To date, over 100 yachts between 25m-120m and numerous management agencies have chosen Deep Blue.
“Deep Blue 3.1 was included at the start of construction while we were still at shipyard,”says Sebastien Filippi, captain of the 60m Amels M/Y Madame Kate. “We’ve been using Deep Blue for three years and I’m convinced by all the modules of this yacht management software. We can use one interface to control all critical maintenance and procedures, to monitor the Yacht detailed budgets and daily accountings, but also stay alerted of any important issues. It clearly saves us valuable time and paperwork. I wouldn’t be able any more to operate such a Yacht with 18 crew members without Deep Blue, which made us work in a much more professional way.”
