Say goodbye to looking through your camera roll and writing in the notes app! Look I’m not one to review things ever, but when it’s this good I feel obligated to. This app has so much depth to it, there are things I never would have thought of and then some more. As a mechanic, and captain myself, this is the holy grail. An easy, organized place to keep all of my maintenance and equipment records. It allows documents, pdfs (service manuals), pictures all to be stored on the app under a certain product. AND ITS SO ADDICTING! Although not advised, I have spent my full day at work filling all my equipment information out. Currently fixing up an almost 40 year old boat, putting new wiring in, new systems, doing fiberglass work etc. This tells me what I still need to do, buy, or remove. It is all encompassing, and FREE! I thought for sure there would be a ton of ads or you get 3 steps in and it requires a subscription, but to be fair there is none of that. And that’s despite the fact that I WOULD pay a subscription, there is so much value in this. Take a mechanics word for it, please get this app!

The closest to a comprehensive small fleet management solution I have found
Iceabenezer
I own a small company in Alaska, where we operate and maintain five vessels. This app is the closest thing I’ve found to a comprehensive solution for managing the maintenance of the vessels, tracking and logging hours and observations/issues on the vessels, and passing information from one captain to the next. We’re in the process of uploading for each of our vessels some “how-to” instructions we have created for fixing common mechanical issues on the water. The app has the potential to become an easily accessible manual of sorts for all of our captains. There are still shortcomings (maintenance scheduling and tracking still needs improvement and isn’t very intuitive), and there’s little hacks we use to make the app work for us in areas that it is lacking, but I will say that the app is improving constantly, and the developers are fairly responsive. Nice work!!

How squared away do you want to be
Mike the Amazing
I wanted to wait a while to use the app before I writing this review. This app is freaking awesome! It’s so well thought out. I’m a Captain of a 75’ yacht that has many components of course and till I found this app, I was just saving everything in folders on Apple Files but it was very difficult. I’m a very diligent person and like to access any and all information, pics, documents at the drop of a dime. It just blows my mind how clean, neat and organized everything is. It will take a while to build up your database but you can just do it as things break (lol) or need maintenance. I really shouldn’t be saying this but this app shouldn’t be free. Def try it out and you will feel the same.

As a new Yacht owner I demo’d all the available programs for management. None came close to YachtWave. It is simple and intuitive enough to be up and working in minutes, yet has the critical features needed to make it so powerful! (inventory, maintenance planning and tracking, powerful checklists, offline usage, repair manuals and photos, etc) Now we know where everything is on our boat, how many we have, and where and how to replenish stock, as well as a detailed maintenance log. All on our phones! Plus the development team is extremely responsive and constantly updating and fixing and adding new features. We are very happy with this product!

- NEW: Build checklists faster than ever! Eligible vessels now unlock an expanded library of advanced, professionally-crafted checklist templates — just pick one and you're ready to go in seconds.
- NEW: Tickets - Reporting an issue on the boat just got effortless. Any crew member can raise a ticket in seconds — just type a quick subject and a few details about the problem, and you’re done. No long forms, no decisions to make, no one to assign — perfect for the moment you spot something on the dock and need to log it before you forget. Snap photos to add detail and share with the team in one tap. Back in the office, managers and administrators review the ticket queue and, with one tap, convert any ticket into a task assigned to the right person for resolution — turning quick crew reports into tracked, accountable work.
- NEW: Notes on Tasks! Every task now has its own dedicated conversation. Open any task and you’ll find a brand-new Notes tab — a shared space where the whole crew can post questions, answers, status updates, and decisions, all kept right alongside the task they belong to. Instead of scattered texts, emails, or radio chatter, the back-and-forth lives where the work lives, so anyone picking up the task can read the full history and jump in. Every note shows who wrote it and when, and the most recently touched conversations float to the top so the freshest activity is always front and center. Tap to expand and read the full note, edit your own anytime — communication and accountability, all in one place.
- NEW: Recurring Task Checklists - Recurring tasks now bring their checklists with them! Set up a task once with the checklist of steps you want — wash, rinse, inspect, sign off — and the next time it recurs, the brand-new task is already loaded with the exact same checklist, ready to go. No more re-attaching the same checklist every week, month, or season. Effectively, any recurring task with a checklist is now a reusable task template that does the setup work for you. Set it once, run it forever.
- NEW: Help Files - Finally, every screen in the app now has its own built-in web-based help with step-by-step instructions, tips, and frequently asked questions tailored to that specific feature. No more guessing, no more hunting for answers — just tap and learn.
- NEW: Advanced Tasks - Editions with Advanced Tasks can now set custom Task Statuses (such as "Needs Attention" or "On Hold") for improved reference and visibility.
- NEW: Cruise Logs! Record your voyages with detailed cruise logs. Add checklists, notes, and photos to document your adventures on the water. Cruise logs are perfect for keeping a sailing journal, tracking trip details, and sharing your journeys with friends and family.
- IMPROVED: Better tablet landscape mode support across the app, with optimized layouts and navigation for larger screens.
- IMPROVED: This version contains various bug fixes and performance enhancements.
