First Mate — your AI companion for smarter boat management.

Simplify maintenance, organize your records, and get answers grounded in your boat's records, with sources you can check.

A boat this significant should include a living record of itself.

A boat like this is a significant investment. The knowledge behind it — how it was built, what's aboard, what's been serviced and who to call — deserves the same care. Your boat's records should be easy to reach, whether you're aboard, planning from home or working with your captain.

So First Mate turns its whole operating life into one place — maintenance, shared to-dos, equipment, spares & stock, provisioning, digital manuals, and vendors — all accessible from a chat agent grounded in your boat's records, with sources you can check.

01

Ask your boat anything

Get answers from your boat's documents, equipment and service history, with sources you can check. You and your crew can find what you need without routing every question through one person.

02

Your boat, your starting point

Bring your existing lists, combine scattered records, or choose starter lists for supported models. Review what applies to your boat, confirm what's aboard, and see where your spares & stock fall short.

03

Stay informed, aboard or away

See what's been serviced, what's due next and what needs attention. You and your captain work from the same maintenance schedule and service history, whether you're aboard or planning from home.

04

Build on the records you already keep

Bring your manuals, receipts and spreadsheets together. Review proposed changes before applying them, and keep building on the work you've already done.
