YachtWave - Maintenance App

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!!

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.

Say goodbye to looking through your camera roll and writing in the notes app! Look I’m not one to review things ever, but when it’s this good I feel obligated to. This app has so much depth to it, there are things I never would have thought of and then some more. As a mechanic, and captain myself, this is the holy grail. An easy, organized place to keep all of my maintenance and equipment records. It allows documents, pdfs (service manuals), pictures all to be stored on the app under a certain product. AND ITS SO ADDICTING! Although not advised, I have spent my full day at work filling all my equipment information out. Currently fixing up an almost 40 year old boat, putting new wiring in, new systems, doing fiberglass work etc. This tells me what I still need to do, buy, or remove. It is all encompassing, and FREE! I thought for sure there would be a ton of ads or you get 3 steps in and it requires a subscription, but to be fair there is none of that. And that’s despite the fact that I WOULD pay a subscription, there is so much value in this. Take a mechanics word for it, please get this app!
