Why become a skipper?
Share the Cost of Cruises
Share free spaces on your yacht and invite crew members to sail with you. You can run cost-sharing cruises or, if you are a professional, you can also publish commercial cruises.
Meet People
Meet sailing enthusiasts and create your own crews. The platform connects people who want to sail together — regardless of the type of cruise.
Complete Freedom
You choose the route, dates, and how the trip will be carried out. When adding an ad, you decide whether you are organizing a cost-sharing trip or a commercial trip.
Platform Support
You get tools for communication, profile verification, posting ads, and managing applications — for both private and commercial cruises.
SkipperSkip allows skippers to share their passion for sailing and invite others to join them on trips — both on a cost-sharing basis and in the form of commercial cruises, if the skipper runs a business. Our skippers value complete flexibility: they choose the routes themselves, set the dates, and define the rules for sharing costs or the rules for commercial cruises.
With SkipperSkip, you can manage your profile, publish ads, and build a community around sailing trips. Each ad is an opportunity to meet new people who love the sea as much as you do — regardless of the type of trip you organize.
