25 Years of Superyacht Management Excellence

Snag List

IDEA Snag List helps crew capture, track, and resolve issues quickly, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks during day‑to‑day operations. It centralises every technical or interior snag in one organised workflow, improving visibility across departments and speeding up resolution so the yacht stays safe, efficient, and guest‑ready at all times. By giving crew a simple, structured way to log problems and monitor progress, it strengthens operational reliability and keeps teams focused on delivering a seamless onboard experience.

Streamlined Snag Management Made Simple

IDEA Snag List gives crew a fast, structured way to log and manage issues, ensuring nothing is overlooked and every task moves smoothly toward resolution. By centralising snags in customisable workflows, it increases accountability, shortens turnaround times, and keeps the yacht operating at its best even under pressure. And because every item is tracked, prioritised, and visible to the whole team, crew can stay proactive rather than reactive, protecting the guest experience and maintaining operational reliability.

Total Oversight of Onboard Issues

Proactively managing issues through IDEA Snag List is one of the most effective ways to preserve a yacht’s operational and asset value. By consolidating all faults, works, and repair requirements into a single structured system – complete with documents, notes, images, videos, and precise GA‑based location tagging – crews can ensure problems are identified early and resolved correctly, preventing small defects from escalating into expensive long‑term damage.

Its integration with the vessel database and ability to link snags directly to components, tasks, and historical repairs provides a clear maintenance lineage, helping owners and managers understand what’s been fixed, what’s recurring, and where preventative action is needed to protect the yacht’s value over time

A Vital Refit and New Build Tool

Using IDEA Snag List during refit and new build projects gives shipyards, captains, and project managers a structured, transparent way to identify, track, and resolve defects from the earliest construction stages through to final handover. With features like pinning snags directly onto the General Arrangement, attaching documents, notes, images and videos, and applying custom workflows such as Refit or Warranty, teams can maintain a precise, visual record of every outstanding item – greatly reducing confusion and ensuring accountability across departments and contractors. 

Its full integration with the vessel database and the ability to link snags to components or tasks also help streamline warranty management, making it easier to reference past issues, verify completed work, and maintain long‑term asset value

Log Snags On The Move

Snagging on the move becomes far easier with IDEA’s mobile and cloud capabilities, giving crew the freedom to document issues anywhere onboard. While the Snag List itself is designed to ensure no issue is ever missed or forgotten, the IDEA mobile app supports key operational tasks on smartphones—including capturing photos with the device camera and adding them directly to maintenance history—making it simple to record problems the moment they’re spotted and keep information flowing even when working away from a workstation.
Snag List brings structure and accountability to onboard issue management by centralising all logged problems into one transparent workflow, crews can track, prioritise, and resolve tasks faster while keeping the yacht operating smoothly. This unified approach ensures nothing slips through the cracks and every snag receives the attention it needs, supporting a safer, more efficient vessel with clearer communication across departments
