Marine & Maritime

Software as at home on the water as your fleet.

We've built more software for the marine and maritime world than almost any other sector — and we understand its quirks. Tide windows, vessel safety logs, member seniority, weather dependencies, complex booking rules and the very specific way boat clubs actually operate. Our platforms are trusted by clubs across the UK to replace WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets with something genuinely fit for purpose.

The challenge

Most boat clubs and maritime operators are still running on a combination of shared spreadsheets, WhatsApp group chats and tribal knowledge. Bookings clash, safety records are incomplete, fuel billing is guesswork and committee members spend their weekends doing admin that software could handle in seconds.

Our approach

We've shipped production maritime platforms that handle real-time fleet bookings with automatic conflict prevention, tidal and weather integrations that surface conditions directly in the booking flow, automated fuel tracking and member billing, digital vessel inspection logs and safety incident reporting. Everything accessible from any device, no app download required.

What we build

Smart Fleet Booking

Real-time availability with automatic double-booking prevention, waitlist management, seniority rules and booking restrictions — all configurable by your committee without touching code.

Live Weather & Tidal Integration

Tidal forecasts and live weather conditions surfaced directly in the booking interface. Members book with full situational awareness. Committees can set automatic restrictions based on conditions.

Fuel, Billing & Member Accounts

Automated fuel usage tracking, member statements and billing. No more end-of-month spreadsheet reconciliation — every trip logged, every charge calculated, every statement generated automatically.

Safety & Compliance

Digital vessel inspection logs, safety incident reporting and crew sign-on records. A complete, searchable safety history for every vessel — ready for any RYA, port authority or insurance inspection.

Every project is different. We recommend the right tools for your requirements — not the ones we happen to know. These are the technologies we reach for most often in this sector.
