App needs improvement

Being disconnected from a map makes it really hard to make choices. Comparisons between locations would be really useful. UI is clumsy and not intuitive.

Easy as Apple Pie

Using the Dockwa app is as easy as eating apple pie !! Smooth and easy going.
Makes having a dock spot stress free when traveling to different marinas or just going out to lunch or dinner

We love Dockwa

We have had a great experience with Dockwa. Our favorite marina on Fire Island started using it about 6 years ago and quite honestly we were against it but it has really been fantastic!! Just knowing that our slip is secured for us gives us great peace of mind. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how great Strongs & Grover (the managers of the dock) are doing!! These guys are wonderful!

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.

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.

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?
