Features
Built specifically for superyachts from 20m to 100m+. Every module designed by people who understand what happens on board.
Running a vessel means managing people as much as machinery. HELM gives you a complete crew command centre — from onboarding to offboarding, watch rotations to payroll. Every crew member, every certification, every schedule — in one place.
Every passage starts with a plan. HELM's voyage module gives you an interactive chart planner, waypoint management, fuel tracking, and guest manifests — all linked to a single voyage record. Plan it, log it, report it.
Deferred maintenance is a liability. HELM's planned maintenance system keeps your vessel in class and your crew ahead of every service interval. Log defects the moment they're found. Close them out when they're fixed.
ISM. MLC. STCW. PSC. HELM covers every pillar of maritime regulatory compliance in one place. Track certificates, log drills, monitor crew rest hours, and walk into any port state inspection with a live compliance score and every document instantly accessible.
Know where every euro goes. HELM's financial module gives captains and owners a clear picture of operating costs, charter income, and budget performance — without needing an accountant on board.
At sea, you're the first responder. HELM's Medical Bay keeps every crew member's medical records, onboard medications, and treatment logs in one secure place — so you're always prepared for a medical emergency, wherever you are.
Give owners exactly what they need — and nothing they don't. A clean, real-time view of vessel performance, financials, and compliance without requiring them to log into the full platform or call the captain.
From the wine cellar to the fuel dock, HELM tracks every provision on board. Build order lists, manage supplier relationships, and keep your inventory accurate — so you're never caught short in a remote anchorage.
Charter operations demand precision. HELM gives you a complete charter management suite — from pre-arrival guest preferences to post-charter reviews. Keep your APA balanced, your calendar full, and your guests coming back.
Keep your vessel communicating clearly. HELM's built-in chat organises conversations by department — so deck, engineering, interior, and management each have their own channel, and nothing gets lost in a WhatsApp group.
The industry is moving toward greener operations. HELM helps you stay ahead of IMO regulations by tracking CO2 emissions per voyage, calculating your CII rating, and generating annual emissions summaries for flag state reporting.
HELM watches your vessel so you don't have to. Smart Alerts monitors maintenance schedules, certification expiries, compliance deadlines, and operational thresholds — and notifies the right person at the right time.
See every vessel in your fleet on a live interactive map — real-time position, speed, heading, and auto-updating ETAs via AIS. The feature competitors charge thousands for, built right into HELM at no extra cost.
The single biggest regulatory pain point for yacht captains — solved. HELM auto-calculates minimum rest requirements per MLC 2006, flags violations in real time, and generates PDF timesheets for flag-state and PSC inspections.
Generate a public charter availability page for your vessel in minutes. Share the link with brokers and guests. Photos, rates, live calendar, and enquiry form — all in one shareable URL. A potential revenue driver for owners and managers.
Tell HELM your crew count, charter duration, and guest preferences — Claude AI generates a complete provisioning list sorted by supplier, accounting for dietary restrictions, allergies, and voyage length. One click. Done.
Upload a photo of a passport, STCW certificate, or MMSI document — Claude Vision parses the expiry date, name, and number and pre-fills the form automatically. Hours of manual data entry, eliminated.
A single red button activates Man Overboard mode — GPS-stamped incident log, nearest port and coastguard VHF channel, push alert to all crew devices, and a step-by-step MOB protocol checklist. Every second counts.
HELM's AI analyses engine hours, historical service records, and usage patterns to predict the next failure window per system — and auto-generates preventive work orders before problems become emergencies. Differentiates from every static PMS tracker on the market.
Every port card in HELM now shows a live OpenWeatherMap radar overlay — wind speed, precipitation, and sea state at a glance. No more switching between apps to check conditions before departure.
Claude Sonnet 4.5 analyses your planned route, departure time, and the 5-day forecast to identify the optimal passage window — and flags any weather risks along each leg. Smarter than any weather app.
Before confirming a charter, HELM checks the forecast for your planned dates and route — and gives you an AI weather risk score. Know before you commit whether the conditions suit the itinerary.
Scheduled daily email digests via Resend — captains get a morning weather + ops briefing, owners get their financial and vessel status summary. Delivered at the right time, in the right time zone, every day.
When a captain acknowledges a weather alert, HELM asks "How did you handle this?" — postponed, rerouted, proceeded cautiously, or no action. Over time this builds a vessel playbook. Claude then surfaces past resolutions when a similar alert fires: "Last time Azure Horizon saw 35kt gusts in Antibes, the captain postponed 4 hours."
Every morning at 07:00 in the owner's time zone, HELM delivers a single push notification: financials, charter pipeline, and vessel status — all in a swipeable card. Stay fully informed without calling the captain.
