On a yacht, the owner’s expectations are not open to negotiation. Crew rotations, refit, yard warranties, flag compliance: Smart Sailors records every job, every part and every certificate, then hands over a complete history when the yacht is sold or the management company changes.
What the owner expects is not described, it is demonstrated.
At resale, two identical yachts can differ by several hundred thousand euros, and the gap often comes from the technical file. A complete, timestamped history with invoices and photographs reassures the surveyor and the buyer alike. A vague logbook opens the negotiation downwards instead. Every job recorded today becomes a selling argument tomorrow.
Crew rotation is the norm in this industry, and an engineer rarely stays beyond two seasons. At every departure the supplier contacts, the yard warranties and the vessel’s technical quirks risk leaving with him. The yacht’s memory has to live in a system rather than in a personal notebook, a point developed in our yacht and superyacht article.
As soon as the yacht is operated commercially, under the French international register or an equivalent flag, it inherits real obligations: class, flag surveys, crew licences and medical fitness, life-saving appliances. Due dates fall in the middle of the charter season if nobody watches them, and one lost charter week costs more than a year of subscription.
designed in Marseille by seafarers, for vessels operated to demanding standards, professional yachting included.
every job timestamped, signed and photographed, which forms the yacht’s digital service record.
the mobile app works at anchor as on passage and syncs as soon as the network returns.
the history belongs to the yacht: full export at any time, in particular at a sale or a change of management.

From the charter day boat to the superyacht, the same documentary rigour.
Every job timestamped and signed builds a digital service record that protects resale value.
Explore the Equipment module →The captain changes, the vessel stays documented: instructions, histories and suppliers survive the handovers.
Explore the Crew module →Commercial registry, class and crew certificates tracked to their due dates, with scanned documents available on board and to shore management.
Explore the Certificates module →Spend forecasting, purchase and yard tracking: the owner knows where every euro goes.
Explore the Forecast module →End of season, the engineer signs off after two years on board. This used to be the critical moment: supplier numbers in his phone, generator history in his memory, the yard warranty file in a binder nobody can find. This time the handover takes a morning. His successor opens Smart Sailors and finds every system on board with its history, the parts used, the contacts, the standing instructions and the class due dates for the next eighteen months.
Three weeks later the yacht moves on to its winter yard period. The work list built up through the season, priced and ready to be arbitrated in front of management. The owner takes away one thing: everything works, everything can be demonstrated, and nothing depends on a single person.
Existing records imported, quick to learn, a routine that settles without taking the vessel out of service.
Machinery, systems, tenders and toys: the inventory is imported from your existing lists, with maker’s plans and class due dates.
Captain, engineer and shore management each receive their access and their rights. The app is mastered in a day.
Jobs, warranties and costs per system accumulate. By the first review with the owner, the report is already there.
For captains, management companies and family offices.
Pricing is per vessel, from €10 a month, and a single yacht has exactly the same modules as a management fleet. A good share of our users operate one unit.
Yes, read-only or on selected views such as costs, planning or vessel condition. Roles and permissions are finely adjustable, so each person sees what concerns them.
Each item of equipment carries its documents, warranty, invoices and reports, along with its due dates. In a warranty claim the file comes out in minutes, with the maintenance history that demonstrates proper use.
This is often where the tool pays for itself in one step. A complete, timestamped technical file shortens due diligence, reassures the surveyor and supports the asking price. The full export is handed to the buyer or the new management company.
The app takes less effort than paper: a job is logged in a minute, even offline, and the photo is attached as soon as the network returns. Onboarding training is included in the rollout.
Careful interface, offline mobile app, data exportable at any time. Thirty-day free trial.
