About us

Built by people who work on the water.

NaviGate started because keeping a vessel in survey shouldn't depend on someone remembering a date. We build the system we'd want to use ourselves: plain, quick, and reliable when it counts.

It began in Christchurch, New Zealand. Today it looks after compliance for operators from single-vessel charters to award-winning tourism fleets, wherever they sail.

Safety first, always
Compliance isn't paperwork for its own sake. It's what brings crew home.
Plain and practical
If a skipper can't use it one-handed on a wet wharf, it isn't finished.
A real person answers
Direct support from the people who build it. No ticket queue.
