In the Plan tab, you can search for places, explore points of interest, and plan routes.
Tap "Search here" to find a marina, location, or point of interest. Use filters such as "Restaurants", "Anchorages", or "Guest harbours" to display them directly on the chart.
Would you rather browse than search the chart? Tap "List" to see places in the area gathered in a list, with distance, rating, and amenities where available for each place.

With filters, you'll quickly find the places that suit you and your boat. Tap "Filter" to choose a category – such as nature harbor, guest harbor, or restaurant by the sea – and then specify further as needed: wind protection, amenities like fresh water or diesel, and which mooring method suits your boat.
You can combine multiple filters at once, and the results are shown directly on the chart or as a ranked list of the nearest places – easily switch between the two by tapping "List" or "Map".
Choose Category
Filter by which type of place you're looking for – for example guest harbor, restaurant by the sea, or fuel station. You can also choose to show your saved places, sorted by category. You'll see a list of options that can be checked – when you select one or more, the boxes are marked, making it easy to find the place you're looking for.
Only places within the selected categories are shown on the chart.
You can switch between List and Map at any time. Tapping List brings up the places in your area that match your selected categories – gathered and ready to explore.
Want to start over completely? Tap Clear Filter and then Show – this removes all points of interest from the chart, and you can filter again.
Wind Protection
Filter nature harbors by wind protection – choose between Forecast, Manual, or Off.
If you select "Forecast," wind-protected nature harbors are shown based on the current weather forecast. You can choose which day you'll be out on the water, or set a period from one date to another, so you can see which harbors are protected throughout the whole trip.
In "Manual" mode, you mark in green the directions the harbor should be protected from.
Wind protection is an estimate based on Skippo’s own assessments and user-generated data. Found an error? Report it here.
Note: The wind rose is only available to Hamnguiden subscribers in the Skippo app. Learn more about our subscriptions here.
Amenities
Filter harbors based on the amenities you’re looking for. You’ll see a list of options with checkboxes – once you select one or more, the boxes are checked, making it easy to find a harbor that suits your needs.
Only harbors that offer the selected amenities will remain visible on the chart.
Among the amenities, you can look for what you need – fresh water, outhouse, toilet, waste shed, septic emptying, diesel, grocery store, sauna, laundry room, or why not a fee-free harbor?
Mooring Options
Filter harbors by available mooring types. Selected options are highlighted in dark blue, so you can easily find a harbor that fits your boat and your needs.
Rock Ring: A metal ring on land (often embedded in rock) where you can fasten your line when mooring bow-to-land.
Y-Boom: Two arms extending from a dock that help keep the boat in place within a berth.
Piles: Poles in the water that you moor the boat to – common in harbors for keeping boats steady.
Stern Anchor: An anchor deployed from the stern (rear) to keep the boat in place, often used when bow is moored to land.
Anchored Afloat: Anchoring without attaching to land or buoy – the boat can rotate freely around the anchor.
Free-Standing Buoy: A buoy in open water not connected to land – you moor the boat to the buoy and float freely.
Mooring Line: A line fixed to the seabed, leading up to a buoy or dock – used to keep the boat in place without needing your own anchor.
Stern Buoy: A buoy you tie the stern of your boat to, typically when the bow is moored to a dock or the shore.
Alongside: Mooring with the boat’s side directly against the dock.
