Yacht Owners
Confidence without micro-management.
Know that critical rounds are being performed even when you are not onboard.
Marine Risk
Reduction.
Provable Vigilance. Safer Vessels.
Smeaton is a superyacht risk intelligence and security platform that gives owners, managers & marine insurers verifiable evidence that critical onboard rounds and guardianage were physically completed.
One platform. Three perspectives.
Robust data for different stakeholders.
Captains need operational detail. Owners need confidence. Fleet managers need prioritisation. Insurers need a concise, defensible view of vessel assurance. Smeaton keeps one evidence base while presenting the level of detail across the ownership and risk chain.
Fleet Management
Know where attention is needed.
Compare yachts consistently and identify deteriorating performance or operational exceptions.
Marine Insurance
Signals first. Evidence underneath.
Start with concise assurance indicators and investigate the detailed records only where necessary.
Assurance & risk
Five Assurance Signals. One clear vessel view.
Insurers and fleet stakeholders shouldn’t have to sift through raw operational data to understand vessel performance. Smeaton brings five assurance signals together into a single Smeaton Index Score, surfacing the most important risk information first, with the underlying evidence available whenever deeper review is needed.
Built around the vessel
A simple crew action. A stronger operating picture.
Smeaton fits around the way professional crews already work. Management defines the route, checkpoints, timings and crew responsibility. The crew member then performs the physical round onboard using the mobile app.
Every valid checkpoint scan adds evidence to the operational record. If something is wrong, the crew can report the issue at the point of inspection with notes and photographs.
✓Secure NFC checkpoint verification
✓Scheduled rounds and crew assignments
✓Issues and photographic evidence
✓Offline-capable round execution at sea
The difference
From reported activity to verifiable assurance.
A yacht can have excellent procedures and professional crew, but owners, managers and insurers still need confidence that critical checks are actually being carried out. Smeaton connects scheduled rounds with physical NFC checkpoints to create evidence rather than another self-reported checklist.

Common questions
Superyacht risk intelligence, yacht security and verified rounds.
Direct answers to the questions owners, fleet managers and marine insurance teams most often ask about Smeaton.
What is Smeaton?
Smeaton is a superyacht risk intelligence and yacht security platform that verifies critical onboard security, safety and operational rounds using secure NFC checkpoints.
How does Smeaton help reduce vessel risk?
Smeaton creates verifiable evidence that scheduled onboard rounds were physically carried out, showing who performed them, when they started, which checkpoints were reached, which checks were missed and what issues were found.
How does Smeaton verify yacht security rounds?
Crew members use the Smeaton mobile app to physically tap secure NFC checkpoints installed around the yacht. Each valid scan creates time-stamped checkpoint evidence linked to the scheduled round and responsible crew member.
Who is Smeaton designed for?
Smeaton is designed for superyacht owners, captains, yacht and fleet managers, marine insurers and insurance brokers who need clearer evidence of onboard security, safety and operational controls.
Does Smeaton work when a yacht is offline?
Yes. Smeaton is designed for temporary loss of connectivity at sea, allowing assigned rounds and scan evidence to be queued locally and synchronised when the device reconnects.
What evidence can Smeaton provide for marine insurance and fleet risk review?
Smeaton can retain scheduled round data, crew responsibility, first-scan timing, NFC checkpoint attendance, missed and partial rounds, issue descriptions, photographs and other operational evidence for later review.
