Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bridge logbook used for on a yacht?

A bridge logbook is used to record all essential navigation and vessel-handling information, including headings, positions, weather conditions, watch changes, engine status, incidents, and daily operational notes. It serves as the yacht’s official record for compliance, safety, and voyage documentation, and is required on both private and commercial vessels.

What should be recorded in a bridge logbook during navigation?

A proper bridge logbook entry typically includes:

  • Time and position (GPS coordinates)

  • Course steered and speed

  • Weather conditions and sea state

  • Engine hours and compass checks

  • Watch handover notes

  • Any significant events, alarms, or deviations
    Recording these details ensures traceability, legal compliance, and operational continuity between bridge teams.

Why are bridge logbooks required on yachts and superyachts?

Bridge logbooks are mandatory for maintaining accurate navigational and operational records. Authorities such as port state control, insurance providers, and maritime regulators often request these records to verify safe operation, compliance with international regulations, and proper voyage planning. They also act as an essential reference during audits or incident investigations.

How do I choose the right bridge logbook for my vessel?

Choose a bridge logbook based on:

  • The type of yacht (private, charter, commercial)

  • Required regulatory formats (ISM, MCA, SOLAS)

  • Layout preferences (daily log, watch log, navigation log)

  • Customisation needs (vessel name, logo, operational requirements)
    High-quality bridge logbooks designed specifically for yachts provide structured sections, durable construction, and clear compliance-aligned formats.

Are customised bridge logbooks better for yacht operations?

Yes. Customised bridge logbooks allow you to include vessel-specific fields, operational procedures, and formats required by your yacht management company, captain, or flag state. Custom logs improve efficiency, accuracy, and consistency across the bridge team—especially on superyachts with detailed reporting requirements.
