The Problem
When maintenance runs on memory, jobs slip
Whether you're a private yacht owner or managing a commercial fleet — the problem is the same. Scheduled maintenance lives on paper or in someone's head, and daily jobs live in text threads and sticky notes. Either one costs you money. Together they cost you a vessel.
Breakdowns always happen at the worst moment — and always cost more than the service would have
Without a system, jobs fall through the cracks and deferred work compounds quietly until something fails
Reactive maintenance is always more expensive than proactive — for a solo owner-operator or a fleet running around the clock
The Solution
One vessel maintenance system. Every job, every vessel, under control.
Vessel Vanguard brings preventive maintenance, daily tasks and service records into one vessel maintenance platform. Plan work, track completion and manage one vessel or an entire fleet—with fewer missed jobs, less downtime and better control over maintenance costs.
Works offline — at sea or at the dock
Full functionality with no internet connection. Log work, complete checklists, and update records wherever your vessel takes you. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online.
Support available any time, day or night
Vessel operations don't run 9 to 5, and neither does our support team. Reach a real person whenever you need help — whether you're prepping for a departure or troubleshooting mid-voyage.
Preventive Maintenance
Plan the work that prevents the breakdown
Schedule preventive maintenance against how your vessel actually operates — engine hours, calendar intervals, or operational cycles. Automated alerts keep you ahead of every service interval, and full equipment history stays with the boat — ready for survey, resale, or the next owner.
Recurring Maintenance Schedules
Trigger by engine hours, calendar intervals or operating cycles — the system matches how your vessels actually run.
Work Order Tracking
Create, assign and track work orders from open to complete, with full history and mobile access for technicians.
Complete Equipment History
Every service logged against the component it belongs to — searchable, exportable, and ready for the next audit.
Automated Alerts
Maximize vessel uptime and safety by preventing equipment failures, while also tracking compliance, with Automated Alerts.
Task Management
The planned and unexpected work that keeps any vessel ready
Maintenance schedules handle what you know is coming. Tasks handle what crops up mid-voyage, on a Saturday morning, or during a handover — and the recurring checks that protect the equipment you rely on. Both live in the same place, both follow the same simple workflow.
Ad Hoc Tasks
Raise faults, repairs and one-off jobs the moment they appear. Attach photos and receipts, assign responsibility, and track to completion.
Recurring Tasks
Link recurring checks to the equipment they protect. The platform tracks hours, prompts action and keeps the schedule honest.
The Full Picture
A clear view of every open, overdue and complete task — whether you're the captain, the owner, or both. Nothing stays stale.
Traffic Light Status
Green, amber and red at a glance — instantly see what's on track, what's due, and what needs attention now.
Assignment & Notifications
Assign tasks to yourself, a captain, or a full crew — and get real-time mobile alerts when status changes.
Single Vessel or Fleet View
Built for an owner-operator and scales to a fleet of any size — compare maintenance spend and outstanding work across every hull you run.
Export & Reporting
Clean exports for audits, insurance renewals, survey prep, and ongoing maintenance reporting.
