The disadvantages of Facebook groups vs crew finder websites
Who has ever found sailing opportunities via Facebook? Of course, there is a very lucky coincidence that could make this happen, a one-in-a-million chance.
But how many posts are actually available on Facebook? Are they still valid? Can you sort them by departure area, port of departure, and date? Do you have enough information about the personality and skills of the sailor to be able to engage with them? Do you know enough about their boat? How do you know these are safe and trustworthy people and vessels? Does Facebook offer a reviewing system to rate co-browsers and ensure their reliability? Does Facebook moderate posts and check how legal and secure they are? There iss only one answer to all these questions is no!
Facebook’s job is to advertise and exploit your personal data as much as it can while barely staying within the confines of the law. And if you cannot find what you need through Facebook, can you ask a hotline for help? Well, you sure can try!
On the other hand, We at Coboaters make it our mission get all members an opportunity to go boating, and that changes everything.
Why Crew finder websites are not free?
Our membership price is very affordable
and cheaper than any boat club, both brick-and-mortar and our online competitors. This is so we can ensure both top platform performance with the help of our committed team, and a budget-friendly way for boating enthusiasts to keep enjoying their favorite hobby, which can be costly enough as is.
So where does your money go? Not into advertisers or a social media companies pockets. It goes straight into your next boating experience!
Yes, and this is actually the first step to joining the club. When you create your profile, it initially gains an Observer status. This status allows you to access 100% of the site except for the contact details of other members. This way, you can check for yourself that the club really does meet your expectations.
We even took our trials one step further and you can even post a notice to check whether your crewmember profile or boating event catches other member eyes. Of course, if you do want to contact these new people who would like to go boating or sailing with you, you will need to subscribe to a full membership.
