A website builder for marinas

Slips come first, and seasonal and transient are two different customers

A seasonal boater is choosing a home for the summer. A transient boater is passing through and needs a place for tonight. Each gets a page written for that reader.

The seasonal page covers slip sizes, what a lease includes, power and water at the dock, and how the waitlist works. The transient page covers how to reserve, check-in hours, and what to do if you arrive after the office closes.

Slip sizes, depths and clearances are the numbers boaters check twice. They appear only as you give them, and the page can say when you last checked them.

Storage, fuel and service get their own pages when you sell them

Dry stack, winter storage, shrink wrap, hauling and launch each answer a different question. If you offer them, each gets a page that says what is included, how to book it, and what the yard expects from the owner.

The fuel dock page is short on purpose: what you pump, the hours, and how to raise you when you come in. The service page names the work your yard does and the work you send out, so no one arrives expecting a repair you do not do.

• Slips and moorage, seasonal and transient
• Dry stack and winter storage
• Fuel dock and pump-out
• Service, hauling and launch
• Ship store and amenities

The proof boaters look for before they commit a season

Boaters ask other boaters, and then they check your site. Every item below appears only if your interview says it is true, and photos are of your docks, not a stock harbor.

• Photos of the docks, the ramp, the yard and the store
• Clean Marina or similar programs you take part in
• Insurance you carry, and what a slip lease requires of the boater
• Security, lighting and gate hours as they actually are
• Reviews you supply and stand behind

How a boater reaches you, and what the form asks

Most marina leads are a slip inquiry. The form on every page asks what you need to answer one: boat length, beam and draft, power or sail, and the season or dates wanted. Each submission lands in your CRM, in Slack, by SMS or by email, and a Send test lead button proves the route before a real one arrives.

The phone number sits at the top of every page, with a Text us link beside it if you want one. The site can name the VHF channel you monitor, in your words, for the boater already on the water.

If your service yard books through Calendly, Acuity or Square Appointments, the site gets a book-a-time section that loads only when a visitor opens it.

Wording that keeps a marina site honest

No promise about water depth at low tide, a slip being available, or a boat being safe in a storm. The site says what you have, what it costs if you choose to show it, and how to ask.

Rates are yours to publish or not. The assistant can read a Google Sheet of slip sizes and rates through a read-only share, and it never invents a seasonal rate.

Each page goes through a check that runs before anything publishes, validated against Google Search Essentials and modern web standards. If a page fails, it does not go live and the assistant tells you why.

The questions boaters ask a marina, answered plainly

The questions your dockmaster answers every week get written from your answers. Each page has an answer capsule near the top, the part the AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers can quote on its own.

• Do you have a slip for my boat this season
• Can I stay one night
• Do you have a pump-out
• Can I live aboard
• Do you haul and store for winter

What the interview asks a marina

The in-app assistant asks what you offer at the water: slips, moorings, storage, fuel, service, a store, a ramp. It asks slip sizes and depths, the seasons you run, how the waitlist works, and whether liveaboards are allowed. It asks what your yard does in-house, which programs you belong to, and what makes your marina different.

You see the planned pages and what the build costs before anything runs, and you approve it. The site is genuinely useful because it is written from a conversation with the person who knows the docks.
