Run your boat like a Salty Sea Captain

Staying on top of the myriad of vessel jobs and maintenance is not only desirable but essential. Even on a small vessel, the amount of systems and tasks that must be kept straight and timely can be daunting and if forgotten, lead to at best costly repairs and at worst to the loss of the vessel. This enterprise tool allows a captain, manager, or owner to run a small boat they crew alone or a large ship with many crew members without being overwhelmed by the tool itself. The only vessel management system that was designed from the ground up instead of a repurposed tool or a limmited phone app.

Check Lists

Do things right every time

There is a quickly accessible check list module that allows you to set up checklists for any procedure you want followed. These are separate from maintenance tasks and help with things like engine start steps and other operating procedures. The Checklist Dash allows you to customize the button icons as well as organize them how best works for your boat.

Vessel info

At the Ready

Have all the important vessel information at the ready. This tool lets you quickly access this info at the most important times. Wether you are asked by a lock operator what your registration number is, or you are getting hauled out and need to know your weight, or crossing under a bridge or over a sand bar and want to know your draft or air draft.

Sea Captain Storage

Storage Items

Keep everything organized

We have all spent hours trying to find that important spare part or item we need on board only to give up and go to the store to buy another. If you are out in the water this is not a good option. Find tools, spare parts, and supplies when you need them instead of rebuying things you already have. It takes seconds to locate your things on board.

Storage Locations

Find Anything within seconds even years after you stored it. Our system utilizes a sophisticated nesting storage system that makes finding things easy. Even a brand new crew member will know where items are with no training.

Fleet Management (Soon)

$500

We are launching a fleet enterprise system to manage several vessels that utilize Sea Captain Software on board. Call us for details.

Crew Accounts

The number of crew accounts determines how many different crew can have jobs assigned to them and be tracked as separate users in the system. With Commander you can have as many people using the software but the software thinks everyone is the same user with one login. Captain has 3 crew accounts so you get as many as 3 logins and tasks can be assigned to 3 different crew members (example. Captain, Engineer, Steward ). Admiral can have unlimited crew accounts.

Devices 

Commander and Captain are installed on a single iPad and that is the only device that can access the software. Admiral comes with a server that we install on your vessel. There is no limit to how many iPads, Macintosh, or Windows computers can access the server from onboard the vessel or remotely. For remote access the vessel must have it's own internet connection.

Included Service

You let us know what engines, generators, air conditioners, and other major systems you have and we will add their individual digital manuals to your software as well as set up all their recommended scheduled maintenance jobs in the software for no additional charge. You can add your own or modify the ones we provide to add your personal preferences to each job.

White Glove Services 

If you do not want to set up your boat's storage layout, inventory all your stuff we will send an experienced crew member to set it all up for you. This is quoted on a case by case basis and is billed by the hour depending on your location. Please call for a quote and details.

Digital Light Switching 

There is no charge for the optional digital light switching module on the software. The wireless relays needed for it to control lights or circuits are installed by a licensed marine electrician at an additional cost.
