A maintenance checklist that belongs to your boat

Start from a template, adapt it to your equipment, tick tasks off as you do them, and keep your manuals in one place. Free to start, and free to share what you build.

What you can do today

Start from a template

Pick a ready-made checklist for a sailing yacht, or build your own from scratch. Your boat gets its own copy, so changes never affect anyone else.

Adapt it to your equipment

Add systems like a watermaker or generator, change intervals, mark safety-critical tasks and archive what you do not have. Completion history is kept.

Tick off, with undo

Mark a task done in one tap. Due and overdue dates are worked out from the schedule and your last completion.

Keep manuals and records

Upload manuals and certificates to a vault organised like your boat. Your files stay with your account.

English, Français, Italiano

The whole app is available in three languages, and your language choice is remembered.

Adapt a checklist, export it as a .ypl file, and hand it to another owner. They import it as their own boat or template and keep it up to date themselves.

Adapt a checklist to your boat.
Save it as a template and export the .ypl file.
Share the file, for example in a forum post or a message.
The other owner imports it into their own account.

What a template contains

Areas, systems, components and tasks, with their intervals and priorities.
A name, make, model, years and a description.
Not included: manual files and uploaded documents.
An imported template is a copy. It does not update when the original author changes theirs.

Before you share

Export a template, not your whole boat. A boat export also carries vessel details such as hull number, MMSI, call sign, home port and document titles. Review any file before you share it, and add where your checklist came from so others can judge it. Community checklists are not manufacturer-approved and are not affiliated with any manufacturer.

Try an example

The “Generic cruising sailboat” template is included for everyone: a neutral starting point to adapt, export and share.

AI is optional

Checklists and manuals work without AI. If you want AI to file uploaded manuals and translate your own wording, you add your own provider key in settings. Switch AI off and YachtPlan makes no model calls at all.

Why is this free?

I have lived aboard a 42-foot sailboat for five years. A cruising boat has many systems, and keeping up with their maintenance is how you avoid expensive repairs. So I built YachtPlan for myself, and I have used it on my own boat for a year.

Now I want to give something back to this community. I can only afford to cover the costs of up to 90 users. Beyond that I promise to keep it free for those first 90 users, but I will have to work out a way to pay for it.

Storage is limited to 200 MB per account, so that everyone can upload their manuals. If many people use YachtPlan and all their manuals end up stored in one place, I will have to find a way to cover that cost.
