Useful apps for yacht crew and captains at work

Technology advances to provide help in all personal and professional fields. Even in professions as specialized as the Captain of a Superyacht, we find specific technological developments that provide security, comfort, and control in technical and logistic aspects.

Boating Apps are valuable crew members

There are many Apps designed for captains and crews. These are some of the best valued by specialists in the sector:

Superyachts are increasingly sophisticated. Its equipment includes technologies that very recently were science fiction. And that implies that many tasks that previously were manually are now fully automated.

On the other hand, technology offers an essential help in the tasks related to the attention of the guests:

Very useful when traveling as it translates voice calls, text messages, documents, and conference calls in several languages in real-time.
