Maritime software studio
Twenty-five years at sea, now built into the tools that run superyachts. Handover is live. CrewVisa and Bonifacio are close behind.
One live product · Two on the way · Cape Town, since 2025
One idea per product. Each one keeps something with the vessel and its crew, instead of letting it walk off at the end of a season.
Crew change. Knowledge stays.
A yacht handover app that keeps a vessel's operational knowledge with the boat, not the crew, across every crew change. Voice notes, photos, and messages become a structured handover the next officer can actually use.
Know your Schengen days. Keep your papers safe.
A Schengen 90-in-180-day tracker and secure travel-document wallet built for yacht crew, planned for the App Store and Google Play.
Private AI for superyachts.
A private assistant that answers from your own vessel's manuals and handover notes, with page citations. Each yacht's data sits in its own locked vault, names are scrubbed before any provider sees a question, and no provider keeps or trains on it. You decide who can read it.
Helmwise is built by people who have spent a career at sea, not by outsiders studying the industry from a distance. Twenty-five years of superyacht operations sit behind every decision in the product, what to log, what to hand over, what a night watch actually needs at three in the morning. The problems Helmwise solves, lost handovers, broken knowledge continuity, systems that never fit the vessel, were lived on deck and on the bridge long before they were written into software. Helmwise is that seamanship, continued in software.
Handover is live today at thehandover.app, in real use, with more tools built to the same standard on the way. Every tool starts from the same place, the work as it actually happens on board.
The same discipline runs through every Helmwise product. Fewer features, done properly, is the whole point.
Tools shaped by the industry they serve, in its own language, not borrowed from somewhere else.
What is live is called live, what is coming is called coming, and the difference is never blurred.
A small number of tools built well, because a broken thing on board costs more trust than a missing one.
Start with Handover, live today. CrewVisa and Bonifacio are close behind. If you run yachts and care about continuity, we would like to hear from you.
