Keep the boat full and the safety case airtight.
A small passenger vessel lives and dies by its drill record and its safety briefing — and a missed cycle is exactly what a Subchapter T inspection looks for. Binnacle schedules the required drills, logs the five-topic pre-departure brief, and keeps the lifesaving equipment inventory inspection-ready.
Crew credentials, the Certificate of Inspection, and digital passenger waivers all live in the same place, so the season runs on a system instead of a clipboard at the gangway.
