What you get in Helm

Before departure. Underway. Through safe arrival.

01 · KEEP THE BOAT READY

Vessel Readiness

Organize maintenance, manuals, service history, vendors, parts, and supplies. Keep a working record of your boat and what needs attention.

02 · PLAN THE WHOLE PASSAGE

Passage Planning & Support

Start with a GPX route and build a living Passage Brief—from planning and departure through underway, arrival, and completion—with crew and watch support.

03 · KEEP THE JOURNEY VISIBLE

Digital Float Plan & Tracking

Generate a float plan from your passage. Connect tracking to compare planned and actual routes and share the last known position and contact time through your communications setup.

04 · STAY ORGANIZED ABOARD

Logs, Checklists & Calendar

Record passage events, manage recurring tasks, and organize inspections, maintenance, and key dates. Keep the crew working from a shared picture.

05 · THINK THROUGH THE PROBLEM

FIRST-MATE Case

Work through maintenance questions, preparation gaps, and unexpected issues with AI decision support that helps clarify the situation and practical next steps.

06 · COORDINATE WHEN IT MATTERS

Emergency Assistance Coordination

Use passage details and tracking information to support shore-based monitoring and best-effort coordination with available resources. NAVOPLAN does not provide search, rescue, medical, or on-site services.

You’re always the captain. FIRST-MATE helps you connect the details, challenge assumptions, and follow through—so fewer things get missed when it matters.

Also included: Bluewater Briefings, live Roundtable discussions, and a vessel website and blog to share your journey.
