Who we are
YachtCloud was founded in 2014 in Rotterdam, out of a simple frustration: technology on board should be easy, seamless, and practical, built to empower the crew and staff delivering the experience, not replace them. Over a decade later, that idea has grown into a suite of six connected products, used on yachts, in luxury residences, and across corporate and hospitality spaces around the world, supported by a network of trusted dealers and integrators wherever our clients are.
We’re a small, focused team, engineers and specialists who understand both the technology and the environment it operates in, from what a captain needs on a rough crossing to what a guest expects to feel invisible.
What we do
We build six products that work standalone or together as one connected suite:
- GEST: a luxury service call system that lets guests reach crew discreetly, from a physical button or the GEST Connect app.
- OMNIYON: a media and comfort control system bringing entertainment, lighting, climate and automation into one interface.
- ECHO: network access management that keeps guest, crew, and owner networks secure and properly separated.
- CrewBoard: real-time crew and visitor management, built for how a yacht actually operates, online or offline.
- YIS: a guest-facing information system with real-time vessel data, itinerary tracking, and onboard media.
- LaundryBoard: laundry tracking built for the precision a superyacht interior department needs.
Each product solves a specific problem on its own. Together, they form one connected system, built by people who understand this industry, not adapting one built for somewhere else.
How our products came to life
Every product started the same way: we saw a real gap on board, and built the solution ourselves.
GEST came from a simple observation, there was no service call button that was both genuinely luxurious and discreet enough to blend into a high-end interior. Every option felt like an add-on, not part of the design.
OMNIYON was built so that an ETO or Chief Engineer could make changes to the system themselves, no codes, no waiting on a technician for a small adjustment underway. OMNIYON stands OMNI for everywhere, Y for you, ON for always on.
LaundryBoard came directly from a conversation with a Chief Stew, who was looking for a better way to track laundry on board than a notebook and memory.
That’s still how we build: talk to the people actually doing the work, find the gap, and build the product that closes it, less, because true luxury is simplicity perfected.
Our vision
o be the leading software company, innovating technology for luxury and redefining the onboard experience, for the owners and guests living it, and the crew delivering it.
What we want to achieve
We build software that empowers the people delivering the experience (crew, staff, and management) rather than replacing them. That’s not a marketing line; it’s the reason YachtCloud exists in the first place. Good technology on board should mean a captain has one less thing to worry about, a guest never has to ask twice, and a crew member spends less time on admin and more time doing the work that actually matters.
Our values
Innovation
We keep building, not for its own sake, but because the needs of yachts, crews, and guests keep changing, and our products should keep pace with them.
Adaptability
Every yacht, property, and team is different. Our products are built to adapt to how you already work, not the other way around.
Trust
Reliability, discretion, and doing what we say we’ll do, in every interaction, and over the long term. This industry runs on relationships, and we take that seriously.
