BoatRealm and Test the Waters

Deals shouldn't die at survey.

Create service records. List your boat with its history. Give buyers more context earlier. BoatRealm is where you build maintenance history. Test the Waters is where buyers see it. Together, they solve the real problem: deals dying at survey.

  • Service records in one timeline
  • Receipts, invoices, and notes in the record
  • Listings that can include that documentation

BoatRealm lets you CREATE service records. Test the Waters lets you LIST your boat WITH those records. Buyers can review that documentation earlier.

Keep client boats documented, then present that maintenance history with the listing instead of assembling it at the last minute.

Create and manage service records for the boats you represent, including invoices, receipts, and notes.

Multiple boats and listings

Features

Everything You Need is Built In

In-App Buyer Messaging

Prospective buyers can communicate with sellers and brokers through the platform while they review the listing and the records shared with it.

Why BoatRealm is Different

The service history is built in BoatRealm, then made available with the Test the Waters listing. Buyers can review the maintenance documentation the seller or broker chooses to share, and talk with them before deciding whether to move forward.

Private records stay private until they are shared. A listing shows the documentation made available with that boat.

Social Proof

Trusted by growing captains and owners

I usually avoid management platforms because I run a smaller operation, and most of them take too much time to keep up with. With BoatRealm, I can just scan an invoice or receipt, review what it extracts, and save the entry. It saves me time and keeps everything organized without making it complicated.

Captain Jay

I use BoatRealm to manage records for my charter fleet. I currently have three vessels on the platform, and it has made it much easier to keep everything organized. When an owner asks for updates or records, I can send them a full monthly PDF report with the invoices attached. It looks professional and saves me from having to dig through folders or emails.

Fabian, Yacht Manager

I recently bought my first boat, and I did a lot of research before making the purchase. People always say the happiest days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it, but I actually want to know what I’m putting into mine along the way. Whether it’s a battery replacement or the first 100-hour service, BoatRealm helps me stay on top of everything and see what I’ve spent.

Dario, Boat Owner

Keeping organized boat records is not as common as it should be. Before BoatRealm, buyers would ask me for service records, and maybe two out of ten owners actually had them organized. BoatRealm helps me keep records ready for my listings, which makes the selling process smoother. I’ve also seen sellers have stronger negotiations when they can show a clean, organized service history.
