Just what you need for your luxury boat in New Zealand
So if you ever move out to New Zealand and buy your own boat you need this clever new app.
Called BoatSmart, it’s part of a whole new BoatSmart service created for boat owners down under. I was asked to write website copy in the summer and it was a really interesting project. Needless to say, I didn’t get to go to New Zealand or even on a boat…
As I’m sure you know, the worst parts of owning a luxury boat are the prepping before a journey, and going through the same process when you get back to shore.
BoatSmart simply arranges for someone else to do it for you, so you can just concentrate on having unforgettable maritime adventures and not getting lost at sea.
BoatSmart provides two key services to sailors. Walk On is a managed service that ensures your vessel is fully staged, checked, operational and ready to go out on the water so you can climb aboard and cruise away. You simply book in advance using the app.
Walk Off is the perfect way to end a cruise. As soon as you dock, BoatSmart will get your vessel fully shipshape for the next adventure - clean, tidy, organised, checked and shut down. You can relax knowing that your boat has been well looked after and securely moored ready for the next journey.
Basically, the BoatSmart team manage the service and maintenance of your boat - so you don’t have to.
As soon as you become a member of BoatSmart, you’ll also be paired with an experienced First Mate who will become your go-to guy, managing the total maintenance of your vessel including a monthly Vessel Inspection Report (VIR).
The monthly VIRs can be tracked on the app and show the status of every system on the motor yacht. You can access all previous VIRs, initiate work orders and check work in progress simply by tapping a button on the BoatSmart app.
The BoatSmart subscription also includes membership of the Coastguard service to make sure you have peace of mind once you leave the marina.
In short, becoming a BoatSmart HQ member lets you enjoy the best bits of owning a boat – leaving the hard work to them and putting you in control.
