A Complete Yacht Service History in One System
FirstMate is yacht service history software for vessel owners, engineers, and crew. It builds a structured, permanent record that stays with the vessel through ownership changes, crew rotations, and seasonal handovers.
Know your vessel. Stay ahead of maintenance.
What it does
From manuals to maintenance — in one system.
Chronological service record
Every maintenance task, repair, and service event creates a dated entry in your vessel's history. Nothing is lost between seasons, crew changes, or ownership transitions.
Owner-independent record
Service history lives in the vessel workspace, not on someone's personal device or in a private folder. It survives ownership changes and crew turnover automatically.
Grounded in documentation
Service records reference the manuals and specifications that informed the work, giving future owners, engineers, and surveyors full context — not just a list of dates and descriptions.
Resale and survey-ready
A structured, verifiable service history supports marine surveyor reviews and gives buyers confidence in the condition and maintenance standards of your vessel.

What makes it different
Not a paper service book. Not scattered invoices.
Paper books can be lost, damaged, or left behind
A physical service book is vulnerable to the vessel's conditions and changes of ownership. FirstMate keeps the record in the workspace — it travels with the vessel data, not with an individual.
Invoices without context don't tell the full story
A folder of receipts shows what was spent but not what was done, when, or against which specifications. FirstMate creates a structured record tied to the actual work and documentation.
Surveys and buyers need structured, verifiable records
Unstructured service history creates uncertainty during purchase surveys. A timestamped, documentation-backed record gives surveyors and buyers a clear picture with no gaps to explain.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
A complete service history demonstrates consistent maintenance, supports marine surveyors during pre-purchase inspections, and retains vessel value. Gaps in history often raise questions that cost time and money during any sale.
Record all routine maintenance — engine servicing, impeller changes, rigging inspection — as well as repairs, safety equipment checks, and significant work on onboard systems. Include dates, work completed, and any parts used.
As you use the maintenance features to create and complete tasks, each action is added to your vessel service record automatically. Over time, this builds a complete, searchable history without any extra effort.
You can upload existing service records as PDFs, and they become part of your vessel's document workspace. New records created within FirstMate add to the forward-going history from that point.
Yes. Authorised users can review the service history and supporting documentation within the workspace. This gives surveyors and buyers a clear, verifiable record with full supporting context.
