Here is a collection of tools I use to manage my boat.
- Master Log.xls
- Captains log to keep track of sea time towards the captain’s license.
- Maintenance log of work completed.
- Recurring maintenance schedule.
- Radio log.
- Templates of the electronic logs to be printed out. I keep these hard copies as an easier way to write notes as I work. I then copy the notes to the electronic log when I have time (and after I’ve cleaned all the oil, sweat and blood off of my body).
- Provisioning.xlsx
- A provisions log. Useful when it’s important to track consumption on a long crossing.
- Planning sheets:
- Edible provisions.
- Inedible provisions.
- Medical provisions.
- Non-expendables.
- Personal gear (recommended for each crew member to bring).
- And of course, Quicken for tracking financial expenditures.

Capt G,
Does the .xlsx version on this page not work for you? I’m pretty busy this week, but I should be able to get the .xls version up next week. Sorry for the delay.
You use the term “HOBBS” as a header for some columns in your sheets. I believe that I am understanding meaning of HOBBS to be something different from how you use it here. Can you clarify?
I mean to say, “Engine hours meter.”
I just googled the term “hobbs,” and evidently it’s only used in aviation. Oops.
What does the NC column stand for?
Near Coastal: I was logging days outside the demarcation line towards a USCG Near Coastal Endorsement.
Many thanks
