Chats & crew Automatic booking group chats — For eligible yacht and cabin bookings, the app can create and keep a dedicated group chat for your crew as you get closer to the event (timing is set per event by organizers). Smarter crew visibility — Host, skipper, and event crew on the Crews tab can be shown or hidden based on event settings (e.g. only in the days before the event starts). Clearer crew list — Filter guests vs event crew, improved empty states, and pull to refresh even when no one is listed yet. Reply in chat — Reply to a specific message with previews for text, photos, videos, contacts, and locations. @mentions — Tag people from the event roster in chats, feed posts, and comments; tap a mention to open their profile.

Tap links everywhere — Phone numbers, emails, and URLs are tappable in feed, comments, itinerary, and messages.
