Reports
We love paperless record keeping and apps but we bet that an old-fashioned printable report (e.g. pdf) is needed from time to time. Some people/agencies still love their papers and thus you should be able to comply and get it in print for them! (e.g. this amazing mechanic of yours that thinks that mobile phones are just for making calls, some authority in need of a boat document hard-copy, etc).
TheBoatApp's Reports feature gives boat owners and managers the ability to extract, view, and export the data they have diligently recorded across the app's various modules — including Inventory, Tasks, Costs, Logbook, Operations Log, Alerts, and more — into structured, ready-to-use documents. Rather than keeping all data locked within the app's digital interface alone, Reports bridges the gap between digital management and the real-world needs of boating life: handing a maintenance list to a technician, presenting a cost summary to a co-owner, filing documentation for an insurer, or simply keeping a personal printed archive of the vessel's history.
In a boating context, where paperwork and official records still play a significant role — for harbour authorities, insurance companies, regulatory compliance, and resale value — the ability to produce clean, shareable, and printable reports is a genuine added-value feature. It transforms the raw data stored in TheBoatApp into actionable, communicable documents, making the platform not just a digital logbook, but a complete boat management and reporting tool.

- Printable outputs — Produce print-ready reports (e.g. PDF) for use in offline and non-digital contexts, such as sharing with a mechanic, surveyor, or harbour master.
- Shareable data files — Export structured data files (XLS, CSV) that can be opened in spreadsheet applications, enabling further analysis, filtering, or sharing with accountants, co-owners, or fleet managers.

- Support for legal compliance & insurance — Printed or exported reports serve as formal records that can support regulatory submissions, insurance claims, and vessel surveys.
- Enhanced resale value documentation — A well-documented maintenance and operations history exported via Reports provides tangible proof of vessel upkeep, contributing to a stronger resale position.
