Crew Maintenance Planning That Reflects How You Work
FirstMate is a crew maintenance planning system for yachts and working vessels. It helps teams schedule work, manage recurring tasks, and give incoming crew a clear picture of what is needed — without verbal briefings or personal notes.
Know your vessel. Stay ahead of maintenance.
What it does
From manuals to maintenance — in one system.
Planning timeline
Schedule upcoming maintenance across a clear timeline. See what is due, what is overdue, and what is planned for the season ahead — without searching through separate notes and reminders.
Recurring work visibility
Set up repeating maintenance intervals for engine servicing, safety checks, and seasonal preparation. Nothing gets missed in a busy schedule or between crew rotations.
Crew handover records
When crew change, the planning record and service history give incoming crew immediate context — the right information without relying on briefings or personal notes from the previous team.
Documentation-grounded planning
Planned tasks link back to the technical documentation that specifies them. Crew follow the right procedures for your specific equipment, not generic guidance from memory.

What makes it different
Not a task list. Not a shared calendar.
Task lists don't connect to vessel documentation
A task manager tells crew what to do but not how to do it or which manual to follow. FirstMate links every planned task back to the specifications for your specific equipment.
Shared calendars don't carry vessel context
Scheduling maintenance in a calendar means the context for each task lives somewhere else — in a different file, an email, or someone's memory. FirstMate keeps it in the same workspace.
Handovers shouldn't depend on one person
When crew change, knowledge should not leave with them. FirstMate's planning record and service history give incoming crew everything they need without a verbal briefing.
