How Starboard Card Is Transforming Superyacht Expense Management

By Sophia Spanton

Beyond the horizon of traditional yacht accounting lies Starboard Card, a groundbreaking tool redefining how superyachts manage their money. Forget the days of cash-stuffed envelopes and crumpled receipts. This is financial management, reimagined.

For Dan Lane, Starboard Card’s visionary CEO, the challenges of onboard expense management were clear as day. Combining his passion for sailing with a background in cutting-edge technology, Lane set out to create something extraordinary: a platform that doesn’t just manage expenses but transforms them into an art form.

The result? Starboard Card: a sleek, intuitive system designed for the unique demands of life at sea. At its core, Starboard Card integrates three essential components: the Visa Infinite Debit Card, dynamic multi-currency accounts, and tailored yachting-specific software. This powerful combination empowers crew members with access to funds while keeping captains, owners and yacht managers firmly in control. It effortlessly navigates between multiple currencies, because yachting knows no borders, and turns financial chaos into clarity with tools that track expenses and generate APA reports in seconds.

But what truly sets Starboard apart is its soul. Behind the tech lies a team that understands yachting inside and out. Former crew members bring firsthand experience to the table, ensuring every feature feels like second nature to those who live and work on the water. Add to this a 24/7 global support network with dedicated relationship managers who know your yacht by name, not just by account number, and you have a service as personal as it is powerful.

In an industry where boundaries are constantly pushed, why should expense management be any different? Starboard Card is more than a tool; it’s a statement and a commitment to excellence that matches the ambition of the yachts it serves.

So here’s to leaving behind the old ways and embracing something new. With Starboard Card, onboard accounting isn’t just easier; it’s smarter, sleeker, and undeniably better. 

The wait is almost over. Launching soon to chart a new course in managing expenses and financial freedom - Starboard Card doesn’t just simplify; it elevates.
