Transient slips booked from the water

How it works

1. Answers through the rush

   First ring on a summer weekend, several boats at once, while the staff are on the docks.

2. Gets the boat

   Length overall, beam, draft, power or sail, and 30 or 50 amp. The boat's name and a cell number.

3. Matches a slip

   Only slips that are open and fit. It checks your entrance and dock depth against their draft before it says yes.

4. Prices the night

   From your per-foot rate, with power and any long-weekend minimum, read out plainly.

5. Books and texts

   Dock and slip number, the VHF channel to call on arrival, fuel dock hours and the washroom code.

6. Tells the dock

   The dockmaster sees the boat, the slip and the arrival time, so someone is there to take lines.
