We use navionics for navigation and the windy.com app for wind and weather. Interested to see if there are any other good ones out there that we should be looking into. I've seen some people using the predictwind app for route planning but it's kind of expensive.

You can give OpenCPN a look: https://opencpn.org. It's a nice chartplotter with lots of plugins.

This looks pretty compreshensive. Have you used Navionics before? If so, how do you think it compares?

I've used Navionics too. I feel like OpenCPN is less intuitive but more configurable. In general I prefer free software so it was my first choice.
