One click in the dashboard turns any tracked passage into a polished video — animated boat, real heading and relative speed, your trip stats baked in, and a branded closing card. Saves as a portrait MP4 for Reels and TikTok or widescreen for YouTube and desktop. No editor, no plugin. Captains have always wanted to share what they saw out there; Sealink finally makes it one tap.
You sailed across a sound, dropped the hook in a beautiful spot, watched the depth come up under the keel, and you'd love to show people what that looked like. But what do you have? A grey track on a chart-plotter screenshot. A SOG number in a logbook. A few photos of the dodger. Nothing that captures the actual passage. Editing one in iMovie or CapCut takes an evening per trip — and most of us don't have the time, the editing chops, or both.
Sealink already has every fix you logged. Trip Replay just turns those fixes into video.
Pick portrait for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Pick widescreen for YouTube, desktop, or the family group chat. Both are H.264 MP4 at 60 fps — drop them straight into any social app or upload them anywhere a phone or laptop will play.
Sealink doesn't fake it. The boat moves the way you moved. The numbers are the numbers. The closing card is yours.
The animated boat icon rotates to the actual course-over-ground from your GPS fixes — through every tack, gybe, and channel turn. No interpolation, no smoothing artifacts.
Slow segments take proportionally longer than fast ones, scaled into a 30-second highlight reel. Anchored stretches at the start and end are auto-trimmed so the boat is moving when the clip starts.
Sealink picks the closest community anchorage or marina to your start and end coordinates and offers them as the video's title. "Stocking Island Anchorage → Sampson Cay" just shows up — edit if you want.
Distance, moving time, average speed, and max speed — computed from your actual fixes (anchor drift filtered out) — render alongside the live SOG pill. Calculations are honest, not pretty-rounded.
The map zooms in for the start and end legs and pulls back for the passage in the middle, then pans to keep your boat centred — same instinct a chase boat would have.
Final frames fade to a centred Sealink wordmark, the tagline "Remote vessel monitoring for the connected sailor", and a scannable QR linking back to sealink.cloud — for the ~5 seconds someone might look at the end of your reel.
On the Console tab, click any day in the Recent Trips list. The route highlights on the map and a detail pill expands.
The boat icon retraces the route on the live map with follow-camera and dynamic zoom. Pause / restart / 1× / 2× / 4× / 8× speed controls.
Click ▭ Wide MP4 or ▯ Vertical MP4. A small dialog asks for a From and To label and autofills both with the nearest anchorage.
The dashboard renders the recording on a hidden 1080p map (you keep working on the live one). When it's done, the file downloads automatically.
Trip Replay videos are generated entirely in your browser from your own data — nothing is uploaded to a third party, nothing is published anywhere automatically. The downloaded MP4 file is yours to keep, share, or delete. Your boat doesn't have to be on Sealink's public fleet for Trip Replay to work.
Sign up free, log a passage, and you'll have a shareable video in under a minute.
