Seazazoo is a digital platform dedicated to sailing enthusiasts, skippers, owners and racers. It facilitates crew searches and access to official regattas in France and abroad. Registration is free and open to beginners and experienced sailors alike.

A platform designed by practitioners for practitioners

Launched in 2023 in Marseille, Seazazoo is a social network dedicated to the racing community. Accessible online, the platform enables users to create a personalized profile to be spotted by other sailors, find a place on a team or offer their own boat for charter

Searching for crew or a boat: a modernized crew exchange

Seazazoo makes it easy for both owners and crew to connect. Profiles detail skills, position, availability and home port. The tool filters searches according to requirements: tactician, number 1, skipper, etc.

The platform can also be used to hire boats for one-off regattas, with or without a professional skipper.

Concrete benefits for every user

Whether you're a boat owner or simply an enthusiast looking to race, Seazazoo offers a range of targeted services enabling you to sail according to your skills, desires and availability.

For homeowners :

  • Quick access to the community to complete your crew
  • Offer your boat for charter between regattas
  • Reduced maintenance costs thanks to one-off rentals

For crew and racers :

  • Access to inshore and offshore races, in France and abroad
  • Opportunity to earn points in the FFV rankings and experience the regatta from the inside
  • Discover new boats, train with pro skippers or build a network

A community supported by recognized ambassadors

The project is led by a team based in Marseille, born of the desire to create a social tool for sailing. Ambassadors include well-known regatta personalities such as Christopher Pratt, Albane Dubois and Michel de Bressy, who share the idea of simplified access to competitive sailing.

Free registration and a participatory approach

Registration on Seazazoo is open and free of charge, whether you're an owner, a crew member or just an enthusiast. The business model is based on fair sharing: in the event of a charter, the owner receives 95âeuros¯% of the declared amount before tax, and the crew member contributes an additional 15âeuros¯% to cover the platform

Why Seazazoo can change the way you approach racing

In a world often isolated or dependent on word-of-mouth, Seazazoo modernizes nautical networking. Thanks to a news feed, a regatta calendar, direct exchanges between members and an interface designed by regatta sailors, the tool facilitates crew formation, access to regattas and the discovery of new boats
