What this video covers
The Navily app (spelled "Navoly" in speech throughout) serves yacht delivery skippers and cruisers as a combined marina directory, anchorage guide, and sailor community.0:23 Steve, a professional delivery skipper, demonstrates the app during an active delivery with Barcelona as a current stop.1:05 Marina listings use two icon types: blue for Navily-affiliated marinas, which carry owner-updated information and allow direct booking through the app, and white for non-affiliated marinas, updated by community contributors.1:28 Marina Vela Barcelona appears as a worked example, showing nightly rate (€105), VHF channel (9), 136 berths, 4.5-metre maximum draft, 90-metre maximum length, diesel price, berthing maps, and amenity details.2:08 Anchorage icons use a traffic-light system — green recommended, yellow acceptable, red forbidden — with each entry showing seabed type, wind sectors for best shelter, current weather and swell direction when online, and community reviews.5:07 Offline mode lets users pre-download specific regions (Barcelona and Saint-Tropez are shown), with the option to limit downloads to marinas and anchorages only to conserve storage.7:31 A community layer displays nearby boats with MMSI numbers, boat type, and a direct chat function for connecting with other sailors in the area.9:21
