How it works
Three steps from trip details to a ready-to-shop plan.
No spreadsheets, no blank pages. Smart defaults do the heavy lifting — you review and adjust.
- 1
Describe your trip
Route, dates, crew, and boat. Sensible defaults fill in everything you have not decided yet.
- 2
Get your plan in minutes
Day-by-day meals, exact quantities, and a categorized shopping list — generated together, fully editable.
- 3
Shop, load, and sail
Check items off in the store, hand the list to a supplier, and adjust the plan whenever the trip changes.
What you get
From boat food ideas to a complete provisioning plan.
Enter your trip, crew, boat, and route. Victuo turns sailing food ideas, yacht recipes, and crew preferences into a meal plan, grouped shopping list, storage checks, and supplier context before you start shopping.
Plan fit compares food, water, and drinks against targets
Sailing food that fits your trip
Every plan is checked against your meal targets, water needs, and drinks coverage — so you see the fit before you shop.
Category totals stay grouped with exact buying quantities
Yacht provisioning shopping lists
Ingredients are aggregated into structured quantities you can check off, edit, export, or send to suppliers.
Supplier search stays anchored to the selected marina and route
Supplier and resupply context
Relevant suppliers and marina context help you plan departure provisioning and later restock options along the route.
Why plans fail
Most provisioning plans look good on paper.
They fail when limited storage, changing conditions, crew needs, and resupply gaps show up together.
Wrong plan
- Food does not fit the fridge or storage.
- Meals need equipment you do not have onboard.
Waste
- Fresh food spoils before it is used.
- Uncertainty turns into overbuying.
Crew needs collide
- Dietary needs surface after shopping.
- One-size meals create friction onboard.
Resupply gaps
- You assume availability that is not there.
- Delivery and restock options are found too late.
The method
Grounded in recognized nutrition frameworks and offshore safety practice.
Baseline food and water needs follow public dietary reference frameworks, then adjust for activity, climate, crew profile, passage duration, remoteness, storage, and reserve buffers. Offshore checks are informed by international sailing safety guidance.

Built for real trips
How Victuo handles real-world scenarios.
These are the places where the product has to stay practical once real trip conditions take over.
Plans that adapt to real sailing conditions
Trip type and planning mode set the baseline before the product generates meals and quantities.
- Charter, training, coastal leisure, and longer passages can start from different assumptions.
- Route rhythm and onboard context shape the first version instead of being added later.
- The planning setup stays visible enough to review before generation.
Trip type sets the planning baseline before meals are selected
Meals adjust based on weather, activity, and crew energy
The engine weighs planning mode, weather, activity, comfort, and remoteness before selecting meals.
- Hot conditions can favor lighter, fresher options.
- Demanding days can favor simpler prep and stronger energy coverage.
- Behavioral profile controls help tune how conservative or flexible the plan should be.
Planning controls tune weather, activity, remoteness, and behavior
Browse meals before you commit
The meal explorer keeps sailing recipes and boat food ideas visible, filterable, and easy to compare before they land in the plan.
- Meal options can be filtered by slot, diet, prep style, and favorites.
- Cards show calories and preparation tags before a meal is selected.
- The plan stays editable without hiding the meal catalog behind generation.
Meal candidates stay browsable before they become part of the plan
Handles crew complexity
Mixed diets, exclusions, and preferences stay inside one workable plan.
- Guest preferences can be collected without chasing messages across chat.
- Diet needs and exclusions stay inside one trip instead of splitting the workflow.
- Late replies can be folded in without rebuilding from zero.
Diets, exclusions, and pending guests stay visible inside the trip

Questions
Common questions
How is this different from a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet does not understand sailing conditions, storage limits, galley equipment, perishability, or crew diet rules. Victuo calculates those together and gives you an editable working plan instead of a blank grid.
Does Victuo suggest boat recipes and meal ideas?
Yes. Each plan is built from sailing recipes and boat food ideas matched to your galley equipment, storage, and crew diets, so you get practical yacht food rather than a generic recipe list. You can browse, swap, and lock meals before generating.
What standards inform the calculations?
Victuo starts from a baseline physiological-needs model and is informed by public nutrition reference frameworks and offshore safety practice, including WHO healthy-diet guidance, EFSA dietary reference values, the U.S. National Academies Dietary Reference Intakes, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations, US Sailing safety guidance, RYA guidance, and MCA and Coast Guard preparedness practice. It is still a planning tool, not medical advice or a substitute for skipper judgment.
What kind of trip is Victuo built for?
Victuo is designed for multi-day yacht trips such as charter weeks, family cruising, flotilla trips, training passages, and longer onboard itineraries where food, water, and storage need proper planning.
How much do I need to know before I can generate a plan?
You only need the essentials to start: trip length, crew size, trip style, and a basic boat profile. You can refine storage, equipment, drinks, and crew preferences afterward without starting from scratch.
Can I start planning before all guests reply?
Yes. Generate an early version first, then fold in guest responses later. Preferences can be reviewed and approved as they come in, and locked choices stay in place when you regenerate.
Can it handle vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, and exclusions?
Yes. Victuo supports mixed crews with diet types and exclusions such as no dairy, no fish, and no egg, and it can generate compatible alternatives automatically. You should still verify allergens and ingredient safety yourself before final purchase.
Does it account for boat storage and cooking equipment?
Yes. Victuo checks fridge, freezer, and dry storage against the plan, and filters meals based on the galley setup. If the boat does not have the equipment for a meal, that meal should not make it into the shortlist.
What if weather, route, or crew changes?
That is exactly the kind of change Victuo is meant to absorb. You can update trip settings, add or remove crew, lock the parts you want to keep, and regenerate the rest instead of reworking the whole plan by hand.
