Frequently Asked Questions
What is a yacht logbook and why is it required on board?
A yacht logbook is an official record of a vessel’s daily operations, including navigation details, engine performance, weather, and safety checks. It is required on board to meet maritime regulations, support audits, and create a legal record of activities. YACHTNEEDS provides dedicated logbooks designed for professional yacht crew, helping vessels stay compliant and organised.
What types of maritime logbooks do captains and engineers need?
Captains and engineers use several specialised logbooks, such as:
Bridge or Navigation Logbooks
Engine Room Logbooks
Safety and Drill Logbooks
Daily Operations Logbooks
Maintenance and Technical Logbooks
YACHTNEEDS offers a full selection of these logbook types so crews can track every aspect of vessel operations in a clear and compliant format.
How do logbooks help a yacht stay compliant with maritime regulations?
Logbooks help yachts stay compliant by providing accurate, time-stamped records that meet the reporting standards required by flag states, port authorities, and safety frameworks such as ISM and SOLAS. Keeping structured log entries reduces risk during audits or inspections. The logbooks available on YACHTNEEDS are designed to follow industry expectations and support regulatory compliance.
What should be recorded in a daily yacht or bridge logbook?
A daily or bridge logbook should include the vessel’s position, speed, headings, weather updates, watch changes, navigation decisions, engine notes, and any unusual events. These entries create a complete operational history. YACHTNEEDS supplies logbooks with clear templates that guide crew on what to record for accurate, consistent documentation.
