The sailing crew app: one list instead of 400 messages

In the crew's group chat every arrangement disappears after three days under photos and voice messages. In Crewsy it sits next to the thing it is about: the meal, the item, the receipt.

What the crew sorts out among themselves

Who brings what

On the “Shared” packing list everyone commits: “I'll bring 2”. Next to each item you see whether it's covered, missing or coming twice. That way the Bluetooth speaker comes once, not three times.

Who cooks which evening

Every dinner has a cooking team. The meal plan shows how many meals are still missing; evenings in the restaurant you simply leave out.

Who buys what

The shopping list comes from the meals, grouped by aisle in supermarket order. If you split up in the shop, everyone sees within seconds what the others already have in the trolley, and Crewsy remembers who it was.

Who paid for what

Whoever pays adds the expense with a photo of the receipt. Crewsy keeps the balances and shows at the end who transfers what to whom.

Who took the milk off the list

Every change to meals, lists, crew and expenses is in the history, with name and time. The question “Who was that?” answers itself.

Everyone in their own language

German or English: everyone on board sets their own language. A mixed crew sees the same list, each in their own language.

Skipper, co-skipper, crew

The skipper creates the trip and sends the invitations: each crew member gets their own link, valid for 14 days. Whoever opens it comes aboard with their own account or via quick access with a name and password. Invitations, trip info and tracks stay with the skipper; the role appears next to every name and on the sea miles confirmation.

Looking for crew? That's a different app

If you're still looking for crew or a berth, you'll find them on a crew-finding site. Crewsy starts afterwards, once the crew is set and the questions begin: who brings the coffee maker, who cooks on Tuesday, who paid the harbour fees.

Questions about the crew app

Does everyone in the crew need an account?
The skipper enters the crew by name. If there is an email address, the invitation goes out by email and the crew member sets their own password. Without an address the link is enough: quick access with a name and password.
Does the crew pay anything?
No. Only whoever creates trips needs the skipper subscription or the single trip after the 14-day trial. Anyone who is invited uses Crewsy without a subscription and without payment details. The kitty and the packing list cost the skipper nothing either.
Does the crew see everything?
Meals, shopping list, drinks, packing list and kitty are visible to everyone. The trip info with contract and insurance is only visible to the skipper.
Is there a free-form to-do list?
No. In Crewsy every task is attached to a thing: the cooking team to the meal, the commitment to the item, the tick to the ingredient, the split to the receipt. Anything else that needs doing you add as your own line on the “Shared” packing list; the commitment next to it says who takes it on.
Do I need an app from the store?
No. Crewsy runs in the browser on any phone and opens full screen from the home screen like an app. It needs an internet connection, on marina Wi-Fi or mobile data.
