⚓ For charter captains, guides & rental operators

A down boat is lost money.
Keep her booked.

Maintenance, crew papers, vessel documents, and trip records — your whole charter operation on the phone in your pocket, with an AI that knows your boat. Stay ahead of breakdowns so the season never stops.

A cancelled trip because the impeller went on the busiest Saturday of the year. → A reminder three trips before it would have.
What It Handles

Built for boats that work weekends.

Charter and guide boats run harder than any private boat — more hours, more guests, more paperwork, less downtime to fix things. ZipMarine is set up for exactly that.

Maintenance that keeps pace with bookings

Service intervals tied to real engine hours, not the calendar. See what’s coming due before the next trip, not after the breakdown.

Crew certs & vessel papers, with expiry alerts

Licenses, drug-program paperwork, registrations, insurance, inspection records — tracked in one place, flagged before they lapse.

Trip & customer records without the office work

Log trips, guests, and notes from the dock. Your history builds itself instead of living in a notebook and your head.

An AI that knows YOUR boat

It reads your manuals and service history. Ask “what oil does the port engine take?” or “when did we last do the raw-water pump?” and get a straight answer.

Parts & spares you can find

Know what’s aboard, what’s in the truck, and what to reorder — so a $40 part doesn’t cancel a $1,500 trip.

Costs you can actually see

Receipts and invoices captured per boat, so you know what each vessel really costs to run — and what she’s earning.

A Day On It

Here’s what it looks like on a charter day.

6:00 am

Phone shows today’s two trips and one heads-up: generator service due in 8 hours of run time.

6:30 am

Mate pulls up the boat’s open items on his phone. Last night’s engine hours are already in — nothing on a clipboard.

1:00 pm

Guest asks about the boat. Captain asks the AI where the spare belts are. Answered in seconds.

7:00 pm

Engine hours updated, fuel receipt snapped, generator service booked for Tuesday — the only day off.

Priced by the foot, per boat. A 34-ft center-console charter and a 60-ft sportfish pay different prices because they’re different jobs — every size gets the whole system. Running several boats? Second and later boats get a better deal.

Ten minutes, your boat’s actual numbers, no sales script. If it doesn’t make your season easier, don’t buy it.

We’re building a ZipMarine charter marketplace where well-maintained boats can earn their keep. It isn’t open yet. Leave your details and we’ll reach out when it launches in your area.
