The rhythm of a record year.

Each season, the cadence of inquiries, bookings, and messages reveals how connected boaters are to marinas and to each other. Communication between both sides continues to move online, providing a clearer, faster way to manage relationships across the water.

Mobile booking dominates with 44% share of reservations.

Of the over 340,000 stays in Dockwa this year, nearly half of them were booked through the Dockwa mobile app., signaling boaters increasing preference for convenience. 

Boaters and marinas exchanged over 500,000 messages this year.

That's up 12% year over year and reflects all communications between Dockwa boaters and Dockwa marinas regarding reservations, long term dockage requests, contract coordination, fuel dock hours, approach instructions, you name it.
