The Entire Yacht Management. Simplified. In One Application
Yacht purchase is one of the biggest, most personal and beautiful investments in life. However, being able to enjoy the full benefits of yacht ownership requires another two crucial steps. Finding the right crew and providing them with a suitable software platform that allows them to organize their workflow while providing you, the owner, with crucial up-to-date information. You need to stay in control and make excellent decisions without excessive stress. If you already own a yacht, you know exactly what we are talking about.
In 2013 DeepBlue entered the market with its solution that was built on in-depth understanding of the yachting industry’s practices and the many shortcomings of the software platforms that existed. Since the early beginnings more than a decade ago, DeepBlue continues to expand on this premise, by now evolving into a full-fledged yacht management platform.
One of the DeepBlue founders notes during our interview: ‘Before we wrote a line of code, we asked ourselves a fundamental question. What is the biggest obstacle in making yacht management operations more efficient today? It turned out that crew-management miscommunication and lack of relevant information when you need it most was the no.1 reason crew was wasting time, while owners were wasting their money.
We set out to solve just that with a holistic approach.’ That is how Deep Blue built a comprehensive product consisting of multiple interconnected modules, that can handle the yacht operations in their entirety, nowadays serving hundreds of yachts ranging from 15 to 150m in size. Everything from finances, maintenance (PMS), inventory, safety (ISM), advanced reporting and a lot more is solved under one umbrella. The modular approach stems from the fact that private yachts differ widely in their requirements, and in specific cases, some may still choose to use their existing solutions to complement DeepBlue modules.
Guided by the maxim ‘If you have a crew, DeepBlue is for you,’ the platform is best suited for yachts 25 m and above. The dynamic nature of its pricing structure allows for the smaller yachts to benefit from significant savings in comparison to the large vessels.
The team at DeepBlue understands that managing a yacht cannot be solved by simply installing a fancy application. For this reason DeepBlue provides all initial crew introduction and training at no extra cost. Historical data and database imports are available and facilitated by DeepBlue’s experts.
Once properly set up, the crew will finally have access to a centralized database of all documentation, timesheets, accounting data and more, with user-level access permissions. No need for multiple versions of external spreadsheets and backups. No scattered data, no headaches. As an owner you would gain access to advanced reports that allow for smart budgeting decisions on-the-fly. For a full-time peace of mind, all data is protected by the highest ISMS standards and backed-up daily. Learn more at DeepBlue.app.
