Stop missing maintenance. Know what's due, what's onboard, and where to get the part.

Vessel Ready gives cruising boat owners a proper maintenance system — with engine-hour scheduling, spare-parts tracking, cross-referenced parts sourcing, certificate reminders, and clean service history that transfers with the boat when you sell.

Service history scattered across notes, spreadsheets, and memory

Vessel Ready helps you stay ahead of maintenance before it becomes downtime, cost, or stress.

How It Works

1. Add your boat

Set up your boat, engine, generator, and current hours in minutes.

2. Get the right schedule

Import recommended tasks matched to your setup, with date and hour intervals.

3. Track spares and certificates

See what parts are onboard, what's low, and what certificates are coming due.

4. Record the work

Complete tasks, log hours and notes, and keep a clean maintenance history.

What You Get

Know what's due now

Overdue, upcoming, and on track — one dashboard, no guessing.

Track engine and generator hours

Log hours and the system calculates when the next service is due.

Know what spare parts are onboard

Stock levels, low warnings, OEM part numbers, and cross-references to Sierra, WIX, Jabsco, and other brands. Auto-decrement when you complete a task.

Source parts anywhere in the world

Every low-stock item links to Amazon, West Marine, Fisheries Supply, and Defender — with OEM part numbers and cross-references so you can find the same part under any brand name, in any port.

Your history transfers when you sell

Generate a transfer link and the new owner inherits your full service history, equipment list, certificates, and inventory — in their own account. A documented boat sells faster and for more.

Keep a clean service history

Date, hours, cost, photos — ready for resale, survey, or insurance.

Get certificate and safety reminders

Expiry dates tracked with advance warnings so nothing lapses quietly.

FAQ

Do I need to enter everything manually?

No. Start with your boat and key equipment, then Vessel Ready does the heavy lifting. If your engine, generator, or watermaker is in the catalog, the right service tasks, part numbers, and inventory items can be created automatically. You can also use AI to describe equipment in plain English or scan labels from a photo, then review and confirm everything before it is saved.

Can I start simple and add more later?

Yes. Add your boat and engine first, then build the rest at your own pace. Certificates, inventory, safety equipment, and tank details can all be added later. A setup checklist shows what is done and what still needs attention.

What if I already track things in notebooks or spreadsheets?

That works until it does not. Vessel Ready replaces scattered notes with one system that tracks due dates, engine hours, certificates, service history, and parts inventory in one place. AI can also help turn rough notes and service logs into structured records faster.

Can I source parts through the app?

Yes. Every item on your low-stock list includes the OEM part number, known cross-references (Sierra, WIX, Jabsco, CEF, and others), and direct links to suppliers including Amazon, West Marine, Fisheries Supply, and Defender. You can filter by region — US, Canada, UK, or Caribbean — so you're always looking at suppliers that can actually reach you.

Does it work for older boats?

Yes. Older boats usually need more structure, not less. If your equipment is in the catalog, Vessel Ready can build the related tasks and parts list automatically. If it is not, you can add your own equipment, tasks, and service intervals in minutes. AI can also help identify equipment from labels and organize incomplete records.

Can I use it if I do most maintenance myself?

Yes. That is exactly who it is built for. Vessel Ready helps owner-operators stay on top of what is due, what parts are needed, and what work has been done. AI can help explain tasks, speed up setup, and keep service records cleaner without taking control away from you.

What happens after the 14-day trial?

You choose the plan that fits. Nothing you entered is lost — your data carries over. Trial users get 50 AI credits to try the AI tools. Owner includes 20 AI credits per month, Pro includes 100 per month, Fleet includes 200 per month, and extra credits can be added anytime. Cancel anytime, no contracts.

What happens to my records when I sell the boat?

You generate a transfer link from your settings. The new owner creates their own Vessel Ready account and takes over the complete history — every service record, equipment entry, certificate, and inventory item. Nothing is lost. A fully documented vessel history is a genuine selling point and can support a higher asking price.

What types of boats is this for?

Vessel Ready is built for cruising sailboats, catamarans, and private motor yachts up to about 60 feet. It is designed for owner-operators and hands-on captains, not superyachts, charter fleets, or casual dayboats.

What do the AI features do?

AI helps you set up and maintain your boat faster. You can describe equipment in plain English, scan a nameplate or part label from a photo, get troubleshooting help, and turn rough service notes into structured records. Trial users get 50 AI credits. Owner includes 20 AI credits per month for basic use. Pro includes 100 per month (5× Owner) for power users, Fleet includes 200 per month, and extra credits can be added anytime.

Does Vessel Ready work on Mac, iPad, and phones?

Yes. Vessel Ready is a web-based app. It works on modern browsers including Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on Mac, Windows, iPad, Android tablets, and phones. No PC installation is required.

Who built Vessel Ready?

Vessel Ready was built by a Master Mariner with over 20 years of commercial maritime experience and 7 years of full-time liveaboard cruising. It brings commercial-style maintenance structure to private cruising boats.
