I have been using the i pad on my fishing boat here in Florida for some time.
It has a selection of several charts you can use all very good .
The boat is an open fisherman ( wet ) but with a plastic case no problem.

The big issue is the i pad isen't great out in the sun . at times it's just imposable to see , add a pair of polaroid glasses and it becomes a blank screen . As a result it's hard to use when the boat is moving .
If you are going to use it under a sun shade etc thats one thing but out in the sun you need a different option.
