Features & Capabilities

Marine Weather | SailGrib is a sophisticated weather and tide forecast app tailored for sailors, cruisers, and race enthusiasts worldwide. Approved for use with Iridium GO!, it aggregates major weather models from top providers into an easy-to-use interface. Users can pan and zoom to select regions, download GRIB files from multiple sources, and customize parameters such as wind, pressure, and wave data.

Features include offline map usage, compatibility with satellite phones, and the ability to view detailed weather elements like wind barbs, isobars, precipitation, cloud cover, temperature, and ocean currents. Tide forecasts are calculated locally, and file size limits can be managed to optimize downloads, making SailGrib ideal for at-sea navigation and planning. Note that tide forecasts are for reference only, and GRIB data is provided as-is without guarantees of accuracy.

User Reviews

Marine Weather | SailGrib is appreciated for its reliable and comprehensive sailing weather forecasts, user-friendly once learned, and useful GRIB file integration for chartplotters.

Overall, it remains a valuable tool for sailing weather if the interface issues are resolved.

Recent reviews

I had subscribed for lifetime about 10 years ago and so far was very happy with this app, which provided everything I needed to know for regatta forecast, but unfortunately the interface has been broken for more than 8 months now, and the app is barely usable. The buttons either become unresponsive or disappear randomly. I have emailed the developer about it back in December 2023 but I have never received any feedback. Guess it's time to switch apps and say goodbye to my 20€.

Good app, download the grib with grib extension in the dowload file. Making easy to locate to upload to the chartplotter, for overlay view. I am happy, may be the Pro is better for the high resolution models.
