Handoff, Marine OS
You run multi-point inspections, hull and prop cleanings, and preventive maintenance most owners never see the rigor behind, because you're a licensed captain running a technical operation, not a cleaning crew. But today that work lives in your head, in photos on your phone, and in a messaging thread. The owner sees a message and an invoice. None of it accumulates into anything that proves what you did, or what you're worth at renewal.
Your checklist, configured to how you already work.White label. The owner sees your name, not ours.The Passport is the byproduct, not extra work.A dropped signal never costs you a checklist tap.
The invisible work problem
A recurring multi-point inspection happens every week, on schedule, the way you said it would. The owner, who isn't aboard, sees a text message and a line on next month's invoice. None of it accumulates into a record. None of it proves your value when the contract comes up for renewal. And none of it survives you, if the owner sells the boat, or hires a different company, the season of work you put in disappears with the last text thread.
The daily tool
Marine OS isn't a new way of working, it's the tool that captures the work you already do, so it stops disappearing the moment the visit ends.
Every vessel under management, with the details your team needs before they step aboard.
Point a phone at the hour meter and the reading fills itself in, verified against the photo, not typed off a gauge in bad light. A running record you're not reconstructing from old invoices.
A multi-point checklist you configure yourself, built around how you already inspect a boat. We don't hand you a fixed list; you build yours.
A photo against each point on the checklist, timestamped and attached to that visit, not buried in a camera roll.
Assign the visit to the technician or contractor doing the work, and always know who's on which boat.
Every inspection, cleaning, and service call, in order, for as long as you've managed her.
Every checklist point comes back OK, Attention, or Fault, with a note attached, so what needs a decision doesn't disappear into a long list of check marks.
A dated record of every technician who touched the vessel, and what they did.
One button on the vessel exports every published visit as a certified service ledger, ready to hand a broker or a surveyor without walking them through the app.
What the owner sees
The owner gets a clean, branded view: their vessel was inspected, here's the report, here are the photos, here's what needs attention now and what can wait. It's the difference between an invoice and evidence.
That visibility is designed to function as a retention tool: an owner who can actually see the care going into their boat has a reason to stay put at renewal. We don't promise what any particular owner will decide; what we build is the evidence, not the outcome.
Sample report, for illustration only.
White label
Marine OS is branded with your company's name, logo, and colors. The owner experiences it as your system, because it is. Handoff sits underneath, doing the engineering, and stays unnamed to your clients if that's how you prefer to run your business. Your reputation is the product. We built the tool that lets you prove it.
Where this fits
Most operators looking at this already run something for scheduling, estimates, and invoicing, and it's probably good at that job. Marine OS isn't asking you to rip it out. Three kinds of software already serve this industry, and each is genuinely strong in its own lane.
| Category | Strong at | What it leaves out for a vessel |
|---|---|---|
| General field-service software | Scheduling, dispatch, estimates, invoicing, payments, with excellent mobile apps. | A boat is just a customer address. No engine hours, no systems, no asset history, nothing that survives the relationship. |
| Marina & boatyard management systems | Slip reservations, fuel dock, parts inventory, facility job costing. | Built for the operator who owns the facility and the boats come to. Wrong shape for a mobile operator working boats at marinas they don't own. |
| Superyacht maintenance systems | Full planned maintenance for large vessels with a dedicated engineer aboard. | Priced and scoped for that crew and that size, real overkill for a 40–100' vessel with no permanent crew. |
Marine OS doesn't compete in any of those three lanes. It's the layer none of them provide: the vessel's own record, the inspections, the photos, the technician history: accumulating independent of whichever company happens to be invoicing this season, built so it can travel with her at a sale. Keep the scheduling and invoicing tool you already run; Marine OS is built to sit alongside it, not replace it.
In developmentDeeper integration with the field-service and accounting tools operators already run, so the record and the invoice stay in sync without double entry. Not shipped today.
The byproduct
Run recurring inspections for a season, and the vessel ends up with something most boats never have: a genuine record of what was checked, when, by whom, with photographs to back it up. That record is called a Yacht Passport, and it belongs to the vessel, not to whoever happens to be managing her this year, which means it can transfer at a sale, the way a maintenance log ought to but rarely does.
If you're also a broker, this is worth noticing: you're building that record while you manage the boat, and it becomes a selling asset the day you list her, the same underlying record, doing double duty.
A Yacht Passport is a private operating record, not a statutory or class document. It does not replace Flag State registration, Class certification, or USCG requirements.
Astra Intelligence
Every Marine OS account includes Astra Intelligence. Ask a plain question about a vessel and get an answer sourced from that vessel's own records, with the source shown.
“When did we last check the port shaft seal, and what did we find?”

Astra Intelligence retrieves and explains what's already in your records. It does not make any procedure safe, and it does not offer navigational, stability, or compliance advice. For anything safety-critical, the vessel's own certificates, her class surveyor, or her flag administration remain the authority.
Pricing
Billed to you, the operator, monthly. A flat account minimum covers your first five vessels; each vessel beyond that adds a per-vessel rate that steps down as your fleet grows. No per-technician charge. Owner views are included.
| Fleet size | Price |
|---|---|
| Up to 5 active vessels | $495 / month |
| Vessels 6–10 | +$99 / vessel / month |
| Vessels 11–30 | +$79 / vessel / month |
| Vessels 31+ | Custom, from +$59 / vessel / month |
| Implementation | From $2,500 |
Recurring vessel care in South Florida is commonly billed to owners at several hundred to a couple of thousand dollars per vessel, per month. Set against that, this sits at a single-digit percentage of the revenue it supports. We make no promise that it will win or retain any particular contract, only that the cost is small next to what you already charge for the work it documents.
What Marine OS logs on the dock doesn’t have to stop at your own records. Operators can offer their owners a finished, co-branded Vessel Passport or Yacht Passport built from that same inspection and service history, presented under your name, as part of the service you already provide. Terms for offering it through your business are set individually, on a working session.

A checklist tap saves to the device instantly and queues for the record; if the connection drops mid-visit, nothing is lost, it syncs the moment signal returns. What it doesn't yet do is let you start and work an entire visit from a point with zero connection from the outset; that's full offline operation, and it isn't there yet. We'd rather tell you exactly where that line sits than have you find out at the worst moment.
You do. The inspection results, photos, and technician records you enter belong to your company. The vessel-specific service history that accumulates into a Yacht Passport is treated as belonging to the vessel, so it can travel with her at a sale, the way a maintenance log ought to, but rarely does. We're explicit about that split at setup, so there's no ambiguity later.
You keep your work. Export of your vessel roster, inspection history, and photos in a plain format is part of the deal, not a retention lever. We're not going to hold your own records hostage to keep you as a customer.
Yes, that's the point. It's built mobile-first, for someone standing on a dock or in an engine room, not a desktop tool a technician has to walk back to the office to use.
Only what you publish. You control what goes into the owner view: you can complete an inspection and hold the write-up until it's ready, or keep a note private to your own team.
The Yacht Passport is designed to travel with the vessel at a sale, on terms the outgoing owner sets. It isn't tied to your contract with that owner, so the record you built doesn't have to end when the ownership does.
