Boat Story

The Challenge

A boat has many systems — engine, drive, fuel, electrical, hull, rigging, safety, trailer, and seasonal jobs — and they wear on engine hours and the calendar, not on convenient dates. Receipts pile up in a shoebox, services quietly fall overdue, and it is hard to know what it actually costs to keep the boat running.

Our Approach

Boat Story tracks every system with a built-in schedule, logs each job with cost, vendor, photos, and notes, and fires engine-hour and seasonal reminders so service stays ahead of failure. It is offline-first with no account, no login, no tracking, no ads, and no server — your records live on your device and sync only through your own iCloud.

Key Features

• Every system aboard, tracked — Engine, drive and steering, fuel, electrical, hull, rigging, safety, onboard systems, trailer, and seasonal jobs — each with a built-in schedule, so nothing quietly falls overdue.
• A complete service history — Log every job — DIY or pro — with the cost, vendor, photos, and notes. The shoebox of receipts becomes one clear record you actually trust.
• Engine-hour and seasonal reminders — Service intervals track engine hours the way boats actually wear, and seasonal jobs like winterizing fire ahead of time — not the week after the impeller fails.
• See where the money goes — Cost insights break your spending down by system and by shop, with a simple forecast of the year ahead. Know what it actually costs to keep.
• Reports you can hand over — Generate a clean PDF service report for a buyer, an insurer, or a shop — proof of everything that has been done.
• Truly private — No account, no login, no tracking, no ads, no server. Boat Story is offline-first; your records live on your device and sync only through your own iCloud.

Results

Boat Story turns a shoebox of receipts into one trusted maintenance record that keeps service ahead of failure and resale honest.
