Too easy

We have used Dockwa to plan for weeks in advance, and also the same day while we were out on a sail and decided to drop
Into another harbor on the fly!

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?

How does Dockwa compare to calling a marina directly?
