The Marine Expert You Trust, Live on Video

Chat, then video-call the mechanic, electrician, or rigger you already know — from the dock, the engine room, or underway. Pay per minute. No subscriptions.

Private by design. You join through an expert you already trust.

How billing works

Before your first message or call, add a card and load your prepaid wallet (from $5 up). Calls and messages are paid from that balance — per minute for live video or voice, and per message for chat. You're billed only for time you actually use; your wallet is never overdrawn, and unused funds never expire. Marine experts choose their rates and receive payouts through Stripe. The platform takes a flat 12% on paid session time. Experts set their own rates. Good advice costs what it's worth — and you're billed only for the time you use. No booking fees, no membership tiers, no surprises.
