Professional marine engineering. For your boat.

Vessel IQ was started by a trade-qualified marine systems engineer. David's career began nearly 20 years ago with an apprenticeship in Marine Systems Engineering at Alloy Yachts in Auckland, New Zealand. He then moved onto commercial vessels and large super yachts, working with complex machinery and systems where maintenance, planning and accurate records are essential.

On commercial vessel and super yachts, professional engineering discipline is what improves safety and reliability. Servicing is planned, maintenance is recorded, systems are inspected properly, and small issues are dealt with before they turn into expensive failures.

Recreational boats are often managed very differently. Service history can be scattered across paper invoices, maintenance is easily delayed, and faults may only become obvious once something stops working - often at the worst possible time. Vessel IQ was started to bring a more organised, preventative approach to everyday boat ownership, supported by clear digital records through the Vessel IQ Owner Portal.

At Vessel IQ we take the systems, standards and mindset developed on professional vessels are applied to launches, sailboats, motor yachts and trailer boats. The result is a more professional approach to boat maintenance and record keeping - giving you a better understanding of your boats condition and confidence every time you are out on the water.
