Good App. missing some key features that would make it great

Love it so far but missing a few key features

1) Export Equipment, Inventory, Machinery, & Maintenance Records to PDF / Word Document

2) Import Survey to automatically generate equipment list and/or maintenance tasks

3) Duplicate items (equipment, machinery) I spent way too much time creating things and filling out the same information 5-10 times. Duplicate and edit would have saved me loads of time

4) multiple attachments per maintenance record and manage attachments. I have invoices, photos, repair notes. And I can only attach 1 item per maintenance record. And there is no way to remove attachments.

5) need more location options for equipment. Ex (port & starboard for when I just want one piece of equipment to manage say 2 fuel tanks or props, also things like cabin - fwd, and service panel above/ below <location>.

Hi "Good, close to great"! Appreciate the input and detailed suggestions. We are happy you are enjoying the functionality of YACHTWAVE, and we are listening closely to user feedback to improve the areas that need a little more work. As you continue managing your vessel in YACHTWAVE, don't hesitate to reach out to crew@yachtwave.com with additional suggestions or questions you have! Smooth sailing this summer!

Great App!

Wonderful, comprehensive app for tracking boat tasks and keeping track of maintenance. Early versions could be buggy, but developers have clearly been working hard and app is a lot more stable and functionality has grown significantly. I couldn’t maintain my boat in top-top condition without this app. Love it

Maintenance app

This app has been very beneficial to me. I conduct most of the basic maintenance on my Tiara 36 Open. The app helps me keep organized and gives me the ability to quickly see what and when I’ve done or had maintenance done. The ability to insert pictures of the work also helps along with being able to quickly see things instead of trying to dig through paper records any time or place is so nice.

Hi fbertjr, thank you so much for the 5-star review! We built YACHTWAVE specifically to solve the 'spreadsheet shuffle,' so we’re thrilled to hear that having your maintenance schedules and history, along with pictures of the boat, in one place is making your life on the water easier. We love the feedback and keep further developing the app when we receive suggestions and comments that better help our customers. Keep the feedback coming. We’re glad to have you on board!

Excellent support!

Just what we needed

Purchased a 2001 Carver 396 to do the Great Loop and of course she needs a lot of work to get ready to leave in 3 months. Yacht Wave has been just what we need to track and log maintenance, repairs and upgrades. Highly recommend!

This Ap is so helpful in not only organizing all of your maintenance and paperwork, but also pings you when tasks come up for maintenance. It also demonstrates to a future buyer that you take the maintenance seriously, and adds value to the boat when that day comes to sell her. I’ve used this AP on my last 3 boats and have been very pleased with its ease of use and efficiency.

We’re glad to hear to hear you have success with your last 3 boats. We are glad to have you on board!

Really helpful

I tried spreadsheets, lists, notes apps, nothing made sense to track my boat equipment and service logs, until I found YachtWave. I have all of my equipment listed, links to manuals and every service item tracked. I can access the data on my phone, iPad or Mac; it just makes sense.

Seems to have potential

It does, but really question these reviews here. All 5 star…and most of the seem to be written by the same person/language. Odd.

Update: have used the app for some time now along with others. This stands out as the best that I could find. I’ve communicated with the developer several times and has been most responsive. 5 stars!

I started using Yacht Wave this summer after purchasing a 2020 Carver C52. Boat is much more complex than previous boats I’ve owned. The YW app has been an invaluable tool to help me learn, operate and maintain my new boat. Super easy to create checklists, maintenance schedules, and keep track of critical parts, model numbers, owners manuals, etc. Much easier to pull up an owners manual on my YachtWave app when in the engine room than to dig thru multiple cases looking for the hard copy. Takes some work to set up, but that’s part of the process to learn boat systems, procedures and schedules. Awesome tool.

Company and Product are both Amazing

This app is amazing for tracking all of your boat maintenance and equipment, down to serial numbers and manuals. More importantly, when you do have a hiccup, Customer Support is super responsive and actually helpful; refreshing in today’s marine industry where vendors seem to think they hold all the cards and don’t have to provide any customer service!

This is the one!

As a new Yacht owner I demo’d all the available programs for management. None came close to YachtWave. It is simple and intuitive enough to be up and working in minutes, yet has the critical features needed to make it so powerful! (inventory, maintenance planning and tracking, powerful checklists, offline usage, repair manuals and photos, etc) Now we know where everything is on our boat, how many we have, and where and how to replenish stock, as well as a detailed maintenance log. All on our phones! Plus the development team is extremely responsive and constantly updating and fixing and adding new features. We are very happy with this product!

The closest to a comprehensive small fleet management solution I have found

I own a small company in Alaska, where we operate and maintain five vessels. This app is the closest thing I’ve found to a comprehensive solution for managing the maintenance of the vessels, tracking and logging hours and observations/issues on the vessels, and passing information from one captain to the next. We’re in the process of uploading for each of our vessels some “how-to” instructions we have created for fixing common mechanical issues on the water. The app has the potential to become an easily accessible manual of sorts for all of our captains.

There are still shortcomings (maintenance scheduling and tracking still needs improvement and isn’t very intuitive), and there’s little hacks we use to make the app work for us in areas that it is lacking, but I will say that the app is improving constantly, and the developers are fairly responsive. Nice work!!

Yachtwave App

I have a Selene 43 with many extra conveniences. After a lot of willing assistance by Captain John and his crew I set up my tasks and checks to futuristically prevent issues at sea. It is user friendly and absolutely aimed at preventative maintenance which in my mind is a must. Having a breakdown halfway across the Tasman even with a new diesel pump has convinced me Yachtwave is an essential part of passage making and Coastal cruising.

How squared away do you want to be

I wanted to wait a while to use the app before I writing this review. This app is freaking awesome! It’s so well thought out. I’m a Captain of a 75’ yacht that has many components of course and till I found this app, I was just saving everything in folders on Apple Files but it was very difficult. I’m a very diligent person and like to access any and all information, pics, documents at the drop of a dime. It just blows my mind how clean, neat and organized everything is.

It will take a while to build up your database but you can just do it as things break (lol) or need maintenance.

I really shouldn’t be saying this but this app shouldn’t be free. Def try it out and you will feel the same.
