Skipily on board
From question to solution: AI answer, matching part, yard nearby.
A boat sits in one of the harshest environments there is.
Sun, wind, waves and salt water work against the ship around the clock. None of it takes a break while you are away. That is why there is always something to fix on a boat.
At the same time a yacht is a highly complex piece of technology. Engine, rig, electrics, sails, safety gear, plumbing: many things have to be in good shape for you to be safe at sea. When one of them fails, you usually notice it offshore, not at the dock.
Sun
UV breaks down gelcoat, covers, sailcloth and seals. Slowly, but without pause.
Wind & waves
Constant movement in the rig, fittings and bearings. Whatever chafes will eventually give.
Salt water
Corrosion in wiring, contacts and everything metal, including where nobody looks.
Systems on board
Engine, electronics, rig and safety gear, each with its own intervals and part numbers.
When something breaks, you always ask yourself the same three questions.
Skipily answers all three in one app, with your boat's data behind it. The screenshots are from the app; the markers show what each function does.
How can I fix it myself?
The Boat Assistant knows your equipment and answers specific questions: from “which oil does my Yanmar 3JH5E take?” to “how do I bleed the diesel engine?”. Not a generic chat reply, but an answer with your boat as context.
- 1 History, share, new chat. Every answer stays findable and can be forwarded straight to a service partner.
- 2 It knows your ship. Even the greeting names your registered boat. Equipment, serial numbers and service records are its context.
- 3 Type a question or send a photo. Gallery and camera put a picture of the damage straight into the chat.
Where do I find a reliable service partner nearby?
Yards, workshops, sailmakers, painters and fuel docks: thousands of providers across Europe on one map. From the Mediterranean to the Baltic, filtered by category and brand.
- 1 Search by name, brand or service plus the category filter for yard, engine service, rigging or sailmaker.
- 2 Clusters with provider counts. You see immediately where coverage is dense and zoom right in to the single provider.
- 3 Reviews from real owners, and you can write one yourself. Verified only, no anonymous stars.
- 4 Send an inquiry straight from the map: with your boat's data in the briefing, nothing retyped.
- 5 Phone, mail, web and route in one tap and below that the services in plain words: winter storage, crane, fittings.
Where do I get the right spare part?
From any equipment entry straight to the matching spare part. Skipily sorts the hits into three clear categories instead of leaving you to hunt for the right impeller or water filter for hours.
- 1 The search starts from your equipment. Device, manufacturer and model are already at the top. You type no part number.
- 2 Matching equipment included. Whatever belongs to the same device is counted and expandable.
- 3 Category, price and availability in one line. No “that'll do”, no phone call to double-check.
“I have been a passionate sailor for several decades. I built two boats, restored one, and now sail a Beneteau First 40CR.”
“What has caused me trouble and frustration for many years is poor service, wrong spare parts, and no quick help on board when I need it. Skipily now offers all of that. In this app we have brought together everything we as boat owners need to keep our ships safely sea-ready.”
And between the problems: everything on record.
Most problems do not start with a failure, they start with a missed interval. That is why Skipily keeps both together: the boat with all its equipment, and maintenance with status and reminders.
Maintenance with status colours
Service intervals per item of equipment, with a push reminder well before the next inspection.
- 1Add a new task with its own interval in years or engine hours.
- 2Overdue: outlined in red with the due date. That one comes first.
- 3Upcoming: due soon but not critical. Green means all clear.
Boat & equipment
All boat data, photos, dimensions and serial numbers in one place, offline too.
- 1Your ship with photo, type and hull dimensions: length, beam, draft.
- 2The equipment list is the starting point for parts, inquiries and AI answers.
A service inquiry in 10 seconds
Tap “inquiry” on an equipment entry and Skipily builds the full briefing: brand, model, serial number, measurement sheet, installation and service data, photos. All you choose is the service partner. The briefing is generated in six languages, photos and the sail measurement sheet are attached, and you see everything before it goes out.
Four new features for boat owners.
News stream
Owners swap tips and tricks with each other, and dealers present their solutions. With Basic, posts and video subtitles are translated automatically.

Hand over your boat with a key
When you sell, you create a key for the buyer. They receive a complete copy of the boat with equipment, photos and history.

- 2Equipment you take with you is marked individually beforehand.
