CleatCrew is the all-in-one management app for boat co-owners. If you share a boat with partners, family, or friends, CleatCrew replaces the endless group texts, spreadsheets, and awkward money conversations with a single platform built for how co-ownership actually works. SCHEDULING MADE SIMPLE See who has the boat and when. Request days, manage conflicts, and keep everyone on the same page with a shared calendar that updates in real time. SPLIT EXPENSES FAIRLY Fuel, slip fees, repairs, insurance — track every cost and split it automatically. No more chasing payments or arguing over who owes what. MAINTENANCE LOGGING Keep a complete service history for your vessel. Log maintenance tasks, set reminders, and upload photos so every co-owner knows exactly what's been done and what's coming up. CO-OWNER COMMUNICATION Dedicated messaging for your ownership group. Important updates stay organized and searchable — not buried in a text thread. FIND MARINE SERVICES Browse a directory of verified marine merchants including repair yards, marinas, surveyors, insurance providers, and maritime attorneys. Get connected to the right service provider when you need one. BUILT FOR CO-OWNERSHIP Unlike generic boating apps, CleatCrew is purpose-built for shared ownership. Every feature is designed around the unique challenges of managing a boat with multiple owners — from fair scheduling to transparent finances. Whether you co-own a sailboat in San Diego or a center console in Newport Beach, CleatCrew gives your ownership group the tools to enjoy the boat and skip the headaches. Download CleatCrew and take the stress out of shared boat ownership.
