Yacht Forms vs YachtSync

Simple intuitive interface to complete any form on board commercial or private vessels Perfect for both paper and digital safety management solutions. Yacht Forms automatically generates PDF versions of your completed forms and emails them to an independent archive of your choice Approved by all flag and class authorities for Mini ISM, Large Yacht and PAX safety compliance operations

Sending your certificates to a crew agent should take a minute, not an evening of renaming files. YachtSync files them all, tracks what expires when, and exports the lot named the way the agent asked. Free for crew. Always. TRY IT WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Tap Try it first and start adding certificates. No email, no card. Add an email and password when you are ready, and everything you added stays with you. SCAN INSTEAD OF TYPING Photograph a certificate or upload a PDF. The AI reads the title, expiry date, document type and issuing authority. You check it and save. The free plan includes 3 AI scans in total, 50 MB of storage and 20 certificates, and needs no card. KNOW WHAT IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE Every certificate colour-coded at a glance. Teal for valid, amber for expiring soon, red for expired. A six-month renewal timeline shows what is coming, so you can book the course before it fills up. Push notifications 90, 30 and 7 days before an expiry date, plus reminder emails at 90, 60, 30, 14 or 7 days. THE CERTIFICATES IT KNOWS 77 types, with rank and refresher variants. STCW, Certificates of Competency for deck, engineering and electro-technical, medicals including ENG1, Cayman and Marshall Islands, GMDSS, RYA, HELM, ECDIS and WSET. Competency variants follow the MCA's own structure. One Certificate of Competency card holds every endorsement you hold, OOW Unlimited to Master Unlimited, EOOW to Chief Engineer, the way your physical certificate holds them. SEA TIME, DAY BY DAY Set your vessels up once, sign on, then tag each day as sea days, watchkeeping, standby, shipyard or onboard non-qualifying. Recurring mode fills days forward, so you do not have to open the app daily. Onboard service and qualifying sea service stay as two separate totals, the standby and shipyard caps are applied to the qualifying figure, and raw days sit beside credited days. Export as PDF or CSV, and your totals feed the Careers tab, which shows the gap to your next ticket. It is your own record, not an MCA-recognised testimonial, and YachtSync does not verify or countersign sea service. SEND IT THE WAY THEY ASKED Set your file naming format once and every certificate downloads with the right filename. Export the whole portfolio as a ZIP in a few taps, then send it to an agent, a captain or a recruiter. COVER PAGE FOR YOUR FOLDER Generate an A4 cover sheet for the front of your physical cert folder. Every certificate listed and colour-coded, with a blank column to write in which folder page each one lives on. SHARE WITH NO SIGNAL Certificates save to your phone as you add them, so you can share one at sea with no signal. Sign in on a new phone and everything is there. TRAINING DIRECTORY Search 100+ listed training providers and their course dates from inside the app, then click through to book. Needs a connection. PRIVACY We never sell your data. Scanning sends the document to our AI provider, Anthropic, to read the dates, and under their terms it is not used to train their models. Read what we collect and who processes it at yachtsync.uk/privacy. Your physical originals stay with you. YachtSync tracks them, it does not replace them. YACHTSYNC PRO Optional. £39 a year, £4.99 a month or £99 once, for 500 MB of storage, unlimited certificates, unlimited AI scans and bulk upload.
