The Founding Member deal

$199/year, limited to the first 100 members. Founding Members get full Bluewater limits and the price is grandfathered for life — it never steps up to standard pricing while you stay subscribed. When the 100 seats are gone, they're gone.

How limits behave

  • Hitting a cap shows a clear message with the limit and an upgrade path — the app never silently drops data.
  • Downgrading never deletes anything. Resources over the new plan's cap go read-only until you're back under it (or upgrade again).
  • Crew never pay: seats ride on the vessel owner's plan.

Trying before buying

Offshore has a 14-day free trial — cancel before it ends and you're not charged. There's no trial on Bluewater; a single month at $25 is the practical equivalent.
