and always open to feedback.If you're sailing abroad and want to keep a link with your family without spending hours on tech, Skipperblogs is 100% worth it.

We've been using Skipperblogs for the last 3 years, crossing 2 oceans and many seas. We can only recommend Skipperblogs as there is no such tool(s) for cruisers out there. We have seen so many features added since we launched our website. Thanks for the amazing work!

I think it's a great app for keeping track of your sail trips, both past, current and future. Unlike most (or rather all) apps, the map can be embedded on other websites. Also love the track details, custom message and weather, especially the map stats that show the distance and average speed. The only thing I'd want to see improved would be being able to import pictures from cloud services (Google photos, Dropbox etc...).Really love your app. Can tell it's designed and built by avid sailor!

I think Skipperblogs is a very good app. It is enjoyable to use and our friends and family like to follow. The result is high quality and worth the money. Some features still needs a little improvement but is very workable.

I have been using Skipperblogs for 6 months now and I am incredibly happy with the service. The support team is very responsive and helpful which is a big plus. I also love the fact that I could connect a domain name and display only a big map without blog posts. I would highly recommend Skipperblogs to anyone getting ready to cast off.

I recently tried out and I was impressed with how user-friendly the website is - it's easy to navigate and create a blog. The blog publishing tools are great, allowing you to customize your blog with different themes, widgets, ... I like the feature that adds weather and navigation data on the map at each waypoints. Overall, I'm very impressed with Skipperblogs. It's a great platform for all sailors to share their stories!

Très pratique pour créer son blog! Nous sommes très contents d’avoir choisi skipperblogs pour raconter notre voyage en bateau autour du monde. Skipperblogs offre pleins de fonctionnalités très pratiques comme le tracking qui permet d’avoir en page d’accueil du blog une carte avec la position du bateau. L’administration du blog est intuitive et facile. Enfin, Alain, celui qui a créé skipperblogs est toujours disponible pour répondre aux questions. Je recommande!

Excellente solution pour créer son site marin. J'ai eu la chance de participer à la version Beta et et je n'ai pas été déçu. L'administration est bien conçue et intuitive. Les fonctionnalités sont nombreuses et surtout le tracking via Iridium pour nos voyages. Apparemment l’intégralité des fonctionnalités n'est pas encore en place, mais je me réjouis de voir arriver la suite !

Great platform to share the experiences of our sailing trip with friends and other sailors. Easy operation and quick possibilities to publish an article. In addition, there is a tracking program, which can be used both manual, email or from different navigation programs. We are totally excited and can only recommend it.
