WHY YACHTSYNC

Sending CVs and certificates to crew agents wastes hours of the time you should be spending finding work. Files in the wrong format, wrong name, wrong size — every time. YachtSync was built to fix that. Set your file naming format once. Upload your certs once. Then send everything to anyone, formatted exactly how they want it, with one tap.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Scan & Upload Snap a photo or upload a PDF. The AI reads the title, expiry date, document type, and issuing authority automatically. No typing, no manual entry.

Smart Dashboard Every cert colour-coded at a glance — green (valid), amber (expiring soon), red (expired). A 6-month renewal timeline shows what's coming up so you can book courses early.

Expiry Reminders Get push notifications at 180, 90, 60, 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before any cert expires. Customise the schedule per cert. Never miss a renewal again.

87+ Certificate Types Comprehensive maritime catalog covering STCW, COC (deck & engineering), Medical (ENG1, Cayman, Marshall Islands), GMDSS, RYA, HELM, ECDIS, WSET, and more. With subtitle variants matching MCA MSN documents (1856, 1857, 1858, 1860).

Multiple Endorsements Your COC can hold every endorsement on one card — OOW Unlimited, Chief Mate Unlimited, Master Unlimited, Y4 Engineer, Chief Engineer — just like your physical certificate.

Custom File Naming Every captain and agent wants files named differently. Set your format once. Every certificate downloads with the correct filename automatically.

Portfolio Export One-tap export of your entire portfolio as a ZIP. Send to crew agents, captains, or recruiters with confidence the files are right.

Cover Page for Your Folder Generate a designed A4 cover sheet for the front of your physical cert folder. Every cert listed, status colour-coded, with a blank column to handwrite which folder page each cert lives on.

Encrypted EU Cloud Backup Your data is stored on encrypted servers in the EU. Move between devices without losing anything.

Works Offline Access every certificate even at sea with no signal. Changes sync when you're back online.

BUILT BY A DECKHAND

YachtSync started in Antibes — dockwalking, sending certs to agents, getting them rejected for the wrong format. Years later, now an officer, I built the tool I wished I'd had on day one. Free for crew. No subscription. No hidden fees. The way it should be.

PRIVACY & SECURITY

We never sell your data. We never share it with third parties. Your certificates are yours — period. Read our full privacy policy at yachtsync.uk/privacy.
