Community guidelines
Effective 1 October 2026
Onshore works because shippers, crew and carriers can trust each other. These guidelines apply to listings, messages, reviews, profiles and the community board, alongside our Terms.
Be accurate
- Listings must describe real journeys, real capacity, the actual vehicle and real prices.
- Cargo descriptions must say what is really being sent, including its value and any dangerous goods.
- Don’t impersonate another person, yacht or business.
Be respectful
- No harassment, threats, discrimination or abusive language.
- Don’t share other people’s personal data beyond what a booking needs.
- Respect marina staff, security and other port users — your conduct on the quay reflects on everyone.
Keep it on the platform
- Don’t use Onshore to find a counterparty and then take the booking off the platform.
- Don’t post phone numbers, emails or payment details in listings or public posts to get around this.
Honest reviews
- Review only bookings you took part in, and describe what actually happened.
- No fake reviews, review swapping, or offering anything in exchange for a review.
- Carriers can reply publicly to reviews — keep replies factual and polite.
Community board
- Posts should be useful to people working in yacht logistics: routes, capacity wanted, port and marina tips, customs questions.
- No spam, unrelated advertising, or illegal content.
Safety and the law
- Never offer or request carriage of prohibited items (see section 10 of the Terms).
- Drive legally and safely. Don’t use the app while driving.
