Fill the slips and fuel runs you’re missing.
A boater is three miles out, low on fuel, searching by GPS for a dock with pump-out. Captain’s Pick puts your marina at the top of their screen — not the yard across the creek.
The top marina slot in your town is open right now.
No card required. See your own views and booking taps before you pay anything.
Built for Shore marinas, ship stores, and creek yards from Rock Hall to Wachapreague.
You’ve got the best transient rates on the creek. The problem isn’t your dock — it’s the thirty seconds between “we need fuel” and the tap that sends them to the other marina.
Your website reaches people who already know your name. Google Maps shows every yard in the county. Dockwa and aggregators take a cut and bury you in a list. Meanwhile a cruiser coming up the Bay opens our app, checks the map, filters for fuel and pump-out — and calls the first pin that answers.
They didn’t choose them over you. They never saw your slip availability or your Friday fuel price.
Solution — Three Things Captain’s Pick Does
📍 Top of “Nearby Businesses”
When a boater is within a few miles of your creek, you’re the first marina on their home screen. The digital version of being the first dock they see rounding the bend — except they see you before they ever enter your harbor.
💬 Inside the local conversation
When someone posts “anyone know transient slips near [Harbor]?” or “who’s got pump-out open this weekend?” in the community feed, your listing surfaces to users in your radius — at the moment they’re deciding where to tie up.
🔔 A shoutout when you’ve got room
Push one message a month to nearby phones: “⛽ Diesel $3.89/gal at [Your Marina] — 3 transient slips open through Sunday. 2 miles up the creek.” You pick the day. We deliver it to boaters near your water.
Also included: Custom map pin with your logo and dock link · 0% commission tap-to-call · Pinned above every $49 listing in your harbor

There’s one top marina slot per harbor. The yard that holds it gets the boater searching by GPS and the last-minute transient who didn’t call ahead. Whoever claims it first keeps it until they cancel.

FAQ
Good — this catches the Tuesday transient, the fall cruiser heading south, and the local who needs fuel but doesn’t know you’re five minutes closer than the highway station. Those runs don’t show up in your slip log on their own.
You don’t pay for 14 days. Your dashboard shows every view, call tap, and direction request. If it’s not driving ramp traffic, walk away.
There’s one top slot per harbor. If it’s taken, we’ll tell you straight. If it’s open, first claim holds it.
Those platforms take a cut and list every marina in the region. This is the boater already on the water near your creek — on an app built for the Shore, not a national aggregator.
No. 0% commission. The call goes straight to your dock office.
The next yard we call might take it.
