How We Review & Score
Our methodology is published in full. Every score is reproducible. No black boxes, no pay-for-play.
Our Review Process
Four steps to every review, every time.
In-Depth Research
We analyse product documentation, feature lists, demo videos, and publicly available information for every platform.
User Research
We aggregate verified user reviews from G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, and yacht crew forums. Real voices, not vendor marketing.
Structured Scoring
We score across 6 categories with published weights. The math is visible — every sub-score contributes to the overall rating.
Ongoing Updates
Reviews are refreshed quarterly. If a vendor ships a major update or changes pricing, we re-test and update our scores.

Our Independence Pledge
We are not owned by, affiliated with, or beholden to any yacht software vendor. Our reviews are written after thorough research and include genuine criticisms alongside praise.
Some links on this site are affiliate or referral links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our scores or recommendations. We clearly mark affiliate links and publish a full affiliate disclosure.
Vendors can request a review, but they cannot pay for a higher score. If a vendor disputes our findings, we investigate and update if warranted, with a public changelog noting what changed and why.
