Marine diagnostic system · Ionian Sea

Know what's wrong.
Before you call anyone.

Describe the problem in your own words. FixMyBoat gives you a clear, systematic plan to fix it yourself, step by step — and only points you to a local professional if you'd rather not, or the job genuinely calls for one.

Currently testing with real boat owners across the Ionian.

How it works

Three steps, start to finish.

No manuals, no forums, no guessing which YouTube video applies to your boat.

01

Describe

Tell it what's happening, in plain language — the way you'd explain it to a mechanic on the phone.

02

Follow a systematic fix

Once it knows the cause, you get a real step-by-step repair plan — written for the job in front of you, not a generic manual.

03

Call a professional — only if you choose to

Prefer not to tackle it yourself, or the job genuinely needs a professional? It hands you straight to a trusted local technician — not a search engine.

Built-in judgement

It knows when to stop.

Every diagnosis runs through four safety tiers, quietly, in the background — so the app never talks you into something dangerous.

Caution

Worth noting. Keep going.

Make safe

One simple step first — then continue safely.

Serious finding

Stop using it. Time to call a professional.

Stop

Immediate danger. Full emergency guidance, instantly.

Why it's worth it

Every diagnosis makes you better at this.

FixMyBoat isn't just a fix for today's problem. Use it enough times and you start recognising the patterns yourself — what a failing bilge pump sounds like, what a starved engine feels like.

A year of that costs less than a single hour of a professional's time.

Average call-out, 1 hour €60–100+
FixMyBoat Pro, 1 full year €49.99 FREE
What you keep either way The knowledge

Free for everyone during testing. €49.99/year is the anticipated price once testing ends.

Questions

Before you start

Do I have to fix it myself?+

No. FixMyBoat always gives you the systematic DIY fix first, but the choice is entirely yours — if you'd rather not tackle it, you can go straight to a trusted local technician instead.

What if I try the fix and it doesn't work?+

You're never stuck. If the guided fix doesn't resolve it, FixMyBoat connects you with a local professional who already knows what's been tried, so you're not starting the explanation from scratch.

Is it safe to rely on for something serious?+

Every diagnosis runs through four built-in safety tiers. If a problem could be dangerous, FixMyBoat stops the DIY guidance immediately and tells you to call a professional — it never talks you into something risky to save you a call-out.

Do I need to know anything technical to use it?+

No. You describe what's happening in plain language, the way you'd explain it to a mechanic on the phone. FixMyBoat asks the follow-up questions and does the technical thinking.

Which boat systems does it cover?+

17 systems in total — engine, propulsion, electrical, freshwater, generator, watermaker, rigging, steering, navigation electronics, gas, and more.

How does it choose which technician to recommend?+

Only from real, vetted local professionals matched to the actual problem and your area — never a generic directory dump.

What does it cost?+

FixMyBoat is currently free for everyone while we test with real boat owners across the Ionian. A free tier will always be available — an optional Pro tier for unlimited use is planned for later. Request access below to join now, while it's still free.

What does it cost for technicians?+

Nothing to claim your listing and earn the Verified Partner badge — it's free. The first professionals to join also become Founding Partners, free for 6 months then €149/year after. And on any tier, FixMyBoat never takes a commission on jobs between you and boat owners — the work you win stays entirely yours.
