YachtZen The Art of Maintenance

Imagine having a bosun who knows your boat inside out and remembers everything.

YachtZen keeps your maintenance history, deadlines, invoices and onboard manuals in one place. And its AI answers questions about your boat, starting from your own data and your manuals.

We are opening the beta to a small group of boat owners. Write to us: we reply in person.

Ask YachtZen
How often should the raw water pump impeller be replaced?
The manual for your engines says to check or replace it every 12 months. Your log shows the last replacement in 2025: this year it should at least be checked.

Sound familiar?

It happens all the time: the information is there, but when you need it, you can't find it.

A boat's history lives in the owner's memory, in WhatsApp chats with the mechanic, in the folder of invoices.

"When did I change the impellers? Two years ago, maybe three."
"I have the invoices. Some in the car, some in my email."
"The mechanic told me to check the valve clearance. Then winter came."
"The generator manual is a hundred pages long. Who opens it?"

Bring in what you have

Is everything in a spreadsheet? We import it as it is, free. Take a photo of an invoice: the record fills itself in and you confirm.

Keep it all in order

History, deadlines, upgrades and costs in one place. You know what's coming and what it will cost you this year.

Ask your boat

YachtZen's AI knows your history and reads your manuals: it refers to the work already done, tells you what the manual says, and on which page.

Show how you've kept her

A tidy PDF report for the yard, your insurer or a buyer. A well-documented boat tells its story better.

It doesn't replace your mechanic. It hands them the full history.

Your yard and your trusted mechanic stay yours. YachtZen makes sure they reach the dock knowing what was done, when and by whom.

Join the Beta

We are looking for a small group of boat owners willing to use YachtZen on their own boat and tell us, frankly, what works and what doesn't.

Professionals and partners

Do you work with boats?

Yards, mechanics, storage, yacht clubs

A client whose history is in order is easier to look after. They come to you informed, with invoices and past work in one document.

Our partner proposal

Do you manage several boats?

We are building the version for people who look after several boats: captains, charter companies, surveyors. Will you help us get it right?
