AI Mechanic®

A marine mechanic on call, day or night — built on patent-pending YACHTWAVE® technology and powered by Google Gemini AI, with answers grounded in your vessel's own records, not generic boat advice.

Boats Break on Saturday Afternoon

Exactly When the Boats Get Used — and Exactly When No Help Is Available

Failures don't happen during business hours. They happen on weekends and holidays, in the middle of the afternoon, with the owner aboard — when the yard is closed, the mobile tech isn't picking up, and the next appointment is a week out. It is the call yacht managers dread, because there is no good answer to give. The AI Mechanic is the help that answers: before it says a word, it reads the actual record of the equipment in front of you — the model, the serial number, the service history your crew has been building. That's the difference between boat advice and your boat's advice: fix the simple things on the spot, triage the serious ones, and make an informed call to the yard on Monday morning instead of a guess.

24/7 first-line support that answers on Saturday afternoons and holiday weekends — no waiting for Monday, no callback queue

Thousands of marine engine and equipment manuals behind Advanced Support — answers straight from the manufacturer's pages

20 – 40% annual marine crew turnover — experience walks off the dock; the AI Mechanic keeps it aboard

Your First Line of Support

Pick the engine or equipment, describe the problem, and get expert troubleshooting guidance in seconds — from an AI that already knows exactly what it's looking at.

First-Level Support & Diagnostics

Your first line of support, built on patent-pending YACHTWAVE technology and powered by Google Gemini AI: describe any problem on board and get troubleshooting guidance grounded in your vessel's own records and service history — the engines, equipment, and data already in the app — far beyond generic boat advice.

Grounded in Your Vessel's Records

Before the AI answers, it reads the item's real record — make, model, serial number, and the maintenance history your crew has been building. It knows the impeller was changed in May and the starboard engine runs hotter than the port. Generic chatbots guess; the AI Mechanic knows what it's working on.

Help for Whoever's Standing in Front of the Problem

Across a managed fleet, the person facing the failure is rarely the person who's seen it before — a new crew member, a dockhand, sometimes the owner themselves. The AI Mechanic narrows that gap: structured, expert first-line diagnostics from whoever is actually there.

Ask Anything About Your Boat

The AI Mechanic isn't only for breakdowns — it's the fastest way to get at everything your YACHTWAVE yacht management software knows about your vessel.

Instant Access to Everything About Your Vessel

Ask in plain language and get the answer in seconds — the generator's serial number, the watermaker's manual, when the impeller was last changed. Everything YACHTWAVE knows about your boat, retrieved by conversation instead of digging through menus.

Your Documents, Surfaced

The AI can point you to the vessel's own stored manuals and documents — the answer and the source, together. Follow-up questions welcome; every answer keeps the conversation going with suggested next steps.

Advanced Support, Straight From the Manuals

For Pro and Ultimate fleets, the AI Mechanic goes deeper than training data — it reads the manufacturer's own documentation for your exact equipment before it answers.

Advanced Support & Diagnostics Pro & Ultimate

Trained on YACHTWAVE's library of thousands of marine engine and equipment manuals: ask a question and the AI reads the manuals for your exact equipment first, answering straight from the manufacturer's pages — falling back to its base training only when the manuals don't cover it.

Model-Specific, Not Boat-Generic

Torque specs, service intervals, fault codes, part numbers — the details that generic AI gets dangerously wrong are exactly what the manual library gets right. The answer for a D13 is the D13's answer, not a diesel engine's answer.

Better Records, Smarter Answers

The AI Mechanic reads your maintenance logs as part of its context — so the operation that documents its work gets diagnostics informed by what's actually been done to the equipment.
