The all-in-one yacht management platform you need to know about

Yacht managers, captains, pursers and heads of department will only know too well the countless scattered emails and Excel sheets that come with the chaotic process of managing a superyacht. This is why DeepBlue launched its all-in-one yacht management software designed to simplify the entire yacht management operation.

Initially launched in 2013, DeepBlue has evolved into a central hub that can integrate all yacht operations tasks into one fully integrated centralised platform available online via desktop or mobile. Thanks to the Offline Sync feature, it stays up-and-running and responsive even if the mobile network or Starlink becomes unavailable. This eases the workload of crew members and optimises operations for vessels typically ranging from 25-150 metres. Trusted by hundreds of luxury yachts, international management agencies and family offices, DeepBlue’s mission is continuously shaped by the evolving needs of the superyacht industry and user feedback.

"When setting out to create DeepBlue, we gathered yachting professionals in sessions (managers, DPAs, captains, engineers, HoDs, owner's reps) to learn about the industry problems and complexities before defining our mission. It all turned into a guiding policy that remains to be the dominant factor in our development decisions," explains Milos Sluga, co-founder and lead developer at DeepBlue. "We discovered that miscommunication among the crew and management, and the lack of timely, relevant information were the primary reasons for massive losses of time and resources. We decided to address all issues with a holistic approach, without shortcuts and compromises. In other words, if processes are connected in a real-life scenario, they are linked in the software. And that makes it so intuitive."

BOAT dives into DeepBlue’s diverse range of modules to show you how the platform refines processes on board.

Comprehensive planned maintenance system

Upgraded in 2022, the Planned Maintenance System module is a standout feature of DeepBlue's platform. This module schedules and monitors maintenance and refit tasks, conducts safety drills and checklists, maintains equipment documentation and manages spare parts inventory. It also includes logbook functionality, auto-logging (via AMCS), purchase order management and detailed maintenance reporting. With real-time insights into the vessel's condition and maintenance program, it helps prevent over-purchasing and simplifies the organisation of shipyard deliverables. It guarantees owners retain a higher value of their precious assets. Designed for ease of use, chief engineers and crew members can manage maintenance tasks efficiently with minimum training.

Efficient accounting management

DeepBlue's accounting module streamlines all monetary processes, specifically tailored for yachts to ensure yacht managers, captains and heads of department stay in sync regarding expenditures and budgets. With features like advanced reporting, expense and income tracking, purchase order and invoice validation system, multi-currency accounting and budgeting, managing finances becomes straightforward and efficient. Additionally, Deep Blue has partnered with Centtrip giving the possibility to automatically reconcile cards and wire transfer operations directly in the DeepBlue finance module, which enables crew members to sync and process everyday expenditures directly with the accounting module, further simplifying financial management on board.

Streamlined HR management

Everyone knows the mantra “happy crew, happy boat” and DeepBlue’s HR management module embodies this principle perfectly. Whether you're managing a crew of three or a team of 100, this module provides comprehensive solutions for work schedules, leave management, payroll and timesheets. Ensuring compliance with maritime laws and optimising daily operations significantly enhances crew satisfaction.

Robust safety management

With strict ISM (International Safety Management) standards, DeepBlue’s safety module ensures your yacht meets them with ease, reducing the workload and anxiety associated with safety audits. It provides an overview of the yacht’s safety compliance status, easy access to procedures, incident recording, ISM reporting, emergency contact database, etc. The module is designed to facilitate communication between the Designated Person Ashore and the officers onboard that raise questions and obtain answers with in-built tracking records.

Effective inventory management

Allowing you to manage all types of items on board, this crucial module features a detailed visual catalogue, optimised to track various kinds of items, such as wine stock, artworks, as well as any simple items. With multi-printer support, any tangibles can be neatly QR-coded, tracked and scanned via smartphones. This module refines procurement with advanced features such as auto-linking of inventory with purchase orders originating from the finance module, custom inventory reports and more. It greatly streamlines stock keeping and allows you to effortlessly monitor the value of your inventory, which can prove essential in the event of any insurance claims. To ensure the system adapts to your specific scenario or layout rather than vice-versa, inventory locations are fully customizable.

Enhanced charter operations

When it comes to charter operations, DeepBlue's dedicated module offers robust APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) management, ensuring every transaction is transparent, tracked and swiftly recorded. Coordinating contracts, accounting, provisioning and expense approvals, this module provides a centralised platform for all charter-related operations. Streamlining the entire charter process not only saves valuable crew time but also elevates the overall experience for charter guests.

Deep Blue Software: Holy-Grail of Yacht Management

The Entire Yacht Management. Simplified. In One Application

Yacht purchase is one of the biggest, most personal and beautiful investments in life. However, being able to enjoy the full benefits of yacht ownership requires another two crucial steps. Finding the right crew and providing them with a suitable software platform that allows them to organize their workflow while providing you, the owner, with crucial up-to-date information. You need to stay in control and make excellent decisions without excessive stress. If you already own a yacht, you know exactly what we are talking about.

In 2013 DeepBlue entered the market with its solution that was built on in-depth understanding of the yachting industry’s practices and the many shortcomings of the software platforms that existed. Since the early beginnings more than a decade ago, DeepBlue continues to expand on this premise, by now evolving into a full-fledged yacht management platform.

One of the DeepBlue founders notes during our interview: ‘Before we wrote a line of code, we asked ourselves a fundamental question. What is the biggest obstacle in making yacht management operations more efficient today? It turned out that crew-management miscommunication and lack of relevant information when you need it most was the no.1 reason crew was wasting time, while owners were wasting their money.

We set out to solve just that with a holistic approach.’ That is how Deep Blue built a comprehensive product consisting of multiple interconnected modules, that can handle the yacht operations in their entirety, nowadays serving hundreds of yachts ranging from 15 to 150m in size. Everything from finances, maintenance (PMS), inventory, safety (ISM), advanced reporting and a lot more is solved under one umbrella. The modular approach stems from the fact that private yachts differ widely in their requirements, and in specific cases, some may still choose to use their existing solutions to complement DeepBlue modules.

Guided by the maxim ‘If you have a crew, DeepBlue is for you,’ the platform is best suited for yachts 25 m and above. The dynamic nature of its pricing structure allows for the smaller yachts to benefit from significant savings in comparison to the large vessels.

The team at DeepBlue understands that managing a yacht cannot be solved by simply installing a fancy application. For this reason DeepBlue provides all initial crew introduction and training at no extra cost. Historical data and database imports are available and facilitated by DeepBlue’s experts.

Once properly set up, the crew will finally have access to a centralized database of all documentation, timesheets, accounting data and more, with user-level access permissions. No need for multiple versions of external spreadsheets and backups. No scattered data, no headaches. As an owner you would gain access to advanced reports that allow for smart budgeting decisions on-the-fly. For a full-time peace of mind, all data is protected by the highest ISMS standards and backed-up daily. Learn more at DeepBlue.app.

DEEP Blue Soft: Raising Yacht Management Standards

Simple & Efficient Yacht Management

DEEP Blue Soft – Time-Saving PMS Software a Must for Newbuilds

Voly Group announces acquisition of Pinpoint Works

Look at your phone or tablet. How many apps have you got? How many of them are pointless, complicated, or unused? Even trying to message somebody can leave you bewildered with choices: WhatsApp, Messenger, Email, iMessage, or even a plain old SMS.

So, when coordinating the applications and inventory of a yacht, or even a fleet, you can imagine those problems multiply a hundredfold—so many spreadsheets, apps, and platforms, along with inadequate software.

If you miss one message or command, it could create untold havoc and expense.

With yacht technology becoming ever-more complex, the bombardment of alerts will only increase.

There is an answer

And it’s like sailing from choppy churning seas into mirror-like calm: DEEP Blue Soft. Over two hundred yachts use DEEP Blue, including multiple international management companies and family offices.

DEEP Blue Soft is user-friendly Yacht Management Software: everything together on one intuitive platform and fully integrated with ten modules to cover every aspect of craft, crew and shore operations.

The ultimate time saver

More than anything, DEEP Blue saves time, a valuable resource on a busy vessel.

It’s easy to see how the platform, released in 2013, soon gained a reputation for being an industry-leading software for yacht management.

The learning curve is rapid, and you don’t need a PhD in computer sciences to harness this leviathan of yacht management systems. Bringing everyone together and sharing procedures on one system makes for plain sailing – value, transparency, and security are all increased.

An end to inventory headaches

With spreadsheets so easy to alter and corrupt, it’s no wonder that keeping track of inventory is so time-consuming for interior departments. They are notoriously difficult to follow changes and most people have their own methodology for setting up a spreadsheet which makes it hard for others to use

They are ploughing through Excel or generating paper reports, looking for uniforms, electronics, wine, art, furniture, and many other items. Indeed, the team at DEEP Blue are amazed that more owners don’t want to know the value of their inventories: perhaps it’s because they have been so challenging to track in the past.

Moreover, when an owner has inventory that gets moved between different yachts and villas, you may find yourself juggling inventory on three or more platforms. It’s reassuring that you can customise locations, including shoreside storage, villas and other crafts in the fleet.

Visual inventory makes life a breeze

The inventory catalogue on DEEP Blue is highly visual.

Filters and a powerful search engine allow you to locate items quickly. Keep a record of stock levels, articles issued to the crew, damages and history. And those snappy QR codes make tracking objects between various crafts and villas from your mobile device faster than ever.

Dynamic, customisable reports are only a few clicks away. For example, an owner wants to know about their wine cellar, or an insurer wants a detailed valuation report. Add filters and a few details, and have precise stock levels and locations with the value accurately summed up.

Users can give and receive approvals with a time-stamped history of all alterations.

Keeping track becomes a breeze rather than a gale-force nightmare.

The customisable structures allow the users to build yacht-specific organisational architecture from which they will populate a rich database of inventory that will prove invaluable to the owner or during a resale process.

Take action

It’s not just an increase or decrease in stock amounts.  It is so much more. Effectively track items such as uniforms, radios and mobile phones using the Issue to Crew action.  Do post-season stock checks by category or location.  Filter on low-level stock, add to the Wishlist and add a purchase priority so there are no questions about what supply is running low when doing a purchase order.

Get approval to make that order

The Purchase Order module is the ultimate team player, connecting Inventory and Finance with one click.

Reduce unnecessary spending by preventing over-purchasing. The latest addition to the DEEP Blue programme allows users to create purchase orders with an optional multi-level approval system.  Send a quote directly to Finance when the items have been ordered.

Follow your deliveries closely with the ability to receive full or partial orders.

Like the other modules, the reports will provide a clear picture of the status of your purchase orders. They detail pending deliveries and open or completed orders. This will allow the financial team to follow the orders and be sure they don’t overpay for goods not received or request credit notes when required.

Essential as an anchor

Robust software needs an ingenious team behind it. At DEEP Blue, they listen to their clients and continuously take feedback from the crew and the yachting experts to aid in the ongoing evolution. The team is deeply committed to offering a personalised experience to support their client’s needs in a timely and friendly manner with advice, technical help and quick problem-solving.

DEEP Blue Soft is essential for existing and new build yachts as an anchor. Don’t set sail without it.

Deep Blue Software, a revolutionary provider of the most complete and user-friendly Yacht Management Software, announces its latest upgrade, Deep Blue V2.2.

Deep Blue Software was originally designed by yachting experts for yachting professionals, to facilitate communication between the yacht, the management company and the ship-owner, relieving captains from the important administrative and technical workload.

Launched in 2013, Deep Blue has already been chosen by ­­­­73 motor and sailing yachts from 30m up to 70m cruising in the Mediterranean, Asia and the USA. The software has also been adopted by several yacht management companies.

Deep Blue Software continues evolving, with regular updates. With the recent release of Deep Blue V2.2, three new modules are now available: Maritime Labor Convention (MLC), Maintenance and Log book.

MLC Module:  Each crew member has access to the Yacht Deep Blue server with an individual login and password giving access to its personal account and to the working schedules defined by the captain, where crew members can declare their actual working hours, rest hours or make leave inquiries. Summaries of all leaves and duty watch are available in a calendar, presented in a comprehensive manner. The captain or manager can control working hours and hours for rest, as it is crucial for the yachts, which must comply with MLC. Yachts not subject to MLC can nevertheless adapt and customize this module to follow on board and Flag rules.

Great facilitation of making payrolls is introduced. Crediting of crew wages is calculated automatically on the basis of minimum vacation leaves. The payroll is generated in 1 click.

In addition, Deep Blue keeps in order all the documentation related to MLC and flag rules, checklists, employment contracts, certificates, accessible to crew members and easily editable in case of port state control.

Maintenance Module:  Chief engineers can build custom yacht systems and structure them, classifying by areas, items, sub items with the possibility to assign to each of them counters and maintenance programs according to any indicator selected by user. All maintenance jobs will be recorded in this module, making very easy the search for past Maintenance, due maintenance and future maintenance.

Logbook Module: Designed to allow Chief engineers to build custom and follow all counters, which can be assigned to Items and sub Items, to follow fuel tanks positions or running parameters. Maintenance jobs, linked to Logbook counters, are automatically presented in the Maintenance module in an easy to read agenda, which can be customized.

In total Deep Blue Yacht Management Software offers 24 modules able to meet the all needs of potential users at 360 degrees around the Yacht: Crew, Crew Lists, Guests, Guest Lists, Yacht Account, Financial Reporting, 2nd Account, 2nd Financial Reporting, Yacht – Yacht documentation, Tech Docs – Yacht technical documentation, Inventory – Yacht inventory database, Auxiliary – Auxiliary items documentation, Maintenance, Works & Reports – Maintenance reports, Logbook, Charter Management, Charter Accounting, Charter APA, Charter Reporting (Charter financial reports), Charter Calendar, MLC Documentation – Maritime Labour Convention documents, Payroll (Crew payroll), Toolkit (Calendar, contacts, help, backup, extranet).

Deep Blue is available in several versions: Deep Blue Pro for yachts and Deep Blue Fleet for yacht management companies, and offers several server solutions including the possibility to host a local server on board which synchronizes – Deep Blue Sync – with a master server ashore. This local server can be reach through the local network without need to be under internet coverage.

Deep Blue also collaborates with shipyards for new-built constructions, where the software is integrated at early stage, and interfaced with the shipyard project manager to integrate all technical documents during construction as well as the follow up of Spare parts list and stocks on board.
