The Sharing feature in TheBoatApp allows users to share their boat's data with others, such as family, friends, crew, technicians, and mechanics. This promotes collaboration and ensures that all relevant parties have access to necessary information. Sharing can be configured to grant either view-only or edit rights, depending on the boat owner's preferences8. Notifications and alerts for inventory, tasks, and other due items are also sent to sharing recipients.
Sharing is caring! Share your whole boat or selectively your inventory, tasks, checklists, documents, etc. You decide who needs to know what.
We love paperless record keeping and apps but we bet that an old-fashioned printable report (e.g. pdf) is needed from time to time. Some people/agencies still love their papers and thus you should be able to comply and get it in print for them! (e.g. this amazing mechanic of yours that thinks that mobile phones are just for making calls, some authority in need of a boat document hard-copy, etc).
TheBoatApp provides you with a document management software system functionality so that you may have central storage of all your boat-related documents (e.g. manuals, certificates, licenses, etc). These will be digitally available to you, always fully water and humidity resistant! Each of them linked to the respective record (e.g. inventory, task, etc), having accurate expiration date information so that you and your crewmates can be notified, ahead of time (pre-alert).
Cloud Storage allows users of TheBoatApp to store all their marine data, including documents, log records, photos, and manuals, in a single, accessible repository. This ensures that users' marine life is fully catalogued, organised, and backed up, accessible from anywhere on any device, whether online or offline. This feature contributes to improved safety, legal compliance, peace of mind, lower operational costs, and a higher reselling price for boats
Your data need space to grow. Go ahead and store your documents, log-records, photos, manuals, etc. Your marine life in a single repository
TheBoatApp offers a User-defined Fields (Custom Fields) feature, allowing users to define and track unique attributes for their data records, such as inventory items. This feature enhances data management by providing flexibility beyond the standard fields, enabling users to tailor the application to their specific needs.
Do you want to personalise your boat? Do so with your own user-defined fields for your boat.
TheBoatApp's Dashboard provides users with a comprehensive overview of their boating data, offering a snapshot of trips, tasks, alerts, and costs. This centralised view allows users to quickly identify items needing attention, such as upcoming expiration dates or outstanding tasks, and provides insights into expenditures over a given period. The Dashboard aims to offer a holistic and at-a-glance understanding of a user's boating activities and associated data.
One picture equals a thousand words, thus here is the centralised view of your data! Get drill-down views into your data, including costs per month and category, ongoing trips overview, overdue or forthcoming tasks and alerts.
The Highest Ranking Boats feature on TheBoatDB offers users a curated view of the most popular boats, based on their search and viewing frequency. This feature serves as a valuable tool for boat enthusiasts, providing insights into current trends and what other users find most engaging. It helps users quickly identify boats that have garnered significant attention within the boating community, streamlining their discovery process and offering a starting point for further exploration and comparison. These are the top-searched and top-viewed boats that boat enthusiasts like you love the most.
The Favourite Boats feature within TheBoatDB allows users to shortlist boats they are interested in for future reference, making the process of discovering, comparing, and benchmarking vessels more efficient and effective. Mark the boats that you like and include them in your shortlist for easy reference and comparison or benchmarking.
The Discover User Boats feature on TheBoatDB allows users to explore boats owned by other users25. This feature provides value by enabling discovery and comparison of various boat types and categories. Discover private boats, already cruising the seven seas or possibly docked next to yours.
The Search & Explore feature is the gateway to TheBoatDB's massive, open database of boat specifications. It is designed to empower prospective buyers, boat owners, and enthusiasts by providing a structured way to navigate through thousands of boat models. Rather than relying on scattered information across the internet, users can access a centralised repository to discover vessels that match their specific preferences or curiosity.
This feature adds significant value by simplifying the discovery process. Whether a user is searching for a specific model by name or exploring broad categories (such as sailing yachts, catamarans, or powerboats), the platform provides detailed specifications, metrics, and ratios. This transparency allows users to make data-driven decisions, moving beyond simple aesthetics to understand the technical capabilities and characteristics of different vessels. It effectively serves as the foundational research tool before moving into deeper analysis like comparing and benchmarking.
Find those boats satisfying your criteria and add them to your shortlist for later reference or further comparisons, being able to easily benchmark side-by-side any boat.
The Compare & Benchmark feature: an easily accessible and user-friendly boat comparisons & benchmarking section. Compare your boat with any other boat registered in the database, including your shortlisted ones.
Compare boat manufacturers, models, engines, weights and a lot more. Full comparison on all boat specifications and characteristics, including comparison of marine ratios such as displacement hull speed, displacement to length, sail-area to displacement, etc.
Be able to spot at a glance differences and initiate new comparisons by swiftly adding/removing boats.
My Boats (user-boats), is designed to help users manage their personal boat information and compare it with other models. It acts as a centralised repository for all marine data related to a user's vessel, integrating seamlessly with TheBoatApp for comprehensive data tracking and management. This feature provides significant added value by allowing users to keep their boating life organised, accessible, and backed-up, contributing to improved safety, legal compliance, peace of mind, lower operational costs, and potentially a higher reselling price for their boat.
Register your boat, including all its technical characteristics and specifications. Have automatic marine ratios calculations, like displacement hull speed, displacement to length, sail-area to displacement, etc. Include customised elements and systems you have added, like bow-thruster, water maker, etc. Shortlist other boats and compare side to side.
