Dockwa+ is Changing the Game for Boaters

Picture this: It’s day one of your long weekend cruise. You’re tied up at your favorite marina, the kind that feels like a second home. The sun’s sinking low, casting golden light across the water. You’ve got your feet up, a cold drink in hand, and the best part? The next three stops are already dialed in—dockage and fuel deals locked down, reservations confirmed, and a note in your phone with the name of that lobster roll spot you’ve been dreaming about since last summer.

That kind of effortless cruising? That’s what Dockwa+ is all about. Whether you're a weekend warrior or planning an epic multi-week adventure, Dockwa+ is built to make your time on the water smoother, smarter, and a whole lot more rewarding.

So, what exactly is Dockwa+?

Dockwa+ is a premium membership designed by boaters for boaters who want a better way to cruise. It layers smart tools and exclusive perks on top of Dockwa’s core booking experience, so planning, reserving, and saving becomes second nature. Here's what has members buzzing:

Save on Slips and Fuel

Dockwa+ unlocks exclusive savings where it matters most: dockage and fuel. From discounted overnights to limited-time mooring promos, members get access to deals at fan-favorite marinas around the country. Cruising the Chesapeake? Hanging in Newport for the weekend? Summer swing through the San Juans? With Dockwa+, your cruising dollars stretch further so you can spend less time budgeting for slips and more time enjoying docktails (you’re welcome).

And when it comes to fueling up, we’ve got you covered there too. Fuel prices can sneak up fast, but Dockwa+ members get access to exclusive discounts at participating marinas helping you trim the tab on even the longest legs of your cruise.

The Cruise Plan Tool that Dynamically Manages Your Destinations

Remember the chaos of planning a cruise with sticky notes, screenshots, and a foggy mental map of where you’re headed? The Dockwa Cruise Plan tool takes all that scattered info and gives it a home.

With Dockwa+, you can create unlimited itineraries by importing your confirmed reservations, adding placeholders for upcoming stops, and jotting down personal notes like “Tricky approach - study charts the night before” or “Tommy’s birthday - dinner resy at 6PM!” It’s your cruise plan, only smarter, tidier, and built to evolve with your trip.

Is Dockwa+ Right for You?

Let’s put it this way: If you book more than a couple of nights on the water each season, or if you’re a sucker for a good deal at the fuel dock, Dockwa+ will likely pay for itself pretty fast.

Because let’s be honest: cruising is fun, but the logistics can be a lot. Tracking down rates, toggling between websites, and screenshotting random insights about destinations can turn trip planning into a part-time job. Dockwa+ is built to cut through the noise and make your time on the water smoother, cheaper, and, dare we say, more fun?!

This isn’t just another boating membership. It’s not about perks for the sake of prestige. It’s for boaters who love the journey and want tools that help every mile feel a little more effortless. So if you're still hopping between apps, spreadsheets, and fuel price forums like it’s 2013… maybe it’s time to hop aboard.
