The mySea app is coming soon!

mySea has been online now since mid-September and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal users. We hope you are enjoying the site even though it’s not totally perfect yet. We are working till late at night to improve mySea for you.

This obviously also includes our app! The iOS app will be online in a few weeks and available in the App Store for free. The Android App will take a little longer to be finished.

At the moment we are testing the beta version, here are two screen shots.

A wedding day full of obstacles

It is a hot day in late summer, there is a slight breeze, the yacht is gathering speed as Oliver and his wife Silvie sail towards the setting sun. The turquoise water of the Aegean Sea sparkles in the sunlight and the olive trees on the waterfront are reflecting in the water. It is a special day for Oliver and his wife. 12 years ago they met in a small tavern in a dreamy bay in the island of Patmos and got married 2 years later. Their children are staying with their grandparents and now the two of them are on their second honeymoon, reminiscing about how they first met. It was a day like today, Oliver was out with his friends and they wanted to round off the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.

They were drawn to a tavern playing soft music, with candle lights and cosy tables on the terrace. By chance, he and Silvie literally bumped into each other. He apologised, full of remorse, for spilling red wine over her dress, but Silvie just laughed. He can still hear her ripple of laughter, even today, and remembers that very moment vividly.

Today, on their wedding day, Oliver wants to relive those memories, but if possible without ruining her dress. He sails towards Patmos and searches the horizon for the bay with the small tavern. But which bay could it be? Twelve years is a long time to still be able to remember.

Oliver has been thinking about it for hours and is getting more and more nervous. He can’t and won’t ask his wife, after all, it is supposed to be a wedding day surprise for her, a special and romantic surprise.

From the idea to the realization

When planning a sailing trip months in advance or sailing through the Aegean Sea, when looking for a berth… What would you need for all of that? How many books and charts would you have to take with you in order to find all of that information? This is exactly what the initiator asked himself and so the idea for a nautical digital travel guide was born. At this point in time, no one could have imagined how much effort was going to be necessary to turn this idea into a reality.

The data bank had to be created and the first question arose immediately: what information do we want to offer to the users and what would users find especially interesting? If this were the only question we had asked, we would have completed this project much faster, but one question led to another. In the end, we had a data bank with more than 300 fields and it is still expanding today.
