Benefits

Your BoatSmart HQ membership is your key to unlocking a suite of valuable benefits, all of which will help you get maximum value from your vessel.

From dedicated BoatSmart HQ team support, market-leading technology that brings everything together in the palm of your hand, through to valuable partner benefits such as exceptional Marine Insurance packages - it pays to be a member.

Your own dedicated First Mate

Your dedicated First Mate is your go-to-guy for everything, from carrying out your vessel’s regular inspections to helping you get cast off your next trip. Our highly experienced First Mates are valuable sources of knowledge that you can turn to whether it’s engine repairs or voyage planning.

If you’d like to speak with the First Mate you’re likely to be paired with first before joining, check out the Locations tab.

Benefits of your Dedicated First Mate

Regular Vessel Inspections

The regular vessel inspections carried out by your BoatSmart HQ First Mate reduces the chance that your vessel will meet unexpected problems while at sea. In addition to the added safety and peace-of-mind, keeping your vessel in optimal condition also reduces your maintenance costs and maximizes the time that your boat is available for use.

BoatSmart HQ Managed:
Months in use 11 | Cost of maintenance – circa $10k

Self-Managed:
Months in use 9 | Cost of maintenance – circa $30k [Extra costs: Lift, covered storage, labour, additional parts]

Preventative Maintenance

At the heart of the BoatSmart HQ brand is preventative maintenance. The more that can be done to proactively identify and manage potential issues before they become a problem – the more time [off the water] and money you will inevitably save.

In the same way in which we service our cars, BoatSmart HQ helps to wrap a formal schedule of preventative maintenance around your vessel, and it just happens. Like clockwork. And in every instance where maintenance is required, you will be contacted for prior approval on the BoatSmart HQ App.

Seamless. Proactive. And almost always cost-neutral [against the cost of membership].

No brainer.

New Boat Warranty Management

BoatSmart HQ works with a growing number of Australasia’s leading marine importers, such as Sports Marine and Ray White Marine, who represent some of the world’s most sought after brands. These include Princess Yachts, Nimbus, Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, and more.

In partnership, BoatSmart HQ is engaged to provide an end-to-end warranty management programme as a formal after-sales service.  This ensures everything runs hassle-free across the duration of your warranty period, and you can relax and enjoy the best new boat experience in the market.

Talk to your Marine Importer or Boat Broker about whether they are working with BoatSmart HQ, so you can take advantage of this service too.

Digital Ship's Log

The Ship’s Log is where you can find every Vessel Inspection Report [VIR] as well as a record of all of the repairs, refits, and upgrades that have ever been done to your boat.

Each report is a running audit for your vessel including vital systems and components prone to failure. The Ship’s Log is instantly accessible to owners online on their BoatSmart HQ members’ App, and is now helping boat owners reduce their insurance premiums. Contact us today to learn more about the Marine Insurance opportunities available to you as part of your BoatSmart HQ membership.
