Propeliu lets the people who love your voyage back it — with recurring support or a one-time push toward the next big project. You keep 93–97%. Paid straight to your bank. Built for boats.
No pitch deck, no gatekeepers. If you have a boat and a story, you can be backed by tonight.
Link a bank account through Stripe in a couple of minutes. Payouts land where your fuel money already lives — no middle account holding your funds.
Get a clean link for your boat. Post it anywhere — your channel, your logbook, the dock. Followers back you in two taps, no account required.
Money moves the moment someone backs you. Post updates, thank your crew, and watch the total climb — while you keep your hands on the boat.
Most captains use both. Steady patronage keeps the lights on; a fundraiser pushes the next haul-out, sail, or passage over the line.
The people who tune in for every mile become your patrons — a few dollars a month that add up to a real, dependable base.
New rigging, a rebuild, an ocean crossing. Set a goal, tell the story, and keep every dollar you raise — even if you don't hit the number.
No tiers of hidden tips, no "optional" platform donation nudged onto your backers. One honest fee that shrinks as your boat earns trust.
Comparisons reflect typical effective take-rates once platform fees, tips and payment processing are counted. Propeliu's processing is included in the 3–7%.
Fees drop as your boat proves it's real. AIS-verified voyages and time on the water earn you the lowest rate on the platform.
Propeliu is part of Master's Mate — the supercharged platform that runs the whole boat. So when someone backs you, they don't just send money into a void. They come aboard.
Backers start following your boat on the map — no more "we're fine" texts. Your voyage is the reward.
AIS-verified vessels wear a trust badge. Supporters can see it's a real boat on a real passage before they give.
Every dollar backed earns Sea Miles inside Master's Mate — the more your crew gives, the more the whole voyage unlocks.
Propeliu is built by a cruising family living aboard S/Y Airspeed in the Caribbean — not a fintech committee. It's honest about where it is: if a boat goes dark, backers are told. No fake counts, no vanity metrics. Just a fair way to fund the life.
Set up your boat in minutes and keep more of every dollar than any platform out there.
