The YCA Black Market Digital Services category is where cruising meets the internet. Find apps, digital tools, navigation services, weather platforms, communications software, and other online resources built to make life on the water easier.

No shipping. No cardboard box. Just useful digital sh*t for sailors who would rather spend less time fighting technology and more time actually sailing.

    Boat Parts App is for buying and selling boat parts, whole boats and everything sailors need. Instead of hundreds of regional Facebook and WhatsApp groups, there is one marketplace with 20 marine categories, real specs and a live map you can zoom to your own marina. Listings move with your boat, so your offers are always visible wherever you are moored. Available on iOS and Android in English, German, French and Spanish.
