RUN YOUR BOAT LIKE YOU MEAN IT. Boat Partner is the single app every boat owner needs. One place for your trip log, engine hours, maintenance, photos, weather, calendar and contacts. In 2.0 it comes with YachtBot, an AI host that knows your boat — and the part every owner needs is free. If you own a boat, this is your boat's home base. MEET YACHTBOT Talk to it like a boat radio. Hold and talk, or type. It answers out loud or in text. - Learns your boat from your photos: engine, electronics, panels, fittings. Everything it notices waits for your OK before it becomes fact. - Spots a trip in your photos and drafts the log. One tap to confirm. - Logs a trip, books the boat, files a report, records a service, or sets up the whole season from a conversation. - Opens with the one thing you want to know first: what's due, who has the boat, the weather at the slip. - You confirm, it writes. Anything that touches a record or reaches another person is a card you approve first. - 50 photo analyses a month. YachtBot is $24.99/month or $249/year and includes everything in Plus. YOUR BOAT, ORGANIZED — FREE - Trip Log: where you went, when you left and got back, every stop pinned on the map with notes for next time, hours per engine, fuel, distance. Drafts save on the phone. - Maintenance: a schedule that knows what's due by date or by engine hours, a history with cost, who did the work, and photos. A starter schedule is built in. - Engine and generator hours, kept current from your logs. - Photo gallery with automatic cloud sync, capture date and location. - Weather at your home port. - A calendar for your own plans. - Emergency and service contacts, marina info, and your boat's specs in one place. One boat. No card. WORKS WHEN YOU'RE ON THE WATER Full offline support. Log a trip and check the schedule without cell service at the dock. Everything syncs when you're back in range. WANT TO CUT YOUR BOATING COSTS? Add partners to your boat and split the expenses. Boat Partner handles the part that usually kills shared ownership: coordination. That's Plus. - Invite your partners. Everyone sees the same boat. - Shared calendar: who has the boat each week, color-coded, with trades. - Messages and boat notices with the boat as the thread. No more group text that nobody reads. - Issue reports with photos, assigned and closed where everyone can see. - Trip costs by the hour or by fuel, settled from the log. - How-to videos for your boat, plus a seamanship library. - As many boats as you run. SOLO OR SHARED — SAME APP Most owners start solo. Organize your boat, log your trips, build your photo history. If you add partners later, everything's already set up. Try a fully loaded demo boat first. BUILT BY A BOAT OWNER Built by someone who got tired of the same problems you have. THE PLANS Free: one boat, the trip log, maintenance, photos, weather and calendar. No card. Plus: your partners aboard, as many boats as you run. $9.99/month or $99.99/year, first month free. YachtBot: the AI host, with everything in Plus. $24.99/month or $249/year. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Everything you put into Boat Partner belongs to you.
