Everything you need to run your boat repair business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Breakdown Call-Out Slots

Keep protected time for no-starts, overheating, steering issues and bilge pump failures. Customers can request urgent attendance without wrecking your planned servicing and winterisation bookings.

Service Menus for Outboards & Inboards

Offer proper marine service options like 100-hour/annual service, impeller change, anodes, gear oil, filters, belts and coolant checks, with the right lead time and prep notes for each.

Deposit & Parts-Approval Payments

Take deposits for parts-heavy jobs (sterndrive work, trim/tilt units, fuel tank cleans, electrics) and capture approval before ordering. No more getting stuck with expensive parts when a customer disappears.

Access Notes: Marina, Yard, Keys & Power

Collect the details that actually matter: berth number, gate codes, who to speak to in the office, whether shore power is available, and where the keys are kept. Turn up ready, not guessing.

Job Time Buffers for Corrosion & Seized Fixings

Build realistic gaps for snapped bolts, corroded terminals and awkward access. The system helps you avoid stacking jobs back-to-back when you know marine work loves to throw surprises.

Customer Updates for Sea Trials & Handover

Send clear messages when you need a sea trial, when you’re waiting on parts, or when the boat is ready for pickup. Customers stop ringing mid-job because they can see what’s happening.

The challenges every boat repair faces

Tide, access and lift-out constraints

A job isn’t just a time slot. You’re juggling slipway availability, yard opening hours, crane bookings, and whether the boat is afloat, on hardstanding, or on a trailer. When access changes last minute, a normal calendar quickly becomes a mess of crossed-out notes.

Fault-finding that turns into major work

Marine faults rarely present neatly. A “won’t start” call can be anything from a flat battery to a fuel contamination issue, corroded wiring, or a dead ECU. If you book everything as fixed-length appointments, you end up running late and upsetting the next customer.

Parts delays and supplier lead times

Impellers, anodes and filters are easy; trim motors, sterndrives and specialist electronics aren’t. Customers expect you to give dates you can’t control, then chase you for updates. Without a proper booking trail, it’s hard to keep jobs warm while waiting on parts.

Getting paid when the boat isn’t in front of you

With yard work and remote moorings, you’re often not face-to-face at handover. Invoicing afterwards leads to slow payments, disputes over “time spent”, and awkward follow-ups. You need a clear approval trail, deposits for parts, and simple ways for customers to pay.

Built for real boat repair workflows

Most days start with a quick look at the weather and the diary: which boats are afloat, which are on the hard, and where you’re travelling to first. You might have an annual service booked at a marina, then a fault find on a RIB that “cuts out at higher revs”, then a quick look at a bilge pump issue that can’t wait. The problem is the in-between time: finding the right person for access, getting t...

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our boat repair booking system.

Try it free
Can I keep space for urgent marine breakdowns without wrecking my diary?

Yes. You can reserve specific call-out slots for urgent jobs like no-starts, overheating alarms, steering failures or leaks. Customers can request an urgent slot while your planned servicing stays protected. You can also set rules so breakdown requests need a minimum notice or confirmation.

What job types does the system handle for a boat mechanic or marine engineer?

It works for outboard servicing, inboard servicing, fault-finding/diagnostics, electrical issues, bilge pumps, chargers, heating, steering and control problems, and general yacht maintenance. You can set different durations and buffers depending on the job. That means a 100-hour service isn’t booked the same as a wiring fault.

When should I take payment for boat repairs — deposit, on completion, or invoice later?

For parts-heavy or uncertain jobs, a deposit and parts approval up front saves headaches. For routine servicing, many businesses take payment on completion via a link, even if the owner isn’t present at handover. If you prefer invoicing, you can still send payment requests immediately with a clear job record attached.

How does this help with seasonal demand like spring recommissioning and winterisation?

You can create seasonal services (recommissioning checks, impeller/anode packages, winterisation) and open additional availability during peak weeks. When demand spikes, customers can book the next realistic slot instead of hammering your phone. It also reduces the admin of repeating the same questions and prep notes all season.

Can I manage multiple engineers, vans, or marina visits in one place?

Yes. You can organise availability for different team members and avoid double-booking the same person across separate marinas. Each booking carries the location and access details so whoever attends knows exactly where they’re going. It’s especially useful when one tech is doing services and another is handling diagnostics and breakdowns.

How do I turn quotes into confirmed bookings for bigger jobs like sterndrives or electrics?

Send a booking link with the quote so the customer can lock in a slot straight away rather than “getting back to you”. You can require a deposit to confirm the booking, which stops time-wasters. It also creates a clear trail of what was agreed before you start ordering parts.

How does customer communication work for sea trials, parts delays and access updates?

You can message customers with updates like “awaiting parts”, “need access to the boat”, or “sea trial required” so they know what’s happening without repeated calls. It’s handy when the boat is in a yard and you’re coordinating with office staff for keys or lift-outs. Customers get confirmations and reminders, reducing no-shows and missed handovers.

Can I use different pricing for call-outs, servicing packages and diagnostic time?

Yes. Set a call-out fee, fixed-price service packages (for common engines if you like), and hourly diagnostic rates for fault-finding. You can also add optional extras like anodes, impellers, fuel filter changes or battery replacements. That way customers see what they’re booking and you’re not stuck arguing about pricing later.

Why iBookFast for your boat repair business?

Boat owners don’t ring like they used to. They message from the pontoon, they’re on a mooring with poor signal, or they’re trying to sort an issue on a Sunday evening because they’ve got a trip planned. If you’re in an engine bay, up to your elbows in oil, or halfway through rewiring a panel, you miss the call — and by the time you ring back they’ve tried someone else. A booking link that works ou...
