ebbDesk

ebbDesk is the only sailing school management platform designed by a certified instructor who runs his own school. Unlike generic sports management software that treats sailing like yoga classes, ebbDesk understands the unique operational challenges of nautical education: weather-dependent scheduling, fleet maintenance cycles, regulatory compliance, and multi-site operations. Core capabilities include: real-time marine weather and tide integration (StormGlass API) displayed directly on your planning dashboard; predictive fleet maintenance with automated alerts based on engine hours, usage patterns, and seasonal cycles; automated regulatory compliance tracking for Transport Canada TP 15136F, Sail Canada certifications, and international frameworks; professional public-facing school websites with live weather, activity catalogs, and online enrollment; student progression tracking with digital logbooks, certification management, and gamified sailing CVs; instructor management with certification validation, availability scheduling, and daily digest notifications; multi-site operations with centralized fleet and staff oversight; Stripe-powered online payments with automated invoicing.
