Bringing boat maintenance into the internet age
YACHTONUS.com is the world’s first international online platform for yacht management. Launched in May 2011, it enables the set-up of an online yacht or motor boat profile including the components on board, their state of repair, and an integral maintenance plan. This profile can be continually updated to reflect wear and tear as e.g. sails stretch, components fail or running lines degrade. The profile acts as the online service book for the boat and contains all relevant maintenance information.
A yacht service supplier can offer to set up and maintain a customer’s boat profile including their maintenance plan which includes reminders for regular tasks or expiration dates for safety equipment. When key dates approach, reminders are sent to the owner and to the service supplier who scheduled them, creating a contact moment between supplier and customer.
Users can analyse their boat against predefined profiles for safety, offshore racing regulations or an Annual Boat Check, review the highest rated advice for items on board, raise questions with fellow boat owners and specialists as well as accessing required products or services with the click of a mouse. A “social network” feature enables owners to contact other owners with a similar boat or suppliers to maintain a community of customers for whom they provide services.
A growing network of harbours and marinas offer assistance to users around the world. Suppliers can post advice to the Knowledge area of the site to promote their expertise and services to all YACHTONUS users. Advice posted on the site will be indexed by the search engines and results in hits when people search for advice on internet, bringing them to your online profile on YACHTONUS.
At the time of writing there were around 300 users and 40 service suppliers or marinas using YACHTONUS.com. The benefits for harbours, marinas and service companies are:
- Offer an online boat maintenance service to all your customers
- Apply your knowledge to help the owner develop a good maintenance plan
- Professional boat management, well documented, oriented around the owner’s needs
- Reach new customers and other users transiting your harbour area
