SAILUP NOW

For organizers

Have open berths? Bring a crew aboard.

Any logged-in user can list an open berth, sailing vacation, training session or course, yacht delivery, or cost-sharing trip. Publishing is free — you can also save your listing as a draft and publish it later.

Open berth

Fill the open spots on your yacht. SailUp Now holds each participant's payment securely and releases it to you after the trip.

Sailing vacations

For organizers and agencies: sell spots with a deposit (a percentage or fixed amount) paid to you right away. Duplicate the same trips for different dates with one click.

Training and courses

Teaching a sailing certification course or refresher course? Participants book a spot with a deposit paid to you right away, and you settle the balance directly.

Yacht deliveries

Delivering a boat for a client? List a yacht delivery with pickup and delivery ports. Bookings require a deposit, just like sailing vacations.

Cost-sharing trips

Sailing without making a profit? Spots cost $0, and you split marina fees, fuel, and food costs with the crew during the trip.

Reliable payments

Crew members pay up front through Stripe (card, BLIK). Funds are automatically transferred to your bank account — no invoices or manual transfers.

No-show protection

Spots are held only while payment is being completed. Unpaid bookings are automatically released.

Everything in one dashboard

Manage active trips, drafts, customer bookings, your calendar, boats, revenue, and payouts in the Organizer Dashboard. Participants can cancel for free within 14 days of payment (no later than 7 days before the trip) — their spots then become available for booking again.

Build your reputation

After the trip, participants rate the skipper, boat, and trip separately — great reviews attract more crew members.

How payments work

  1. 01

    Connect your bank account once in the Organizer Dashboard → Payouts (about 5 minutes). Participants pay through Stripe — you'll see their bookings marked as paid.

  2. 02

    Sailing vacations, training/courses, and yacht deliveries: the deposit is automatically transferred to your account as soon as it's paid. You handle the remaining balance and any complaints directly with the participant.

  3. 03

    Open berths: funds are automatically transferred to your account after the trip if the participant does not report a problem within 48 hours — problem reporting applies only to open berths. You receive the full agreed price.
