Story Behind

Being the avid fans of yachting, our clients are used to spending lots of time afloat. That’s when they felt the lack of specialized service for sea travelers. At that time they had to use multiple apps and websites to prepare for the next trip: check the forecast, find restaurants nearby, discover fuel prices, etc. That's how the idea was born - to collect all required information for sea travellers into one service: Sea Guide.
Sea - for marine, Guide - for wanderer.

Do you already hear the sound of the surf?

Welcome to the ratings-based and crowd-sourced local guide to everything on the water!

The first thing you see is a large map showing your current location. You can start exploring the nearby marine locations right away- which is actually the main idea of the project.

We brought the "pin" option to the first screen in order to encourage users to expand the database of useful places, businesses, locations and yachts.

We also added the EXPLORE-DISCOVER-SHARE section where you can read the latest news and experiences from the Sea Guide Tribe.
