Welcome to Boatkeep, your trusted partner in boat ownership and maintenance. We're on a mission to revolutionize the way boat owners approach repairs, maintenance, and overall vessel care.
Our Vision
By 2025, we aim to have assisted 1,000,000 boat owners with maintenance, repairs, replacements, and valuable knowledge. Imagine 1,000 harbors, each with 1,000 boats - that's our goal. And you, represented by the blue dot in that vast sea of vessels, are an integral part of this journey. Thank you for being here.
Our Mission
At Boatkeep, we're dedicated to helping boat owners and sailors spend less time repairing and fixing their boats, and more time enjoying life on the water. We understand the challenges that come with boat ownership, and we're here to make your maritime experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Why We Created Boatkeep

Our Core Beliefs:
- Safety and confidence should be at the forefront of every boat repair
- Boats should be maintained in lasting, working condition through reliable and future-proof repairs
- Costs and research time for repairs should be minimized
- Boat owners should spend more time enjoying their vessels than repairing them
