## What is Yachtie?

Crew in every port.

Yachtie is the social network for yacht crew — wherever you dock, whoever you're sailing with. Built by crew, for crew, around how port life actually works.

SEE WHO'S AROUND
When you pull into port, open the map and find who's nearby. Old friends from last season, new faces on the dock next to you, crew you'd have missed otherwise. Get notified when a friend docks in your port.

KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TONIGHT
Hangouts show you the casual meet-ups crew are putting together in your port — beers after work, a beach day, a birthday round at the local bar. Join one, or start your own in thirty seconds.

STAY IN TOUCH ACROSS ROTATIONS
Message friends directly. Keep connections alive between seasons. Turn up in the same port at the same time on purpose, not by accident.

MEET CREW AT LOCAL SPOTS
See which bars, restaurants and spots crew actually go to in your port — and which ones are running a crew night or deal this week.

BUILT FOR CREW LIFE
Skip the twenty Facebook groups. Skip the WhatsApp chains from three boats ago. Everything crew-related in one place, designed around seasons, rotations and ports — not LinkedIn profiles.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Yachtie is built with unique privacy mechanisms so your location, your conversations and your network stay private to you and the people you trust. We're not here to sell your data — we're here to help you find your people.

FEATURES
• Friend Map — see which crew are in your port right now
• Proximity Notifications — get pinged when a friend pulls in
• Hangouts — casual meet-ups tonight and this week
• Events — crew nights at local bars and spots
• Direct Messages — stay connected between seasons
• Crew Profile — your yachting profile, not your LinkedIn

WHO IT'S FOR
Deckhands, stews, bosuns, engineers, mates, captains — all departments, all yacht sizes, all seasons. Whether you're on your first season or your tenth, whether you're in Antibes, Palma, Fort Lauderdale or a shipyard in the middle of nowhere.

A NOTE ON OPPORTUNITIES
Some of the best roles in yachting never reach agencies — they move inside crew circles first. Yachtie doesn't promise you a job. It helps you actually know the people who will hear about them.

Free. Forever. Built by crew who got tired of losing touch every time the season ended.
