MyDeckhand

Built to make boat ownership simpler.

A record-keeping and assistance app for recreational boat owners — from a first boat to a well-kept cruising yacht.

Our mission

MyDeckhand was created to make boat ownership simpler.

Owning a boat should be about getting out on the water — not searching through folders, receipts, manuals and old messages trying to remember when something was last serviced.

MyDeckhand brings your boat's maintenance, records, documents and useful AI assistance together in one place, helping you stay organised and stay on top of the jobs that matter.

Our goal is simple: make managing your boat easier, so you can spend more time enjoying it.

Company story

MyDeckhand Ltd was created to build a better digital experience for recreational boat owners.

The first version of MyDeckhand has been designed around the everyday tasks that come with owning a boat — recording maintenance, keeping service history, storing important documents and having useful information available when you need it.

We're starting in the UK, with the ambition to build MyDeckhand into a platform that can support boat owners wherever they are.

The product is being developed with feedback from real users, and our beta programme is an important part of that process.

We're not trying to build everything at once. We're focused on building the tools boat owners actually need, learning from how they're used, and improving MyDeckhand over time.

Today, MyDeckhand is the beginning. We're building it for the long term.

Product philosophy

We believe good technology should solve real problems without creating new ones.

That's why MyDeckhand is built around the everyday realities of boat ownership — keeping records organised, remembering maintenance, storing important documents and making useful information easier to access.

We're also clear about what MyDeckhand is — and what it isn't. Our AI Deckhand can provide useful information and assistance, but it isn't a replacement for a qualified marine professional, manufacturer guidance or your own judgement as the skipper.

We'd rather build a smaller number of genuinely useful features than fill the app with things nobody needs.

Listen to boat owners. Build useful tools. Keep improving. That's how we're building MyDeckhand.

Build your boat's digital history.

Over time, MyDeckhand becomes a complete record of your vessel.

Maintenance. Repairs. Servicing. Documents. Ownership history.

This can help you understand your boat better today — and provide valuable information when it's time to sell.

  1. Maintenance

    Every oil change, impeller and anode logged as you go.

  2. Repairs

    What was done, when, and what it cost.

  3. Servicing

    Engine services and yard work kept in one timeline.

  4. Documents

    Manuals, invoices, surveys and certificates stored together.

  5. Ownership history

    A clear picture of your vessel's life with you.

Built for boat owners. Ready for the marine industry.

MyDeckhand is designed to help boat owners manage their vessels while creating opportunities for marinas, boatyards, brokers and marine businesses to provide more value to their customers.
