For lake and inland marinas
Built for the way lake marinas run.
Most marina software is built around boats passing through on the coast. Lake marinas run on something else: tenants who come back year after year, a pontoon fleet that books up every summer weekend, and a winter when the water drops and the docks go quiet. That’s what we built for.

What makes a lake marina different.
Every part of Field Guide Marina answers something lake marinas actually deal with.
Tenants who stay for years
Seasonal and yearly leases that renew themselves, and rate increases you can waive for the family that has been here 20 years.
A pontoon fleet
Online booking at any hour, holiday pricing for the Fourth of July, and a calendar that closes for winter in a click.
Houseboats and dry storage
Houseboat slips, covered and uncovered slips and storage yards, all on one map.
Insurance on every boat
Reminders before policies lapse, and tenants who upload their own cards.
Freshwater rules
Clean Marina, pump-out, fuel dock and stormwater records in the same place as your slips.
A short season to sell
A website and seasonal social media that fill the fleet and the slips while the water is warm.
Your year on Field Guide Marina.
- WinterThe quiet months: a good time to move over and set your rates
- SpringInsurance reminders, new tenants from the waitlist, and boat rentals open for booking
- SummerThe fleet books itself, dock walks catch the boats nobody is billing, and work orders don’t get lost
- FallA last fall sale for the pontoons, then the calendar closes for winter
All year: renewals go out whenever each lease comes due, and insurance reminders before each policy runs out.

Questions owners ask
- We also have visiting boaters. Does that work?
- Yes. Rent chosen slips by the night at your own rates and minimum stays. Slips held by seasonal tenants are never offered.
- We close the boat rentals for half the year.
- Block the dates and the booking page says you’re closed. You can leave next season open for early bookings over the winter.
- Our water level changes a lot. Does that matter?
- Not to the software. Many lake marinas close part of the season when the water drops, and blocking those dates takes a minute.
