What Boats Managed does
Peace of mind that your boat is doing great. We help with the general upkeep, maintenance and care, and we help catch small problems early, before they turn into big, expensive ones.
Your log book, free
Maintenance log tracking is free in the app. Every visit, service, repair, part and receipt is recorded with dates and photos. When the time comes to sell, everything has been tracked and accounted for, with proof it was maintained: share a printable maintenance report with your buyer.
Checklists that fit
Inspections and maintenance services built from your own profile: a twin-outboard sportfisher and a cruising sailboat get different checks. Readings like battery voltage are required.
Service history and proof
Every fuel filter, impeller, anchor line and wiper blade, tracked per engine, with receipts and photos. A printable maintenance report to keep, or to show when you sell.
Float plans
Your boat details are filled in. Add the trip, people aboard and your position, then text or email it to your shore contacts with map links. Tap "I'm back safely" when you return.
Reminders
Boat registration, safety gear expiry, maintenance due, warranties, and your CPR/AED, captain's and fishing licenses. Add them to your phone's calendar.
Vendors and quotes
Trusted vendors see only their own jobs, recommend work and send quotes from a phone. Nothing is scheduled until the owner approves.
Documents and insurance
Optional: keep your policy, declarations page and ID card, plus title, registration, survey and marina contract, in one place, with renewal reminders. Never shared with vendors or included in sale packets.
Private by design
Your boat profile stays between you and your care team. Licenses and their photos are visible only to you.
How-to videos, and why
Every check comes with the reason behind it, like why snaps get lubricated or why we look at the oil. Plus a growing library of step-by-step videos for owners who like to do it themselves, matched to your engines and gear, maker and model.
Owners
See every record, approve quotes, keep your profile current and send float plans.
Technicians
Walk the boat with a checklist made for it, record readings and photos, and log what you serviced automatically.
Vendors
Track your jobs across boats, add notes and quotes on the dock, and close jobs out with completion details.
Care plans and prices
Every customer gets the full app
- A full boat profile: hull, engines by serial number, electronics, canvas, sails, registration and documents.
- Checklists built for your exact equipment, including your own every-trip checklist.

We handle the rest, so you can focus on your life
When your boat needs more than a check, we get it arranged and managed for you: maintenance, repairs and professional cleaning. We gather quotes, lay out your options, book the work with a licensed pro once you approve, and follow it through to done, with every step recorded in the app.
Care plans are available today for boats in Dana Point Harbor. The app works for any boat, wherever you keep it.

Prices are month to month; commit for 12 months and save 10%. Anything that runs a motor or a generator takes real time (an outboard runs about 15 minutes, then gets a 10-minute fresh-water flush), so engine and generator runs are add-ons priced per run, never hidden in a plan. Every plan visit is a visual check; the deeper 90-day, 6-month and 12-month packages are add-ons, charged when each one is done. Checks are included in your plan; anything beyond a check is billed separately, and on-site parts (wiper blades, dock lines, fenders) are billed at retail price plus a 10% service fee. We are not mechanics, riggers or sailmakers: we hire licensed pros and oversee the job, and out-of-water work goes through a boatyard. Your manufacturer's maintenance schedule always takes priority over our typical intervals.

Questions
What does Boats Managed do?
We look after your boat between uses: regular check visits with a written report and photos, reminders before anything is due, Stormwatch checks before and after storms, and maintenance, repairs and professional cleaning arranged for you with qualified vendors, technicians and mechanics.
Where do you work?
Care plans are available for boats in Dana Point Harbor. The app works for any boat, wherever you keep it.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $65 a month, month to month: Watch at $65 and Managed at $165. Commit for 12 months and save 10%. One-off services start at $45, and you do not need a plan to book them.
Are you mechanics?
No. We check, record and report, and we book licensed pros for repairs and oversee the job. Out-of-water work goes through a boatyard. Your manufacturer's maintenance schedule always comes first.
What happens when a storm is coming?
Every plan includes Stormwatch. Before and after high wind or heavy rain we check your boat's fenders, dock lines, scuppers and bilge, whatever your regular schedule. We watch the forecast every day. Stormwatch starts with gusts of 35 mph or more, steady wind of 25 mph, or an inch of rain in a day, not ordinary rain. If we checked it in the last week, we check after the storm only, unless the weather is severe, and if a regular visit is due we do both on the same trip.
