Keel laid. Hull flipped. Engines dropped in.

Sell the experience,
not just the boat.

MyBoatBuild gives your shop one branded app to share photo updates, milestones, documents, and change orders — so customers feel the build instead of chasing it.

They feel the build. Start to delivery.

  • iOS & Android from one app
  • Your brand — your logo, colors, name
  • Built for customer-focused boat builders

  • Private per project

The build is the relationship

A 12-month build runs across five tools and nobody’s in sync.

Customers paid six or seven figures for a custom boat — and then waited a year while progress trickled out by text, email, and the occasional photo from the floor. Your shop spends hours re-explaining the same milestones to anxious buyers.

As time goes by, the excitement turns to anxiety and buyer’s remorse kicks in. The customer deserves to be part of the process, and wants to be connected to this monumental life event — a custom boat build.

MyBoatBuild replaces that chaos with one app where the build lives. Customers are connected as the build story unfolds right before their eyes, and the initial excitement carries from start to delivery.

No more “any update?” texts. No specs lost in email. Just the build, unfolding in one place.

  • Text messages
    Photos lost in iMessage threads
  • Email
    Buried under invoices and spec PDFs
  • Phone calls
    “Just checking in on the boat...”
  • Shared folders
    Nobody knows what changed
What you get

Everything the build needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Six tools you’re already cobbling together — collapsed into one app that you can hand to your customer on day one of their build.

  • Build updates

    Post a photo, write a caption, hit share. Every customer in that project gets a push notification — and a feed they can scroll any time.

  • Milestones & progress

    Seven stage progression from design to delivery, plus your own milestone list per build. Customers see what just happened — and what’s next.

  • Change orders

    Line-item change orders with digital sign-off. No more “I never agreed to that” after the boat hits the water.

  • Documents & specs

    Drawings, manuals, contracts — stored privately per project. Always the latest version, always one tap away.

  • Direct messages

    Per-project chat with realtime delivery. Stop digging through email — the conversation lives next to the boat it’s about.

  • Your brand

    Set your logo, primary color, and shop name once. Customers see your brand — not ours — every time they open the app.

How it works

Three steps. Then your build runs itself.

  1. 01

    Spin up your shop

    We onboard your shop with your logo, colors, and milestone templates. You’re ready in a day, not a quarter.

  2. 02

    Invite the customer

    Generate a per-build invite from the app. Your customer signs in and instantly sees their boat, their docs, their chat.

  3. 03

    Post the build

    Snap a photo on the floor, write a one-liner, tap post. The customer gets a push notification. The build keeps moving.

For builders

Every build is your next referral.

Customers who can see their build don’t call asking about it. They post about it. The next referral is already in the group chat — and your shop is the brand they’re showing off.

  • Built for shops doing 5+ boats a year
    Designed for the 4–24 month builds where the relationship matters as much as the boat.
  • Multi-project, multi-customer
    Run every build in the shop from one dashboard. Staff see all projects; each customer sees only theirs.
  • Realtime where it matters
    Posts, messages, and change orders update live across iOS and Android. No “did you see this?” calls.
  • Apple Sign-In + Google
    Customers sign in the way they already do. No new password to forget.

FAQ

Common questions

The quick answers builders ask before they get started.

  • What is MyBoatBuild?

    MyBoatBuild is a build-tracking app made for custom boat builders. It gives each shop one branded app to share photo and video updates, milestones, documents, and change orders with their customers throughout the months-long build.

  • How does MyBoatBuild work?

    The builder posts progress updates, marks milestones complete, and uploads documents from their phone. The customer follows along in the builder’s branded app, sees every update in real time, and approves change orders — no more scattered texts, emails, and photo threads.

  • How much does MyBoatBuild cost?

    Launch pricing is $199 per month per brand (regular price $299), billed monthly on a 12-month commitment. Unlimited builds per year, unlimited customer invitations, and multiple brands are included. The rate you lock in now carries through every renewal.

  • Is the app branded for my shop?

    Yes. MyBoatBuild is white-label — your logo and brand colors appear throughout the app your customers use, so the experience looks like it came from your shop, not a third party.

  • Do my customers have to pay anything?

    No. Customers join free through an invite from their builder. They simply download the app, accept the invite, and start following their build.

  • Is there an iOS and Android app?

    Yes — MyBoatBuild runs on both iOS and Android, for builders and their customers alike.

  • What can I share with my customers?

    Photo and video updates, build milestones with target dates, documents like contracts and specs, and change orders your customer can review and approve right in the app.

  • Who is MyBoatBuild for?

    Custom and semi-custom boat builders running multi-month builds who want to keep customers informed and confident without the constant phone calls, texts, and “any update?” emails.
