Checklists
The Checklists module in TheBoatApp is a structured to-do management tool that allows boat and yacht owners to create, organise, and work through any type of checklist relevant to their on-board life — from pre-departure safety checks and provisioning lists to off-board lock-up routines and emergency procedures.
Rather than relying on paper lists or generic task apps, users benefit from a purpose-built, marine-focused environment where checklists are tied to their specific vessel and accessible across all devices — web, iOS, and Android — both online and offline.
A key differentiator is the community checklist library: a curated collection of public checklists created and shared by fellow mariners. Users can browse proven, real-world workflows — such as an On-board Checklist, Pre-Cruising Checklist, Survival Kit, or Health Emergencies & First Aid Kit — and either follow them to always receive the latest version, or copy them as a personal starting point to customise freely.
The result is a feature that saves time, reduces human error, and raises safety standards on board, whilst fostering a collaborative boating community.
