KODOLooking for a Seahub alternative?
Credit first: Seahub built a genuinely usable planned-maintenance system at a time when most yacht PMS felt like enterprise punishment, and engineering teams like it. If you're here, the itch is usually that maintenance is the only part of your operation with a system. I build KODO, so read me as a competitor being as fair as he can.
A maintenance system, or the whole operation
Seahub's centre of gravity is the engine room: planned maintenance, spares, equipment history. KODO covers that ground too, but its frame is the whole boat: the deckhand's morning checklist, the chief stew's guest allergies, the watch rotation that generates the legal rest-hours record, the drill register, the logbook, the owner's calm read-only view, and the vessel memory that survives crew changes.
If maintenance tracking is the whole of what you want, a dedicated PMS is a fine answer. The boats that come to us are usually solving a bigger sentence: "every crew change, this boat forgets things that a system should have remembered", and maintenance history is only one of the things it forgets.
Stay put if
- Engineering-led maintenance tracking is the entire requirement and the rest of your operation genuinely works as is.
- Your engineers are settled in it, the history is clean, and nobody aboard is asking for more than a PMS.
- You prefer a specialist tool per department over one system for the whole crew.
Talk to us if
- You want maintenance AND the rest: tasks, drills and SMS evidence, rest hours, guests and charters, logbook, owner view.
- Crew turnover keeps erasing knowledge that lives outside the PMS: the quirk, the fix, the supplier, the preference.
- You want unlimited crew accounts, one published price, and a founder who answers instead of a ticket queue.
We keep this table fair. Seahub's product evolves like anyone's, so verify their side directly with them; we'll correct anything they tell us we've got wrong.
What people ask us
Is KODO a replacement for Seahub?
For the maintenance module, yes, the ground overlaps: planned maintenance, history, spares accountability. The difference is everything around it: KODO is the operating system for the whole crew, and maintenance is one connected part rather than the product. If you only want a PMS, Seahub is a reasonable choice; if you want the boat to stop forgetting things generally, that is what KODO is for.
Can we migrate our Seahub history to KODO?
Yes. Send exports in whatever form you can get: spreadsheets, CSVs, PDFs. Migration and setup are included in the subscription and most of that work is done for you.
What does KODO cost compared to Seahub?
KODO is €1,000 per vessel per month with every module and unlimited crew accounts included, published publicly. Seahub quotes by plan; ask them for a like-for-like quote and compare what is included.
The other systems people weigh up
Most boats shortlist two or three before they choose. These are the same comparison, written the same way.
