Martide review
A maritime-focused platform with free recruiting and paid crew operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Martide is a cloud-based maritime crew management platform for crew managers, shipowners, and manning agents. It brings recruitment, crew and vessel data, document management, visual planning, crew changes, travel coordination, messaging, portals, and seafarer mobile access into one system. Its maritime focus makes it a fit for teams managing seafarers, vessels, assignments, qualifications, vacancies, and on/off-signers rather than general workforce scheduling.
Pricing is straightforward across its monthly plans. The free Recruiting plan includes a branded job advert, unlimited users, and no setup or hidden fees. The Operations plan costs $249 per month, includes complete crew operations, unlimited users, and capacity for 50 onboard seafarers. Additional onboard capacity costs $4.80 per seafarer per month. This structure gives recruiting teams a low-commitment entry point, while operational teams can align ongoing cost with seafarer capacity. Buyers should compare the included capacity with their active fleet before selecting the paid tier.
Martide’s strongest fit is its connected maritime workflow. The visual crew and vessel planning calendar works alongside filtered seafarer search, crew pools, document expiry alerts, vessel requirements, job assignments, recruitment pipelines, and vacancy advertising. Travel-agency and port-agent portals support coordination beyond the core team, while messaging and broadcast communications extend the operational workflow. Seafarers can use the mobile app for job applications and travel information, and API connectivity supports existing software systems. Martide suits maritime teams seeking recruiting and operations in one platform; teams prioritizing explicit duty-time rules or fatigue-management controls should evaluate alternatives alongside it.
