The operating system for crewed yachts

Every yacht has a memory. Most lose it.

KŌDŌ keeps it aboard, one living memory shared by the crew who run the boat, the office that answers for it, the guests it exists for, the brokers who fill it, and one day, the broker who sells her.

In practice

09:40. Docking at Porto Cervo.

Not a feature list, an actual operation. Scroll through it.

T-minus 10 · the brief

Every line, every fender, every name.

The captain launches the docking template. Six prep tasks, five stations, each already assigned. No huddle, no shouting down the deck.

The launch sheet, roles resolved before anyone moves
Live · stations up

Go live, and every phone shows one thing: your station.

Helm to the captain. Bow line to Jake. Engine room to Antonio. Hands-off and silent, everyone knows what's theirs.

OPERATION LIVE · DOCKING

Complete · 23 minutes

The boat writes its own logbook.

One tap closes it. The operation logs itself, duration, crew, conditions, then queues for the captain's signature. The post-tasks appear on their own.

OFFICIAL RECORD · LOGBOOK
Logbook, the docking entry logged itself, awaiting the captain's sign-off
Logged, attributed, and waiting for a signature

Run it again next season with a different crew, and the boat still remembers how it likes to be docked.

The Brain

Ask the vessel.
It answers with receipts.

Every task, fix, guest note and handover feeds one memory. The Brain answers from your vessel's own record, never from generic knowledge, and cites the entries behind every claim.

  • Grounded, not guessed. Answers come only from your boat's manuals, logs, issues and notes.
  • Cited line by line. Tap any source chip and read the original entry.
  • Compounding. The longer KŌDŌ runs, the more the vessel knows.

The bigger idea

Not an app for one job.
An ecosystem for the whole of yachting.

Crew, management, guests, charter brokers and sales brokers each get their own surface, and every side makes the others smarter. The memory compounds in two directions. Follow both:

Thread one · the people

The guest fills it once

Jane sets her preferences in the guest app, they travel with her, to every charter, on any KŌDŌ boat.

Guest · cream

The crew refines it

Aboard, every observation improves it, the stew logs what the sheet never said.

Crew · navy

The broker sees it live

Charlotte watches the profile mature in real time, and places Jane's next charter knowing exactly what she loves.

Broker · cream

The next boat already knows

Eighteen months later, a different yacht, a different crew, and her coffee is still right.

Vessel · memory

  • Allergy: peanuts, flag to every crew
  • Crew note: loves oat milk in coffee
  • Observed: aft-deck breakfast, wake ~07:30
  • Broker flag: 10th anniversary charter
Thread two · the asset
For sales brokers · provenance In development

When she sells, the record sells with her.

Every signed entry becomes provenance. KŌDŌ assembles the verifiable history report every buyer wishes existed, hours matched to logs, incidents with their repair trails, refits documented, drills signed. Like a history report for a car, but for a 45-metre asset.

Proof commands a premium. And only a boat that lived on KŌDŌ can print it.

Every surface feeds the memory · the memory feeds every surface

Point tools do one job for one role. KŌDŌ compounds, every surface feeds the vessel's memory, and the memory feeds everyone.

For the crew · mission control

Run the boat

Tasks, operations, issues, logbook, handovers, fast enough to use mid-evolution, offline-first for life at sea.

For owners & management · oversight

Answer for the fleet

Worst-first triage across every vessel, readiness, approvals and spend without calling each captain.

For guests · the preference sheet

Be remembered

A private surface for owners and charter guests, ask anything, see the day's plan, carry preferences boat to boat.

Place the right boat

Client preferences, live charters and vessel knowledge in one desk, connected to the boats that deliver the trip.

For sales brokers · the provenance In development

Sell the proof, not the promise

The history report buyers wish existed. Hours matched to logs, every incident with its repair trail, refits documented, verifiable, signed, and exclusive to boats that run on KŌDŌ. Provenance prices the premium.

"I ran tenders, stood watches, and kept the watermaker alive. The operation lived in spreadsheets, paper logs, and whatever the last mate remembered. KŌDŌ is the system I wished we'd had onboard."

Jordon Booth · Founder, KŌDŌ · former Mate

The system that ensures a yacht never forgets

Bring KŌDŌ aboard.

Thirty minutes, your operation on screen. If it fits, we set your vessel up with you, and it works underway from day one.
