Everything it does
Everything Field Guide Marina does, in plain words.
We built every part of this alongside lake marinas, to solve a problem one of them actually had. Here’s the whole list. Switch on what you need, and the rest stays out of sight.
Slips and the map
- A map of your docks, with every slip colored by its lease
- Click any slip for the tenant, their boat and the lease
- Length, width, depth, tie-up and power on every slip
- A warning when a boat is too big for its slip
- Covered, uncovered and houseboat slips, and dry storage yards
- Move or swap tenants, and their leases go with them
- A waitlist that offers open slips to boats that fit
- Visiting boaters by the night, with nightly rates and minimum stays
Leases and renewals
