Deposit and extra-charge protection — free
Check-in and return protocol — so you do not lose money
Checklist, photos, and a record at check-in and return — you keep the documentation, not just the charter company.
No credit card. Check-in and return protocols are free for now.
Why people lose money on charter
Not because they damaged the boat. Because they had no proof.
- 1 Charges for damage, consumables, or services with no receipt, confirmation, or your signature
- 2 At check-in you photographed and wrote down nothing — the charter company has the only record, and it is theirs
- 3 With a KeelTruth protocol you have the same proof they do: photos, checklist, and timestamps for check-in and return

Read FAQHow it works
From marina handover to return — four steps, one record.
1
Check-in protocol at the marina
Step-by-step checklist at pickup: hull, deck, interior, equipment. Add photos and notes for each item while still in the marina.
2
During the charter you have a record
The boat's condition at check-in is saved with time and photos. If something new appears during the trip, you have a baseline for return.
3
Return protocol at drop-off
The same process when you return the boat — compare condition to check-in. You and the charter company both have a record, not just them.
4
When they charge without a legitimate claim
If they bill damage, consumables, or extras, you have photographic and written evidence.
