Why Crew the Boat?
Building a verifiable sailing record has been difficult: scattered logbooks, lost certificates, and no structured way to prove your experience. Crew the Boat solves this with a modern approach: a comprehensive Sailing CV that grows with every passage, paired with endorsements from sailors you've worked with. Here's what makes us different:
Worldwide sailing community
Connect with sailors from every ocean and build your reputation across the global sailing community.
Sailing CVs with proof
Every sailor brings logged miles, roles, uploads, and skipper endorsements; you know who's stepping aboard.
Moderated & safe
Human moderators review every opportunity, flag sketchy wording, and surface safety guidance for new pairings.
Built by sailors, for sailors
Crew the Boat is run by Katy & Mark - building the safe tool we wanted. No ads, no commissions, just community.
