About

Dockestra

Features
Read full description

Dockestra is the operations app for yacht charter companies — the crews, captains and back office running a season together. CREW CHANNELS THAT MATCH THE FLEET Every yacht has its own channel. Every charter gets its own thread, opened before the guests arrive and closed after they leave, so a boat's conversation never turns into one endless scroll. Photos, fuel receipts and provisioning notes stay with the boat and the trip they belong to. THE BRIEFING, POSTED FOR YOU Before each charter the crew get a briefing card in the thread: guests, embarkation and disembarkation, the charterer, and the marine forecast for the station nearest the boat — wind in Beaufort, temperature, and a warning line when it builds. Nobody has to remember to send it. THE FLEET ON ONE CHART Live positions for every tracked boat, with heading and speed, and an honest account of the ones you cannot see: anchored, underway, in service, or no signal and for how long. Filter to what needs attention. THE DAY, AND THE WEEK Today shows what is happening across the fleet right now. Schedule shows the charters ahead, per boat and per day, with guest counts and the day of a multi-day charter. FOR THE OFFICE Charter details, contacts and commercials for every booking, alongside the conversation about it. Greek and English throughout. Dark by default, for a wheelhouse at night. ACCOUNTS Dockestra is sold to charter operators, and accounts are issued by your operator — there is no public sign-up. If your company uses Dockestra, ask your office for a login. If you would like to use it in your own fleet, get in touch.
