Why would a charter operator leave Floatist?

Most often over cost structure at small scale, a quoted per-yacht licence with a €4,990 minimum per customer per term, or because crew certificates and rest hours need tracking, which Floatist does not offer.

Is HelmOps cheaper than Floatist for a growing fleet?

Floatist does not publish prices, so compare a Floatist quote at your fleet size with HelmOps. HelmOps prices are published at https://helmops.com/en/pricing: $79, $99 or $249 per month, 20% less billed annually. Every plan includes every feature; tiers differ only by vessel, owner and crew limits. 30-day free trial, no credit card required.

Does HelmOps support charter operations?

Yes. Charter trips have itinerary days, pre-departure and post-arrival checklists, a guest portal and trip-linked expenses. Floatist is built around charter fleet operations, so a charter company with many boats should evaluate both.

HelmOps Alternatives to Floatist

Teams look for a Floatist alternative when a quoted per-yacht annual licence, with a minimum of €4,990 per customer per term, does not fit a single yacht or a small operation, or when they need crew certificates and rest hours, which Floatist does not track.

Fleet and yacht management software for charter companies

Why Teams Switch

Floatist licenses per yacht per year at a quoted rate, and its terms set a minimum fee of €4,990 per customer per term.
No crew certificate or rest-hour tracking.
Staff use a progressive web app; Floatist makes an offline claim for its guest app only, not for the staff side.

Migration Notes

Bring maintenance records and inventory across by CSV import, enter crew certificates during setup, and upload other files for the HelmOps team to import. Expenses start fresh in HelmOps.

Other Options to Consider

OwlMar (formerly YachtWyse)

Charter fleets that need APA and per-charter P&L; the Charter plan is $299 a month for three vessels.

Aquator Marine

Charter yachts that want charter management with APA reconciliation, plus ISM and SMS modules.

DeepBlue

Operations whose flag state or management company requires software with third-party type approval.

Why HelmOps

HelmOps publishes monthly prices with a 30-day trial without a card, and adds crew certificates, MLC hours of rest, expense approvals and an iOS app that queues work offline. Floatist remains the closer fit for a charter company that wants software built around charter fleet operations.
