The operating system for yacht crews

Every yacht hasa memory. Most lose it.

KODO is the app the crew use to run the yacht. As the work gets done, the yacht's history builds itself. It stays aboard when they don't.

The yacht's day in KODO: today's work, what needs attention and the state of each department

The crew change. The yacht forgets.

01

The fault that took three days last summer, and the thing that finally fixed it.

02

The guest who can't go near peanuts.

03

The certificate nobody looked at until it had already expired.

None of it sits in one place. It lives in a departing engineer's head, a folder nobody opens, a spreadsheet on a laptop that left with the last mate, and four hundred WhatsApp messages.

The files stay. The reasons leave.

So the yacht learns the same lesson twice, and pays for it twice.

How it works

The work becomes the memory.

KODO is where the crew do the job of running the yacht. Tasks, faults, maintenance, dockings, safety, certificates, guests and spending, in one place instead of six. As each job closes, what happened stays joined to who did it, what it cost and what was decided. The history is the by-product of the work, not another job on top of it.

01

Run it today

The crew open KODO and see what needs doing today, who it belongs to and what is already overdue. They tick it off on a phone as they go, in the engine room or on the aft deck, not back at a desk hours later.

02

It records itself

Closing the job is what creates the record. Who did it, what it cost, which part went in and why the call was made all stay joined to each other. Nobody writes it up afterwards, because there is nothing left to write up.

03

Use it tomorrow

Six months or three crews later, the next person searches the history or simply asks the yacht a question in plain English. The answer comes back with the original entries attached, so they can check it rather than trust it.

Who it's for

One yacht. One shared picture.

Crew

See today's work, and everything the last four people to do this job learned while they were doing it.

Captains

See the whole operation at once, and the reasoning behind every open item, without ringing three departments.

Management

Support the yacht from shore using exactly what the crew are looking at, instead of chasing people for updates.

Owners

See how she is being cared for, where the money went, and the record being built that protects her value.

Guests

Remembered from one trip to the next. Their coffee, their allergy, their side of the bed, known before arrival.

Charter brokers

Work from the same information as the yacht delivering the trip, so nobody is hearing about it on the day.

Why this and not the folder you have

Most software files things. KODO joins them up.

Separate systems can tell you a task was closed, an invoice was paid, a certificate was uploaded. They rarely tell you how any of it relates.

Filed separately
  • A task was closed
  • An invoice was paid
  • A part was ordered
  • A certificate was uploaded
  • A handover was written
Joined up
  • The fault, joined to the task it created
  • The repair, joined to the part, the cost and the person
  • The approval, joined to who asked and who signed
  • The guest's preference, joined to their next trip
  • The handover, carrying the reasoning behind every open item

Other tools record individual jobs. KODO builds the continuing story of the yacht.

Every day adds to the same record, every handover starts with more than the last one, and every season makes it worth more.

Run her on KODO for a few years and the owner has something most yachts cannot produce: a connected, signed history of how she was operated, maintained and cared for. When she's sold, that is evidence a buyer's surveyor can inspect, rather than a promise he has to take on trust.

The film

Three minutes
aboard.

Crew running the day, management watching from shore, guests remembered, and the record building underneath all of it. The whole idea, without a sales call.

About 3 minutes
Built on deck

Kept under your control.

"I spent five years working aboard yachts, and I watched the same knowledge disappear every rotation, into spreadsheets, paper logs and whoever happened to be leaving. KODO is the system I wanted the yacht to have when I was the one trying to keep her running."

Jordon Booth · Founder, KODO · former mate

It keeps working offshore. Work that can't wait keeps going when the signal drops, and syncs when it comes back.
Your yacht is her own world. Each yacht's information is kept separate, and access follows the person's role.
Never used to train a model. Your information is never used to train an AI model.
Yours to take. The complete record exports at any time, at no charge.

Questions

Straight answers.

What exactly is KODO?
One place to run the yacht, which keeps the knowledge created by that work with the yacht.
What does it cost?
€1,000 per vessel per month, including every available module and unlimited crew accounts.
Does it replace our current systems?
It can replace several disconnected tools, or work alongside the ones you already trust. You don't have to pull anything out to start.
Does it work without signal?
Work that can't wait continues on the device and syncs when the connection returns, and everything from the last sync stays readable. Full offline access to every screen is still being built, and we would rather tell you where that line is than have you find it in a bay with no coverage.
Who can see the yacht's information?
Access follows the person's role. Crew, captains, management, owners and guests each see only the part of the record meant for them.
How long does it take to get going?
We set the yacht up with you and bring across the history, certificates and templates you already have, wherever they live now. Most of that work is ours.
