Boats
Boats is where you tell Naucodex about the yachts you sail. Whether you own one boat, manage a small fleet, or skipper for a friend, every voyage, log entry, expense and service is filed against the right hull.
What it does
- Holds the basics of each boat: name, type, length, sail number, year, hull material, engine.
- Stores documents — registration, insurance, safety equipment certificate — alongside the boat.
- Aggregates everything that belongs to a boat in one place: voyages, expenses, maintenance, miles sailed.
- Lets you mark a boat as inactive (sold, laid up) without deleting its history.
- Powers the per-boat PDF reports you can hand to a new owner, a buyer, or the charter company.
How to use it
- Open Boats from the sidebar.
- Tap New boat.
- Enter the name and the basics — length, year, engine, sail number.
- Optionally upload photos and documents (registration, insurance).
- Save. The boat now appears in every Voyage, Logbook, Expense and Maintenance picker.
- When the boat changes hands, open it and tap Mark as inactive — the history stays, but new entries can no longer be filed against it.
Frequently asked
Do I need to set up a boat before I can start logging?
Yes — every voyage and log entry needs a boat. The very first boat takes about a minute to set up. After that, you rarely touch the Boats screen.
Can I share a boat with someone else?
Crew invites are coming. For now, each boat lives on the captain's account; you can invite crew to specific voyages (see the Crew article).
