Starboard Card

Starboard is a financial platform developed specifically for yacht onboard expense management. The system provides owners, captains, and managers with digital tools to control funds, budgeting, and reporting through a specialized mobile app and web interface.

The company issues business accounts with VISA Infinite® Debit Cards in two different colors to distinguish between charter and yacht accounts. These cards are designed without pre-authorization restrictions, allowing the crew to handle travel logistics such as car rentals and hotel bookings without typical debit card limitations.

Included with the service are e-money accounts in GBP and EUR, supporting SEPA and Faster Payments for global bank transfers. The platform also offers foreign exchange services with competitive pricing for transferring funds between different currencies within the Starboard ecosystem.

The software features a dedicated Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) management system for streamlined reporting and end-of-charter reconciliation. It also includes budgeting tools for tracking daily expenses or managing larger financial projects, such as yacht refits and new builds.

Starboard Card integrates with third-party accounting systems, allowing users to collate quotes and invoices for approval and export data in multiple formats. The company provides 24/7/365 technical support and assigns a dedicated Relationship Manager specializing in yacht accounting to each account.
