Keep Your Boat Ready, Your Listings Trusted
Replace spreadsheets with digital Boat Care: track maintenance, store documents, and share crew packs. Available with Pro subscription.
Your Boat's Digital Control Centre
Boat Care brings maintenance schedules, safety certificates, insurance documents, and crew briefing packs into one place. Stop juggling spreadsheets, folders, and forgotten service intervals. Keep your boat compliant, your listings trustworthy, and your crew properly briefed—all in £10.00/month per month.
Why Skippers Need Boat Care
Running a boat means tracking dozens of maintenance tasks: engine servicing, antifoul schedules, gas safety checks, lifejacket inspections, VHF license renewals. Most skippers use spreadsheets, paper logbooks, or (worse) memory. The result? Missed service intervals, expired certificates, and that sinking feeling when crew asks "when was the liferaft last serviced?" and you can't answer confidently.
Boat Care replaces chaos with clarity. Set maintenance reminders ("Engine service due in 20 hours"), store safety certificates in a digital vault (upload PDFs, photos of paperwork), and build crew info packs with boat specs, safety briefings, and joining instructions. When a new crew member asks about lifejacket locations or emergency procedures, you send them the pack—no scrambling, no forgotten details.
Beyond convenience, Boat Care builds trust with crew. A skipper who can instantly share servicing history, safety documentation, and clear briefings signals professionalism. Crew see you're prepared, compliant, and serious about safety. That confidence converts applicants into confirmed crew faster and keeps your listings active with dependable sailors who appreciate a well-run boat.
What's Included in Boat Care
Maintenance Reminders
Track engine hours, antifoul schedules, rigging inspections, and recurring maintenance. Set reminders based on calendar dates or engine hours. Never miss another service interval or let a critical task slip through the cracks.
Document Vault
Upload and organise safety certificates, insurance policies, VHF licenses, servicing records, and manuals. Access documents from anywhere, share with crew when needed, and stop digging through folders for that elusive gas certificate.
Crew Info Packs
Build standardised crew briefing packs: boat specs, safety procedures, emergency contacts, VHF channels, meeting points. Share with confirmed crew before trips. No more repeating the same briefing or forgetting critical details.
Manager Delegation
Delegate Boat Care access to partners, co-owners, or boat managers. They can update maintenance records, upload documents, and manage crew packs without needing full account access. Perfect for jointly-owned boats or skippered charters.
How Boat Care Strengthens Crew Matching
Boat Care isn't just admin convenience—it directly improves crew conversion and retention:
- Trustworthy Listings: Crew see you're organised and compliant. Well-maintained boats attract serious sailors, not tyre-kickers.
- Faster Onboarding: Share crew packs instantly when crew are confirmed. No email chains, no forgotten details, no last-minute confusion.
- Professional Reputation: Crew endorse skippers who run tight ships. Documented maintenance and clear briefings earn glowing endorsements.
- Repeat Crew: Sailors remember well-run boats. Proper briefings and maintained equipment mean crew want to sail with you again.
The loop: Maintained boats → Trustworthy listings → Better crew conversion → Positive endorsements → More crew interest → Continued Pro subscription. Boat Care pays for itself through smoother operations and higher-quality crew matches.

Can crew see my maintenance records?
No. Maintenance schedules and the document vault are private to you and any delegated managers. Crew info packs are the only Boat Care feature visible to crew (and only when you explicitly share them).
Can I delegate to a boat manager or co-owner?
Yes. Invite managers via email. They gain access to Boat Care (maintenance, documents, crew packs) but not your account settings, messages, or personal data. Perfect for jointly-owned boats or professional boat managers.
What if I own multiple boats?
Boat Care supports multiple boats under one Pro subscription. Track maintenance separately for each boat, organise documents per vessel, and create boat-specific crew packs. One subscription covers your entire fleet.
Do I need Boat Care if I only crew (don't own a boat)?
Boat Care is designed for boat owners and skippers. If you're crew-only, focus on the Sailing CV, logbook, and endorsements—those are the features that help you find opportunities. Boat Care won't add value to your workflow.
Can I try Boat Care before subscribing?
Pro subscriptions include a satisfaction guarantee. Subscribe, explore Boat Care, and cancel within the first month for a full refund if it doesn't meet your needs. No risk, no long-term commitment.
What happens to my data if I cancel Pro?
Your Boat Care data (maintenance schedules, documents, crew packs) is preserved but read-only after cancellation. You can view existing data but can't add new tasks or upload documents. Resubscribe anytime to regain full access.
