About Helm AI
Built by the people who were tired of the runaround.
Helm AI was created by professional yacht captains and marine engineers who lived the problem: fragmented information, unclear diagnoses, uncertain parts, and no reliable way to reach someone who genuinely knows the system in front of you.
Our team has stood in engine rooms at midnight with an alarm sounding, a guest schedule to keep, and no clear answer. We have spent days chasing a single part number across dealers in three time zones, and weeks trying to find a qualified technician willing to travel to the dock.
The repair is rarely the hard part. The hard part is the diagnosis, the correct component, the right person, and the record of what was actually done. Every one of those lives in a different place — a manual in a drawer, a number in a WhatsApp thread, a recommendation from someone on the next pontoon.
Helm AI was built to bring all of it together into one intelligent platform, so a breakdown costs hours instead of weeks.

The ecosystem
Seven parts of one continuous system.
Each product solves a specific problem on its own — and each one hands off to the next without you repeating yourself.
Bridge
The intelligent command center. Vessel health, live status across every system, and the single next action that matters most today.
BoatMD
Diagnoses marine problems using AI. It reasons like a chief engineer — asking the right follow-up questions before it commits to a cause.
Helm Parts
Connects you with verified suppliers. Search by part number, engine model or symptom and reach vendors who actually hold the stock.
Helm Service
Connects you with trusted marine professionals — mechanics, electricians, riggers and yards, matched to the work and the location.
Helm Expert
Live access to verified marine engineers by chat, voice or secure video when a problem needs a human with decades at sea.
Helm Maintenance
Predicts maintenance before failures occur, using running hours, service history and manufacturer intervals across every machine aboard.
My Vessel
Stores the vessel's complete digital profile — engines, generators, equipment, manuals, warranties and history, in one place.
Mission
“To become the world's most trusted intelligent marine operating system by helping every boat owner, captain, engineer, marina, shipyard, and yacht management company diagnose problems faster, reduce downtime, simplify maintenance, and operate vessels with greater confidence.”
Vision
“To create the digital operating system for the global marine industry where AI, verified professionals, intelligent maintenance, and trusted supplier networks work together in one seamless ecosystem.”
Our philosophy
Six principles, applied to every screen we ship.
Simplicity
One clear answer, one clear next step. If a screen needs explaining, it isn't finished.
Trust
Verified suppliers, verified engineers, verified professionals. No invented listings, no filler results.
Professionalism
Built for the standards captains, engineers and management companies are already held to.
Safety
Hazards come before procedures. When a job belongs to a professional, we say so plainly.
Innovation
AI where it genuinely helps — reasoning, prediction and search — never as decoration.
Practical engineering
Answers you can act on at the dock, with the tools and parts realistically within reach.
Whether you're operating a 25-foot center console, a 120-meter superyacht, or managing an entire fleet, Helm AI exists to help you spend less time solving problems and more time enjoying life on the water.
