No.1 Captain's Log. Customised For Your Vessel. Handmade Leather Ships Logbook.

No.1 Captain’s Log – Custom Made in Hobart, Tasmania.

Handcrafted with care from premium materials, the No.1 Captain’s Log is where adventure meets tradition. Designed for skippers of all kinds of watercraft — from sailboats and motor cruisers to tinny runabouts and houseboats — this logbook offers a beautiful, functional, and personalised way to document life on the water.

What makes it different?

From the moment you hold it, you’ll feel the quality. The cover is crafted from rich, dark brown Italian vegetable-tanned leather in a classic Midori style, secured with a round elastic binding. Each cover is heat-embossed with your vessel’s name, the edges are hand-beveled and burnished, and it’s finished with our 100% natural leather balm for a luxurious feel and scent.

Inside the cover:

You’ll find two custom-printed logbooks:

·      Captain’s Log – The heart of the set, this book is printed with your vessel’s name on the cover and first page, along with a meaningful message or quote of your choice. You can also choose an image to feature on the book cover, making it truly one-of-a-kind. Inside, smooth, lined 80gsm acid-free paper awaits your stories, notes, and journeys.

·      Engineer’s Log – A practical companion for recording maintenance, fuel, repairs, and other technical details — often overlooked but crucial for safe and smooth operation. This book is also printed with your vessel’s name on the cover and first page, along with a meaningful message or quote of your choice and an image of your choosing. Each book also includes a handy list of what you might want to record — helpful for both solo skippers and crew members tasked with log-keeping.
