Monetisation strategy


We monetise the app through subscriptions, with two distinct business models: Freemium in the USA and Free Trial everywhere else.
Our pricing ranges from £39 to £69 per year, resulting in a customer lifetime value of £298.
With a customer acquisition cost ranging from £40 to £50, this results in an impressive 6:1 LTV to CAC ratio.

Marine businesses can now promote themselves directly on the map, reaching a highly qualified audience of boating enthusiasts.
With our growing popularity and close to a million app downloads, this is the perfect chance for marine businesses to increase their brand awareness and reach new customers.

We have a wealth of data on boating behaviour and in 2023, we plan to launch Lighthouse which will give access to the wider industry.We will work with waterfront planners, governments, and environmental agencies, to help them understand boating behaviour, identify investment opportunities, and evaluate the impact of infrastructure changes.

Use of proceeds
Topline aims are to accelerate growth, roll out our Lighthouse platform to the wider marine community, and grow brand awareness.
This investment will be used for
• Performance and Brand Marketing - while more and more boaters in the UK are becoming aware of us, we have only scratched the surface in other countries. In particular in the US, we want to become a household name in the marine sector.
• Product Innovation - last year we worked hard on version two of our app. As that is now rolling out, it enables us to focus on the more innovative aspects of our roadmap, such as the integration of Sea State, comfort Levels, AIS overlays, and much more.
• Lighthouse - working closely with marine agencies and other stakeholders, we are building one of the most insight-rich platforms on boating behaviour. Ranging from where boaters plan their trips and where they go to being able to segment the data down to vessel type and size. All of this provides invaluable insights for the marine sector.
