Boating is many things: a weekend escape, a lifelong passion, a doorway to new places and familiar ones alike. Dockwa+ was created to make all of that feel a little smoother and a lot more rewarding. Whether you're plotting a long-awaited cruise, stealing a few hours on the water after work, or simply topping off the tanks before the next adventure, this membership helps your time afloat go further. From meaningful savings to smarter planning tools and opportunities to connect with other boaters, Dockwa+ is designed to fit seamlessly into the rhythms you already love.

Dockwa+ members save an average of $126 per redeemed transient deal. For most boaters, a single discounted stay covers the entire annual cost of membership.
Dockwa+ deals are available at participating marinas nationwide, and you can redeem as many deals as you’d like, there’s no limit. Because marinas opt in and out of promotions throughout the year, the list of available deals is always evolving. Many new offers go live as regional boating seasons open, during shoulder months, or when marinas want to attract more visitors.
You can see all active deals at any time by opening the Dockwa app and tapping “Dockwa Deals” on the homepage.
Dockwa+ Deals change throughout the year as marinas adjust their promotions for upcoming seasons, availability, and boater demand. So if your go-to destination isn’t offering a deal today, keep checking back, marinas add new promotions regularly.
Insider tip: Your feedback matters. Marinas pay close attention when boaters express interest in seeing a Dockwa+ Deal, and many take that into account when planning future promotions. Marinas appreciate knowing what their customers want, so don't hesitate to let them know you would be interested!
Insider tip: Search results prioritize deals. Marinas running active Dockwa Deals appear first in search results, making it easier to spot new promotions, compare options, and find savings in destinations you already planned to visit

At its core, Dockwa+ is about making the boating life a little easier, more affordable, and more enjoyable. It’s built for the cruiser charting new waters, the weekend explorer chasing perfect sunsets, the day-tripper who knows every harbor within 20 miles, and the boater who never misses a chance to top off the tanks before heading out. For many members, the value shows up fast (often with the very first reservation or fuel stop) but the real magic happens over time: finding a new favorite marina because it happened to have a deal, meeting fellow boaters at a Dockwa+ meetup, or simply feeling more confident knowing you’ve got a plan (and some savings) behind your trip.
Dockwa+ isn’t about changing how you boat, it’s about supporting the way you already love to be on the water. And for most boaters, that makes it one of the easiest upgrades you’ll ever make.
