Absolutely horrible experience

I hate this app so badly that I’m considering switching my boat to a marina that doesn’t use this app.

First stop for reservations

Love the app, easy to use, and most marinas are very responsive. Definitely my first pass at making reservations here on the Maine coast and elsewhere.

Garbage on an iPhone

The request button gets stuck under the keyboard. PITA to actually click to make a reservation

FAQ

What does Dockwa do?

Dockwa is a mobile application designed to help boaters reserve slips and moorings at marinas, yacht clubs, and boatyards across the country. It allows users to discover new locations, view amenities, and manage their reservations all within the app.

Is Dockwa free to use for boaters?

Yes, Dockwa is completely free for boaters. There are no booking fees, no price mark-ups, and no additional costs to use the app or create an account. All marina prices and policies displayed on Dockwa are set by the marinas themselves.

What information do I need to provide to make a reservation?

To make a reservation, you can add your boat(s) and credit card information to your Dockwa account. This allows for a faster booking process and eliminates the need to provide these details over the phone or VHF radio each time. Your information is encrypted for security.

Where can I use Dockwa to book a slip?

Dockwa allows you to reserve slips and moorings at hundreds of locations throughout the East Coast, the Bahamas, Caribbean, Great Lakes, and West Coast. New locations are being added regularly, so you can find dockage in many popular boating destinations.

How does Dockwa compare to calling a marina directly?

Dockwa streamlines the reservation process, eliminating the need for phone tag and webforms. You can compare rates, amenities, and services, get quotes in-app, and submit reservation requests for faster confirmation directly from marina staff, making the entire experience smoother.
