Manage your boat
Open-source software for managing your yacht or sailboat, including equipment, inventory, provisions, documents, maintenance and tasks.
Built for sailors and yacht owners
YMS is designed for people who want to manage their boat's technical
information themselves.
It can be used for:
- private yacht and sailboat owners
- skippers and crews
- sailing clubs
- boat projects and refits
- people maintaining older boats
- owners managing multiple vessels
YMS is especially useful when you want a simple, transparent and self-hosted system instead of a proprietary cloud service.
Open source and self-hosted
YMS is free and open-source software. Run it on your own Linux server or on a Raspberry Pi aboard your boat.
YMS has been developed since 2024, starting as a practical tool for managing a real sailboat and evolving into an open-source project.
The project is developed as part of the open-source boat community and is intended to remain accessible to sailors who prefer to manage their own digital infrastructure.
Why YMS?
Yachts accumulate a surprising amount of information. YMS brings this information together in one system that you control.
Run it on your own server or aboard your yacht, and keep your vessel's information available when you need it — even when there is no internet connection.
Your boat. Your data. Your software
