Works great for planned and last-minute trips
I boat all over Puget Sound and have used OnBuoy for trips planned in advance and also for extending a trip on the fly when I wanted one more night out. I've used it to book private buoys as well as marina slips, and the coverage in the Puget Sound area is solid. Overall the app is pretty easy to use.
The website also does a good job of explaining the small details. That matters when you don't want surprises.
What surprised me most is how much more comfortable I feel tying to a private buoy when I know it's been inspected. That detail alone changes the "math" versus anchoring; I don’t wake up in the middle of the night wondering if my anchor is holding.
Highly recommend for any boater.

Airbnb for Buoys!
This is the app I’ve been waiting for. Airbnb for buoys, done right. Easy to use, practical when you actually need it, and built around a real sense of community. Bonus points for responsive, thoughtful customer support.
So easy!
This app does for boating what harvesthost did for camping! I am generally bad about making reservations in advance, this app lets me be more spontaneous. Plus, it’s more reliable and better for the environment than dropping anchor. Thanks OnBuoy!

Opening new cruising paths
I’m excited for the upcoming cruising season. Owners of private buoys opening up to boaters creates a whole bunch of new overnight options and will spread the crowds around from the usual spots. This is great for the environment and for boaters. I love that all the public buoys are here for reference as well as pump outs. Kudos.

Ingenious
What a great way to enjoy boating and not worry where to find a spot! With so many lakes I hope this can take place everywhere. Wonderful idea!
This is what has been needed! Very nicely done!
This app is very easy to use and I look forward to expansion in my area and to using your service . Thank you
Easy-peasy
Super easy to use and a great interface, both on mobile and desktop. Makes planning a voyage much better.
Easy to use
The OnBuoy app is the best place to find accessible moorage options while boating!
Great app
Great app and even better customer service. Love these guys
Good idea, great service
I’ve always wondered why there wasn’t a way to ask someone for permission to tie up to their buoy. This app does exactly that and also shows when the buoy was last inspected. Really good experience. 👍
