For crews

  • You can browse the ads on the platform and filter according to your criteria (dates, destination, type of yacht, etc.). Once you've found the ideal crossing, simply apply and talk to the skipper.

  • The contribution depends on the skipper and the type of crossing. Some ask only for a contribution to costs (food, fuel, ports), while others may offer a fee depending on the services included.

  • Not necessarily! Some skippers accept beginners, while others are looking for more experienced crew. Each advert indicates the level required.

  • Skippers are verified and evaluated by the community. You can consult the reviews of previous passengers and ask any questions you may have before embarking.

  • Each skipper can specify a list, but in general: suitable clothing, sunglasses, sun cream, soft bag (no hard case), and possibly a comforter.

For skippers

  • All you have to do is create an advert, indicating the details of the crossing (itinerary, dates, requested contribution, level required, etc.). You can then contact interested passengers.
