// The Problem

Boats are cared for.
The records rarely are.

Most boat owners take genuine pride in their vessel. Services are done on time, receipts are kept, work is done properly. But when it comes time to sell, years of that care disappear into a folder of loose paperwork that no one can make sense of. The boat deserves better than that.

We'd maintained her beautifully for eight years. At sale time, we couldn't show any of it in a way that made sense to a buyer.
— Private yacht owner, Pittwater
The surveyor asked for documentation. We spent two days pulling things together from email.
— Private yacht owner, presale survey
The records went with the broker but not with the boat. New owner had nothing to build on.
— Marine broker, 12 years experience
A well-documented boat commands a premium. Most sellers just can't present the evidence clearly.
— Independent marine surveyor

What a real log looks like.

This is Saltbreaker — a fictitious Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 with a 6-year history logged in TheYachtLog. A record that does justice to the care that went into her.

Turn years of care into
a record worth showing.

When you're ready to sell, TheYachtLog generates a complete, dated, photo-backed maintenance report in one click. The kind of document that gives surveyors confidence, helps brokers make their case, and lets buyers see exactly what they're getting.

The record belongs to the boat — not your subscription. Transfer it to the new owner at the point of sale, and they pick up exactly where you left off.
