Know your boat
before you sail.
CharterWise is the community app where charterers share real pick-up reports, flag issues, and score the condition of every boat — so you arrive prepared, not surprised.

The problem
You've arrived to a boat that wasn't ready.
We've all been there.
You book months in advance. You pack carefully. You brief the crew. Then you arrive at the marina and discover the engine cuts out above 2,000 rpm, the port head is blocked, and the main sail track is seized — none of which was mentioned in any listing.
Charter companies have every incentive to minimise reported issues. Listing photos are taken once. Reviews on booking platforms rate the holiday, not the boat.
CharterWise is built specifically for the handover moment: the pick-up report, filed by the sailor who just stepped off.
How it works
The charter journey, finally tracked.
Plan
Browse boats and check condition scores and reviews from fellow charterers before you book. Filter by hull type, region, and issue count.
Pick-up Report
At handover, walk through 6 categories — rigging, engine, electronics, safety, hull, interior. Flag issues, attach photos, and your report immediately updates the boat's live condition score.
Review
At the end of your charter, leave a structured review with category ratings. Issues that persisted carry forward to the next sailor automatically.
Features
Built for sailors, by sailors.
Condition Score
A live health score for every boat.
Every pick-up report contributes to a severity-weighted condition score. Safety issues weigh more than cosmetic ones. The score updates as new reports come in — so a boat that's been repaired recovers its rating automatically.

Pick-up Report
The handover inspection, digitised.
File your inspection before you leave the dock. Walk through six categories, flag what you find, and attach photos directly to each issue. Your report is timestamped, attached to the boat's permanent record, and visible to the next charterer.
Reviews
Reviews that actually cover what matters.
Category ratings for sails, engine, navigation gear, safety equipment, and interior — not just a vibe score. Review items flag specific positives and persistent issues. Photos attached to the systems that matter, not just the sunset from the cockpit.

FAQ
Common questions
Is CharterWise free? ▾
Yes — completely free during beta. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
What boats are in the database? ▾
Primarily Mediterranean and Adriatic — Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Italy. Coverage grows with every pick-up report filed.
How do I know reports are real? ▾
Pick-up reports are time-gated to your charter window — you can only file one within a day of your charter start date. Each report is tied to a verified charter plan.
I'm a charter company — is this bad for my fleet? ▾
Only if your fleet isn't maintained. Companies with well-kept boats will be rewarded in the data. Issues that get fixed improve the condition score immediately.
When is Android available? ▾
Soon. Sign up for the waitlist above and you'll be the first to know.
