Testimonials

What our users say

Real experiences, real connections — see why users love Sailors Bay for staying connected effortlessly.

Needed an extra hand for an overnight passage to Malta. Found an experienced crew-mate in minutes, complete with logged miles and references.

KarolinaGood Deeds

The location-aware listings and chat mean I can arrange to meet and collect a part before my ETA. Gives such peace of mind.

FrankieMV Haven

I list my services on Sailorsbay as I travel — anode swaps, prop removals, hull cleaning, you name it. Saves skippers a haul-out, and I get steady work from boaters nearby. Everyone wins.

LeeTravelling Dive Tech

I love that I can post no longer needed parts instead of binning them. Trading locally with other boaters keeps my old spares from cluttering up my boat.

MiaSputnik

Met a roving marine electrician through the app — he rewired our solar array while cruising the same route. Best money we’ve spent all season.

RalphWild Blue

While in Harbour Towne Marina, I managed to buy a starter motor, water pump and alternator from another boat that had replaced their Yanmar with a Beta. Easy exchange.
