Crewed Cruises: Pantry and Expenses Under Control with Nautixo

Anyone who loves sailing knows: a crewed cruise is one of the most beautiful experiences at sea. But anyone who has organized one at least once also knows the other side of the coin: the pantry to stock, the shopping lists bouncing around on WhatsApp, and, above all, managing cruise expenses, with that eternal doubt at the end of the trip: who paid for what, and who owes how much to whom?

Usually, all of this ends up in confused chats, scraps of paper, and an improvised Excel sheet that no one updates. Nautixo was created for this too: organizing your cruises with your crew in a simple, orderly, and collaborative way. And it’s free.

Create Your Cruises and Invite Your Crew

As a navigator, you can create up to 3 cruises a year for free.

For each cruise, give it a title, set the dates, and invite your crewmates, who receive an invitation and participate in the organization.

Each cruise becomes a shared space where you can plan the outing, stock the pantry, and keep track of expenses—all together, without chasing each other through endless messages.

The Pantry, Stocked Together

The pantry is collaborative: each crew member adds their own products, organized by category (drinks, fresh produce, pantry staples, cleaning supplies, and so on).

No more duplicate lists or last-minute oversights.

With Nautixo’s pantry, you can:

• add products with quantities and notes;
• see who is responsible for buying what;
• mark what has already been purchased;
• receive a notification when the list is updated;
• export a ready-to-shop PDF, sorted by category.

The result is a list that’s always up to date and visible to everyone, making the pre-departure shopping trip much faster.

Managing Cruise Expenses, Without the Headache

This is where Nautixo takes away the most annoying problem: keeping track of who paid for what.

Every time someone pays for an expense upfront (fuel, mooring, pantry, restaurant dinner), they record it by entering the amount and who paid.

Expenses can be divided as you prefer:

• equally among participants;
• at custom amounts, if someone is only joining for certain expenses;

You can also add guests on board without an account (just name and surname) to include them in the division, with their share covered by a crew referent.

And if someone is exempt from a certain category (for example, they don’t drink at the bar), you can exclude them with a click.

At the end of the cruise, there’s no need to do the math by hand: Nautixo automatically calculates the balances and tells you who owes how much to whom, with suggested reimbursements.

Simple, transparent, no arguments.

Cruise Statistics

In addition to the accounts, Nautixo gives you a complete overview of the cruise. In a dedicated page, you’ll find:

• a pie chart showing expense breakdown by category;
• total spend per person and daily spend per person;
• the daily pantry, to understand how much is really spent on food on board;
• the average restaurant meal cost and bar outing cost;
• the average daily spend and the most expensive category.

And if you want to save or share everything, you can download a complete PDF with the expense details, each person’s share (including guests), suggested reimbursements, and statistics.

Everything Stays in Your Profile

A cruise isn’t just about expenses and the pantry: it’s an experience.

At the end, the outing can be added to your logbook and contribute to your Nautical CV, with miles, days on board, and the role you played.

So what you organize with your crew also becomes part of your growth as a navigator.

Completely Free

Creating your cruises, stocking the pantry, and managing cruise expenses with your crew is free, up to 3 cruises a year.

No credit card, no Excel sheet, no manual calculations.
