Fleet monitoring for working boats.

Big Bear Marine Services puts your whole operation in one place — a daily walkthrough for every boat, sensor monitoring, live vessel tracking, and maintenance — in an iOS app your crew will actually use.

Create an account in the app, pick a plan, and you're in. Crew join free and are let in by their boat's admin.

Everything the fleet generates, in one place

Built by marine operators, for marine operators — not adapted from trucking or facilities software.

A daily walkthrough

Each boat’s day is one walkthrough — engine hours, tanks, safety tasks, maintenance due, the log sheet — ending in the daily report. Anything left undone is named on the report, with the reason.

Paper log sheets, digitized

Photograph the handwritten engine room sheet and the app reads it into the record, then fills in the day’s engine hours and tank levels once someone has checked them. The clipboard still works.

Sensor monitoring

Sensaphone integration watches bilge levels, shore power, and temperatures around the clock, right on the boat’s page.

Live vessel tracking

See where every boat in your fleet is right now, straight from the crew’s devices — no extra hardware to install.

Maintenance & inventory

Tasks come due by engine hours or by date. Completing one takes the parts it used off that boat’s inventory, so the count on the shelf stays honest.

Safety Management System

Recurring safety tasks with reminders and sign-offs, so the record shows who did what and when.

Hours & trips

Crew enter a time in and a time out from the dock or the wheelhouse; their hours stay private to them. Trips are planned once and shared with the whole crew.

Records & reports

Ops logs, rounds, log sheets and daily reports in one place to look back on, with printable yearly summaries for record keeping.

Alerts to the right people

Maintenance, sensor and safety alerts go to admins and that boat’s crew. A missed or problem daily report goes to admins. Everyone chooses what buzzes their own phone.

Crew chat

Talk to the whole crew, one boat, or one person, without handing out phone numbers.

Private by design

Anyone can install the app. Nobody sees your fleet unless you let them in.

Crew who sign up are let in by their boat's admin, or by us. No approval, no data. Ever.
An admin adds their own crew by e-mail; no codes to hand around.
Crew only see the vessels they're assigned to.
Your fleet's data belongs to your organization alone.

How it works

From install to a running fleet in an afternoon.

You're in right away

The moment the purchase goes through you're the admin of your own fleet. Add your boats under Settings, and we'll help wire up sensors and log-sheet templates for your operation.

Your crew signs in

Add your crew by e-mail from the app and they’re in the moment they create their account — or they sign up first and get approved. Then it’s live: the daily walkthrough, alerts, tracking, and all.
