GO SAILING (formerly Kroocial) for Android
I was tired of trying to get my friends to come sailing with me... tried the app and had a great day on the water with people who share my passion!
Need to be more upfront that this app is only for two cities in the US. I don't live in the bay area so it is no good for me. I'll wait till it expands to more cities.
Great app for sailors. I was fretting over the logistics of moving my new boat from Shelter Island to Chula Vista in San Diego Bay, when I learned about this app. I posted a request for help and received a reply from a really great guy who helped me move the boat south. I now have a sailing buddy and look forward to adding many more via this app.
On my phone at least, I can neither filter or select location, which makes it next to impossible to find an event.
Wouldn't let me filter or select location. I deleted this app...
USA only!!
I love the idea and the usefulness for finding someone to sail with on short notice. My only gripes are: you can not limit the list to an area, zip+distance or geographical region; and you cannot exit the app,only kill it. The back button to exit the app doesn't work and there is no exit option in the drop down. Other than that, I love it.
On Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. One minor technical issue - can't exit app using back button; need to pull all apps menu and then X it. One major management issue - I'm in the SF bay area, and while some people do post private sails the feed is mostly cluttered by sailing schools posting repetitive generic crap to solicit customers. You need to separate advertisements (paid or not) from the social feed or people will run away.
I really like the idea of this app. I wish there was a filter so I could filter by things like courses and length of trip.
Would be nice to try, won't install on galaxy S7...
Easy to use!
I'm so excited that this app has now been opened up to include sailors outside San Francisco! There is still a focus on California but it's possible to create a sailing trip anywhere under the "other" category!
Ever get the bug to sail, and none of your sailing friends are available? New to the area & don't know anyone who sails? Kroocial is standing by! Every Kroocial trip I've taken has had friendly folks with a range of sailing experiences & local knowledge, increased my knowledge & skill level, provided new sailing buddies for the future, and restored within me the peace the sea offers.
Cannot create a new profile. Weird issues with the text entries. Can't see the field you're typing in. error message displays but can't read it because of pop-up window spacing issues. This thing is completely useless.
An app to find local sailors. CHECK A great way to meet new people. CHECK Sailing the San Francisco Bay. CHECK Learning about sailing from certified sailors. CHECK Grilling and enjoying a nice glass of champs. CHECK Relaxing on a beautiful sailboat with fun people CHECK CHECK CHECK :) Download it. Use it. Spread the love sailors!
This app is great. It has really helped me get out and meet people who share me passion.

Great app to find sailboats that need a crew or just passengers. Useful for captains and shipmates alike.
Using and lovin it!
I heard about kroocial from a friend and so I tried it. It was a awesome experience, I met super nice people and had a lot of fun! Everybody who likes sailing should try it! Can't wait for the next tour!!! Thanks to the crew! Cayetana B.R.
I open the app and it presents me with an email/password challenge, but no way to create an account. What am I missing?
We have found this app easy to use and recommend it to other sailors. Looking forward to it expanding to other sports.
Neat app. The private request feature makes planning a sailing trip really easy. Looking forward to more users on the platform
This App makes it very easy to find other people to go out sailing with. This is great, especially with the upcoming America's Cup in San Francisco.
Planning sailing trips and finding other sailors is very easy.. well done.
