How it works

The calculator builds a menu for your crew with the same planner as the Galley Wizard app: three meals a day from 327 galley recipes, own plates for vegans and vegetarians, grams per person scaled to appetite, plus spare days for delays. Then it adds up what to buy. See it explained with real trips in the provisioning guides.

Questions

How much food do I need for a sailing trip?

Enter your crew, days at sea, diets and safety margin: the calculator plans breakfast, lunch and dinner for every day with Galley Wizard's engine and adds up the shopping list. In our examples it comes to a little over 1 kg of food bought per person per day, including spare days.

Is the provisioning calculator free?

Yes. No account is needed and nothing is saved. It shows how much to buy for any trip, and the full itemized list for trips of up to 7 days and 5 people — like Galley Wizard's free plan. For bigger trips, the full list per port with the menu, stowage and prep comes with a Passage pass.

What does the safety margin do?

It adds spare days of food for a slow passage — 20 %, 30 % or 40 % of the days at sea.
