abaft.app
Estimated Resale Value
Business Idea
A mobile/web app for small yacht and sailboat owners to track maintenance, schedules, parts, invoices, and service history with reminders and QR-tagged components.
Boat owners struggle to track maintenance, irregular schedules, parts history and service records across paper logbooks and scattered receipts.
Recreational boat and yacht owners, small marinas, independent boat mechanics, brokers who need tidy maintenance histories for resale.
Centralized digital logbook with reminders, QR-tagging and shared access for mechanics. Saves time, improves resale value and prevents costly failures.
Growth in recreational boating, rising used-yacht transactions, and affordable mobile QR tagging make digital maintenance adoption timely.
Freemium app: basic logbook free; premium subscription for multi-boat, team access, parts inventory, and PDF export; partner referral fees.
Abaft.app evokes nautical heritage and logbook tradition—perfect for a boat-oriented maintenance and records platform.
Business Idea
A cloud service that ingests stern/transom camera feeds to detect collisions, wakes, docking events and crew activity, producing alerts and compliance reports.
Accidents during docking/stern operations go undocumented and cause liability disputes; manual review of long video is time-consuming.
Commercial small-vessel operators, charter fleets, fishing boats, marinas and insurance companies needing evidence and risk reduction.
Real-time detection and automated incident video clips reduce liability, speed claims, improve training and lower insurance premiums.
Hardware cameras are cheaper, cloud analytics matured, insurers demand telematics; fleets seek tech to reduce incidents and claims.
Monthly per-vessel subscriptions for analytics, premium incident storage, API access for insurers, and one-time installation partnerships.
Abaft means toward the stern—ideal for a product focused on stern-camera safety and analytics.
Business Idea
A marketplace and itinerary planner connecting local skippers, small charter boats and coastal travelers, offering route planning, provisioning, and bookings.
Independent skippers and small charter operators lack distribution and easy trip planning tools; travelers find fragmented options and poor local intel.
Local professional skippers, micro-charter companies, weekend sailors, coastal travelers and adventure tourists seeking curated trips.
Combine booking marketplace, route planner with tidal/anchor guidance, local provisioning partners and verified skipper profiles for seamless trips.
Post-pandemic outdoor travel surge, demand for micro-escapes, and better mobile mapping APIs enable streamlined last-mile charter experiences.
Commission on bookings, premium listings for skippers, route-planner subscriptions for operators, and partnerships with marinas/providers.
Abaft.app has nautical cachet and is memorable for a coastal charter and trip-planning marketplace tied to stern-to-bow travel.
