Maintenance Logs
Your vessel's permanent service history — every job, every part, every engine hour, recorded for the life of the boat.
If It Isn't Logged, It Didn't Happen
The Service History Is Part of the Asset
Ask any broker: the first thing a serious buyer wants to see is the maintenance history. A boat without records is genuinely hard to sell — buyers assume the worst, surveys drag on, and offers come in low, if they come at all. A boat with a complete, documented history is the opposite: it commands a premium, sells faster, and holds its value — a well-documented engine with higher hours can be worth more than a low-hour engine nobody can vouch for. The same record wins warranty claims, where the burden of proof sits with the owner, and it's what survives when a departing engineer takes their memory down the dock. YACHTWAVE® yacht management software keeps that record the way it should be kept: on the vessel, organized by engine and equipment, written automatically as the work gets done.
Every Engine's Life Story, in One Place
Not a shoebox of receipts and not a spreadsheet — a structured service record, organized by engine and equipment, that any yacht manager, captain, or crew member can read and no one can lose.
Permanent Service History
Every service event logged against the specific engine or equipment — what was done, when, and at what engine hours. The record stays with the boat through every crew change, every season, and every owner.
Organized by Type & Equipment
Engine, generator, hull, plumbing, HVAC, safety gear — each entry is typed and tied to the exact piece of equipment it belongs to. Open any item and read its entire life story on one screen.
A Record That Writes Itself
Record keeping fails when it depends on someone remembering to do it after the real work is done. In YACHTWAVE, the workflow writes the history for you.
Auto-Created from Completed Tasks
Completing a task linked to an engine or equipment writes the maintenance log entry for you — the job, the date, the hours, the crew member. Zero extra effort, zero forgotten entries.
The Task's Evidence Comes Along
Every photo, document, and expense captured on the task while the work was done transfers to the maintenance log automatically — the before-and-after shots and the yard invoice land in the permanent record without anyone re-attaching a thing.
Powers the AI Mechanic®
Your maintenance logs are part of what the AI Mechanic reads — troubleshooting guidance grounded in what's actually been done to your equipment, not generic advice. The better the record, the smarter the answers.
Proof on Demand
A service history is only as good as your ability to produce it — for the surveyor at haul-out, the warranty adjuster on the phone, or the owner asking a yacht manager what was done last month.
Photos, Documents & Expenses on Every Entry
Attach invoices, receipts, and photos to any log entry — the paper trail that warranty claims demand and surveyors want to see, protecting resale value with every job documented.
Search & Filters
Find any service event by date range, type, engine, or equipment — the answer to “when was this last done?” in seconds, not in an afternoon of digging through binders.
Maintenance Logs are included in every YACHTWAVE® edition — including the free Personal Edition — with automatic log creation from completed tasks.
