How paying works

Fees come out of a prepaid balance in the app, called your wallet. The balance is held in CRT, the app's credits, and one CRT is one US dollar. Top up once and spend it as you go.

Minimum top-up$25 (25 CRT)
Subscriptions or monthly feesNone

Top-ups are one-way. CRT can't be exchanged back into any currency or used outside of Verified Sailor. Learn more about your wallet and verification types.

What it looks like in practice

An afternoon sail with a buddy

You sail for the afternoon and log 5 hours and 15 nm. Your buddy crewed and already has a verified account. Back at the dock you add the entry and ask them to verify it.

Total: $1

A 10-day charter in the Virgin Islands

You and your family charter a 45′ catamaran for 10 days, including a full-moon night sail. When you get home you log the trip and choose charter company verification. We confirm it with the charter company.

Total: $9

A new ASA 104 certification

You complete Bareboat Cruising with a certified ASA instructor and log the new certification. We verify it with ASA directly.

Total: Free. Qualifying certifications and licenses are always complimentary
