One trip, one crew, one shared logbook

In SeaMemo the whole crew sails in the same trip. The skipper invites by link, for example via WhatsApp or email. After that everyone can add photos and journal entries, everyone can track, and in the end everyone has the shared memories and their sea miles in their own profile.

How your crew comes aboard

  1. The skipper creates the trip with name, sailing area and yacht.
  2. They tap invite and send the link via WhatsApp, email or any messenger.
  3. Whoever opens the link sees the trip, the skipper and how many are already aboard, and taps Come aboard.

The shared trip with its crew, and the same trip in everyone's memories.

What the crew shares

  • One shared travel journal: everyone's photos and entries land in the same trip, sorted by leg.
  • Shared checklists: provisions, gear, casting off. Everyone can edit and tick off.
  • The route: everyone aboard can track. If one phone dies, another keeps recording.
  • The memories afterwards: the trip stays in every profile, even if you only see each other again on the next trip.

Sea miles for everyone aboard

On training and mile building trips, everyone aboard needs proof. Instead of the skipper filling in six forms by hand on the last evening, they confirm the legs once in SeaMemo. Each crew member then creates their own certificate. If the skipper is missing details, the crew can nudge them in the app.

Privacy within the crew: your statistics are only visible to friends and crew members. Only you see your position, unless you deliberately share it via the friends radar.

After the trip

Once everyone's pictures are in the trip, a shared keepsake is only a few taps away: with the photo book every crew member gets a printed copy, with a volume discount.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invite my crew?

In the trip, tap invite and share the link, for example via WhatsApp or email. Anyone who opens the link and has SeaMemo joins the trip with one tap on Come aboard.

Can I be in several trips at once?

In several completed trips, yes, but only ever in one active trip. If you are in an active trip, end or leave it before joining a new one.

Does everyone in the crew get their own sea miles?

Yes. At the end the skipper confirms who was on board for which legs. Those miles appear in each crew member's profile and can be used for the sea miles certificate.

Can I state my role on board?

Yes, per leg, for example helmsman, watch leader, navigator or a role of your own. That helps later with certificates where your role on board matters.
