Wave Studio builds digital tools for boating, from Viareggio. YachtZen is the first.
The logbook that remembers everything and answers about your boat.
Your boat, all in order. Without the effort.
For owners who care about their boat but don't want to be its secretary. Service history, deadlines, invoices and manuals in one place.
Bring in what you already have.
Keep your history in an Excel sheet? Upload it as it is. YachtZen suggests where each sheet goes and a category for each row: you check and approve.
- Excel or CSV, even messy ones
- Snap a photo of an invoice or upload the PDF: the record fills itself in and you confirm
Everything in one place.
Work done and to do, upgrades, obligations, trusted providers. The dashboard shows what's coming and what it will cost you this year.
- Completed and planned maintenance
- Statistics and cost forecast
- Your providers, with the work they did
What to plan, and why.
YachtZen looks at your history and your manuals and suggests the jobs to schedule, each with its reason.
- When a suggestion comes from the manual, you get the page
- You read them and decide what to keep
Ask your boat.
Ask a question the way you would ask your mechanic. YachtZen answers from your history and your manuals, and tells you which page the figure is on.
- Upload your manuals as PDF: engines, generator, systems
- It doesn't replace an expert's advice: for important decisions, check the cited source
Show how you've kept your boat.
A tidy PDF with maintenance, upgrades and obligations, to take to the yard, the insurer or whoever buys the boat.
- Ready in one click, also as CSV
- A documented boat tells its story better
One number that tells you where you stand.
From 0 to 100, it sums up how well your boat is looked after and documented: maintenance, obligations, upgrades and documents. And it tells you how to improve it.
Said plainly, before you start.
It doesn't replace your mechanic.
Your yard and your trusted mechanic stay yours. YachtZen makes sure they arrive at the dock knowing what was done, when and by whom.
It isn't a survey or a certification.
The report and the score tell how you've kept the boat. They don't guarantee its condition.
What people ask us most.
How much does it cost?
You start for free. We'll present the plans at the end of the beta.
Do I have to retype everything?
No. Upload your history in Excel or CSV as it is, and snap or upload your invoices as PDF. You check and confirm.
Do I need to install anything?
No. YachtZen runs in your browser: sign up and start.
Does it work for a sailing boat?
Yes. YachtZen works for both motor and sailing boats.
What if I don't have my manuals as PDF?
YachtZen works without them: history, deadlines and reports don't need them. With manuals, answers and suggestions can cite the page.
Which languages?
Italian and English. Your boat's data stays in the language you write it in.
How do I join the beta?
Write to info@wavestudionautica.it. We'll reply ourselves, in person.

We're looking for a small group of owners willing to use YachtZen on their own boat and tell us, frankly, what works and what doesn't.
