How to Delete your or a shared Boat

You may delete your own boat as well as a boat shared with you from another user.

Own boat deletion

  1. Click the “Details” button on the boat-card

  1. Click the three-dots button and then select “Delete”

  1. Your boat and all associated records (e.g. inventory, tasks, alerts, documents, etc) will be permanently deleted from your account and all associated data will be irrevocably removed from the database. If you wish to export any data for your own records or transfer any data to other user(s), you have to make sure to do so prior to proceeding with your boat deletion. Should you wish in the future to add a new boat, you should add her anew and likewise re-enter/import any related data. If you acknowledge this, confirm by clicking the “Delete boat” button


Shared boat deletion (i.e. shared by another user with you)

Similarly, as above. You will lose access on this boat and all associated records (e.g. inventory, tasks, alerts, documents, etc). The boat data will remain intact in the database and the boat owner will still have full access on them. Should you wish to regain access, you should contact the boat owner to share the boat anew with you.
  1. Logbook: any logbook trips records will still remain available in your account
