The platform
One platform for the yachting industry.
Marine services, repairs, crew, jobs and yachts for sale or charter, listed by the people who do the work. Free to use, Pro to publish and hire, and Seava never takes a cut of a job.
The platform
Five sections. One place.
Every listing reads like a vessel's data plate: the facts in a ledger, the person behind it one message away. Here is the product as it is built.
Screens show demonstration listings on Seava's test environment. The people, companies and figures in them are not real users.
How Seava operates
The figures that never change.
Free to use, Pro to publish and hire. Seava sells access to its own software and nothing else, so a partner, a sponsor or an investor can read the whole model off a plate.

What the platform does
Built like an instrument, not a brochure.
Free to browse, message providers and sellers, book services, post repair requests, compare quotes and apply to jobs. Pro, at £29 a month or £228 a year with VAT added where it applies, publishes unlimited listings, quotes on repairs, contacts crew and carries the ID Verified badge.
In the product
- Search by place and radius."Within 50 km of Antibes", on a map or a grid, with multi-select filters on every grid: category, role, certificates, listing type, condition.
- Listings read like a data plate.A ledger of key facts and a sticky action rail on every detail page. Save, share, print, or export a PDF sheet with a QR code.
- Real-time messaging.Attachments, per-person blocking and reporting. Messaging providers and sellers is free; contacting crew is part of Pro.
- Booking requests carry no payment.The provider confirms or declines. Seava never holds money.
- Repair requests and quotes.Posting is free on any plan; quoting is part of Pro. The owner accepts one quote, and stale requests expire on their own.
- Reviews only after real work.A provider can be reviewed only after a completed booking or an accepted quote, and can reply. Crew are never reviewable.
- Verification is a signal, not a gate.Contact verified by a phone code; ID Verified by Stripe Identity, the profile name matched. Seava stores the fact of the match, never the document.
- Account security.Email verification, Google sign-in, passkeys, an authenticator app (TOTP), one-time codes, recovery codes, and step-up before every change to how you sign in.
- Privacy by design.Self-service data export and deletion with a 14-day cooling-off, consent recorded per policy version, published retention periods.
- Installable as an app.A progressive web app on phone and desktop, with browser push notifications.
- Prices in EUR, GBP or USD.Chosen by location, with a manual override.

Screens show demonstration listings and accounts on Seava's test environment. The people, companies and figures in them are not real users.
Seava Bunkering
Free fuel planning, on the bridge, every day.
Passage fuel from the yacht's own burn curve, a bunkering ledger, expenses and charter APA, and PDF, Excel and CSV reports. No account, no tracking, data stays on the device. A planning aid: the master decides.
It puts the Seava name in front of the captains, engineers and managers who hire through Seava, for free, from day one.
What Seava is, and what it never does
The rules that make the audience trust what sits beside the results.
- Ranking is never for sale.No payment, plan or badge changes where a listing falls. The ranking rules are published in the Terms.
- Seava holds no money.Booking requests carry no payment. Users pay each other directly. Seava takes no commission and is never party to the contract.
- Seafarers never pay.Profiles, applications and replies are free for crew, in line with MLC 2006, and enforced in the product. Employers pay to contact crew; crew pay nothing to be contacted.
- Verification is a signal, not a gate."Contact verified" means a phone number was confirmed; "ID Verified" means an identity document matched the name. Seava does not vouch for anyone's work.
- Adverts are always labelled.Every placement says "Advertisement" or "Sponsored" and never looks like a result.
- Seava is a platform.It sells access to its own software: listings, search and messaging. Nothing is brokered, and no deal passes through it.

Roadmap
What comes next.
The platform and Bunkering are the foundation. Three steps follow, each built on the same accounts, the same design and the same rules.
- NowThe platform and Seava BunkeringFive sections, free messaging, published ranking rules, and a free fuel workspace on the bridge.
- Within three monthsSeava apps for iPhone and AndroidThe platform as a native app on both stores: the same account, listings and messages, with notifications that reach the bridge and the quay.
- Within six monthsSeava SonarSaved searches that watch the platform for you: the right engineer arriving in your port, a berth that matches your certificates, a yacht in your bracket. The work comes to the person instead of the other way round.
- Within a yearSeava HarbourYacht and crew management for crewed 24 to 60 metre yachts: maintenance, inventory, documents, crew records and budgets, always inspection-ready, with the same Seava sign-in.
Planned sequence, not a promise of dates. Partners and sponsors are told first when each step goes live.
