Plan fuel without confusing budget with safety

A practical guide to separating fuel budget, real range and the safe departure decision.

Guides

Quick answer

SkipperCalc gives expected consumption and cost. Safety requires separate planning with weather, margins, route, crew and boat condition.

Base formula: litres = distance ÷ speed × fuel burn L/h
cost = litres × price per litre

Calculate your case

FAQ

Why not give one universal reserve rule?

Because it depends on boat, area, skipper, weather and alternatives. A generic number can create false confidence.

What should I measure first?

Total L/h at your normal cruising speed.
