Vaktos is the roster. MarRest records work and rest.

We built both. Vaktos handles roster planning, while MarRest records actual work and rest. When integration features are enabled, selected data can move between them.

Quick Answer

A MarRest-linked organization keeps crew, vessels, clock-ins, and rest hours in MarRest. Vaktos publishes the roster and can show the 24-hour rest indicator before publication. When punch sync is enabled and succeeds, Vaktos punches can flow into MarRest work logs. Shifts are not auto-blocked. Deputy iCal is still available when Vaktos is off.

In the products today: Linking is an organization setting using the same company id. Sync can pull crew and vessels. The 24-hour rest indicator can show on the Vaktos board before you publish. Clock-in, rest PDFs, account sign-off, sea service, and Deputy iCal belong in MarRest. When punch sync is enabled and succeeds, Vaktos kiosk or attendance punches can flow into MarRest work logs. Operators should verify synchronization rather than assume duplicate or missing entries are impossible. The Vaktos side of the same split is on vaktos.com/with-marrest.

On its own

Ferries, tour boats, and fishing vessels can run MarRest without Vaktos: clock-in, rest reports, what-if, sea service. Planned watches, if you have them, can come from a Deputy calendar URL.

In front of MarRest

  • Crew and vessel lists follow MarRest.
  • Vaktos publishes named watches into the MarRest calendar and Start card.
  • When punch sync is enabled, Vaktos kiosk, shop-door, or correction punches can be pulled into MarRest work logs; the resulting records should be verified.
  • Marketplace call-out and claim show in the MarRest app for that tenant.
  • Shifts are not auto-blocked because the 24-hour rest indicator is red.

Deputy is not the headline

Deputy iCal still works when Vaktos is off. Captains who already import Deputy shifts can keep doing that. New planning for linked organisations happens in Vaktos. The testimonial on the homepage still mentions Deputy because that is how some captains run today — not because Deputy is the only way in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Must every MarRest customer use Vaktos?

No. Many vessels clock in and keep rest reports without a separate roster product. Planned watches can also come from Deputy iCal.

Where do crew punch if Vaktos is linked?

Crew can clock in through MarRest. When the integration and punch sync are enabled, Vaktos punches from a kiosk, shop door, or attendance correction can be pulled into MarRest. Operators should still verify that synchronization completed and that duplicate or missing entries did not occur.

Is Vaktos a Watchkeeper alternative?

No. Vaktos is a named-shift planner. If you are comparing rest-hour systems, assess the workflows and verified product capabilities on the MarRest vs Watchkeeper page.
