The problem

Every skipper knows the spreadsheet updates, emails, texts, and calls to secure crew.

"Who's racing Saturday?" Sent to a group chat, answered by half the crew, forgotten by the rest.

Roster management for a club racing program runs on memory, scattered texts, and a spreadsheet nobody keeps current. Crew double-book. The boat shows up a person short. The skipper spends race week chasing replies instead of preparing the boat.

Proteus Crew replaces all of it with one shared, always-current picture of who's aboard for which race or practice. Owned by the program, accessible to the whole crew.

What it does

Built for the way a racing program actually runs.

Races and practices

Load your club's race calendar in one tap, add your own practices, and prune the events you're not doing. Dock call moved? Edit the race and every RSVP stays put.

One-tap availability

Crew mark themselves In, Maybe, or Out in seconds, from their phone. No account, no app store — each crew member gets a personal link that remembers them, and it works as a Home Screen icon that opens straight to their races.

Skipper dashboard

See the boat fill in real time across the whole season. Know at a glance whether you've got a full crew, or need to make a call.

Race-day reminders

Two kinds, both automatic: a nudge a couple days out to anyone who hasn't answered, and a race-morning email to confirmed crew with the day's times. Push and SMS on the roadmap. No chasing required.

Works at the dock

No signal at the marina? Your roster still loads. Proteus Crew keeps the latest picture on-device so it's there when you need it.

Crew privacy by default

Crew can pick a handle other crew see. Your real roster stays just between you and the boat.

See it in action

Both ends of the experience, working in sync.

Skipper sees the whole season fill up at a glance. Crew see the races, who's aboard, and their own status — on their phone, with no account. Both sides update in real time.

Skipper dashboard
Tap into any race to see who's in, who's out, and who hasn't replied, with their chosen handle next to their real name, so you always know who's actually on the boat. Per-boat accent color (red here for Red Baron) skins the whole UI.

Who's aboard
Crew see the whole lineup for every race — who's in, who's waitlisted and where in line, all by chosen handles. The crew answers their own questions instead of texting the skipper.
Feature spotlight

You set the crew size. We handle the rest.

Set your boat's default capacity, then adjust any single race — a dozen spots for a distance race, six for a Wednesday night. Proteus Crew enforces the limit, manages the waitlist in fair queue order, and promotes crew automatically when spots open.

How it works

From scattered texts to a settled crew in three steps.

Set up your boat

Add your program: boat name, sail number, home club, and your season's race + practice calendar. Two minutes, once.

Invite your crew

Share one invite link. Crew open it, mark their availability, and each automatically gets a personal link that remembers them from then on. No accounts to manage.

Run the season

Watch the roster fill from your dashboard and head to the start line knowing exactly who's aboard.

Questions

FAQ

Do my crew need to install anything?

No. Crew get a shareable link, tap it, type their name, and start RSVPing. The full app works in any modern mobile browser. No install, no app store.

Tip: once aboard, each crew member has their own personal link — adding it to the Home Screen (the app will offer) gives them a one-tap icon that opens straight to their races, no asking the skipper for the link again.

What if I race in more than one club's series?

You can add any race to your season calendar. And any practice session too. Build the calendar that matches your boat's program.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The race list, crew list, and RSVPs are cached on device. Open it at the dock with no signal. Everything is still there. Changes you make sync back when you're online again.

Can crew see each other's RSVPs?

Yes, within your boat program. Other boats cannot see your crew or your RSVPs. Strict data isolation between programs at the database level.

What about my privacy?

We do not sell data. We do not run ads. We do not track you across apps. Crew can choose a handle other crew see, so their real name stays just between them and the skipper. See our Privacy Policy for the specifics.

What's the refund policy?

14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Just email billing@proteus-marine-intelligence.com. After 14 days, subscriptions are non-refundable for the current term, but you can cancel anytime and keep access through the season you paid for. Full details in our Refund Policy.

Is there an iOS app?

Not yet. Proteus Crew runs as a Progressive Web App, which works on iOS, Android, and desktop. You can add it to your home screen for a native-feel experience. A wrapped iOS App Store release may follow later.

About

Marine software, built on the water. Not in a boardroom.

Proteus Marine Intelligence Systems builds tools that make running a boat simpler. We're a Maryland company sailing out of the Chesapeake, and we build the software we wished we had on our own boats.

Proteus Crew is our first product. It's the start of a broader family of marine intelligence tools. It stands on its own, and it does one thing exceptionally well: it gets your crew squared away.
