An Android or iPhone will do the work. Or if you want a bigger screen you can use an Ipad. When you buy offline charts in the navigation app that you are using, it is not dependent on cell reception, and will work accurately in open water. When it comes to the app you got to find one thats working for you. Some prefer advanced charts, and others are more in need of something more "user friendly". The best apps manages to balance both. I would recommend checking out Embark boating charts (my favorite) or Navionics.
Good luck!
