Digital charter protocols for yacht and motorboat
Handover and return – one standard for your charter fleet.
Charter companies must prove condition, damage and equipment on every handover and return. deep.rent combines yacht handover protocol, charter return protocol and boat damage reports in one mobile workflow – with photos per area and PDF at the berth.
Charter depends on reliable condition records
Without structured charter documentation, disputes arise over gelcoat, inventory and engine hours. Digital charter records with timestamps and media protect both base and charterer.
