BelowDeck — Offline-first sailing trip communication
Offline-first maritime comms

Always-on, even beyond the horizon

Push itineraries & updates to guests without internet.

No internet needed onboard. For charter operators & yacht crews.

The challenge

Lost at sea without a signal

Multi-day sailing operators struggle to share critical updates, itineraries, and safety info when guests are offshore. Crews face repetitive questions, confusion, and frustration.

Missed itinerary changes

Guests miss schedule updates when anchorages shift due to weather.

WhatsApp chaos

Group chats bury critical info in endless messages.

No offline fallback

Paper printouts get lost, and PDFs won't load without data.
