For captains, instructors, and sailing schools
Leave the rest to SkipperSync
Before departure
Set the date, invite your crew, attach required documents, and define deposits — all from one screen. Your crew receives a structured invitation the moment you publish.
Coordination
Crew members receive an invitation, complete onboarding in the app, submit their documents, and arrive prepared — before they step on the boat.
Operations
Support tasks stay visible and structured while the captain stays focused on the boat, the crew, and the session.
Visibility
Progress, observations, and next steps stay tracked in real time instead of living in memory.
Follow-up
The trip does not end in scattered messages. Communication and return-ready structure carry forward automatically.
Continuity
Returning students, documents, and progress history are already connected when the next charter begins.
Available on
SkipperSync is built for mobile — available on iOS and Android so captains and crew stay connected from the marina to the open water.

Why We Are Building This
The product is designed for sailing schools, charter instructors, and first-wave skippers who need the same current state across planning, teaching, and review.
Our mission is to establish a single, transparent culture around sailing — one where every newcomer who steps on a boat receives a structured, safe, and dignified experience, regardless of which captain or school they sailed with.
In five to ten years, SkipperSync is the single global standard point of contact for every captain practicing the learning process, organising charters, or hosting regattas worldwide. Not the biggest app. The most trusted one.
Every captain knows the feeling. Crew chasing, paperwork scattered, no shared tools — and a first sailing experience that could have been extraordinary.
I'm a great sailor. But being a great sailor doesn't make me a teacher, an entertainer, and an accountant at the same time.
No structured way to assign learning materials, track quiz results, or sign off on practical skills. Every captain reinvents the wheel with paper and verbal instructions — every time.
I have eight captains and I genuinely have no idea what any of their students are experiencing or learning after the course.
Student progress, charter outcomes, and skill sign-offs are trapped in individual captain notes — if they exist at all. Schools are flying blind.
I know how to sail. Explaining it to six friends who've never been on a boat while also navigating — that's the hard part.
A disorganised onboarding experience destroys the trip before it starts. Crew arrive at the marina unprepared, anxious, and without context — and the skipper spends the first day on logistics, not sailing.
Built for both audiences
Skipper Sync gives instructors one operating layer for charter setup, learning material distribution, skill tracking, and debrief quality.
Newcomer skippers get a precise view of what is already learned, what is still unstable, and what the next charter requires.
