A border official wants passports and dates of birth. The new crew member needs to know where the seacocks are. And you, three days into a passage, need to know whose watch it is without doing arithmetic at 0300.
WatchKeeper keeps crew records the way a delivery skipper would: passport numbers and expiries, structured addresses, phone, WhatsApp, and email, with documents that preview in place and print to a clean PDF when officialdom asks. Embark and disembark movements are recorded, so souls-on-board is always current, and one tap lets any crew member mark themselves aboard.
Watch schedules handle real rotations, including a solo setting for the singlehander. And the crew safety briefing means the person who joined in the last port knows the boat before you cast off.
- Crew records: passports, expiries, contacts, printable to PDF
- Souls on board: live count from embark and disembark movements
- Watch schedules: rotations, groups, and a solo mode
- Roles: skipper, mate, crew, guest, each with the right access
- Safety briefing: the seacocks-and-liferaft talk, structured
- Crew self check-in: one tap to mark yourself aboard
The people ashore are crew too. Emergency contacts and shore crew get the AI brief twice a day, so the family at home is never out of the loop.
Crew ashore, boat at anchor. Both accounted for.
WatchKeeper is a passage log and shore-crew briefing tool for sailors who take the ocean seriously. One tool for the logbook, the AI shore briefs, the safety locker, the crew records, and the boat itself, built and dogfooded on a real ocean crossing aboard SV Cloud Nine.
Guides for everything live at support.watchkeeper.me, and every boat gets a free public Ship’s Blog the family can follow.
