Know a Marina That Should Be on Dockwa?

Dockwa was built for boaters, by boaters. And as much as we'd love to be at every marina on the coast, the truth is that some of your favorite spots still aren't on the platform. That's where you come in.

If there's a marina you love but wish handled reservations, contracts, or fuel through Dockwa, you can make the introduction. We'll thank you with a full year of complimentary Dockwa+ membership. Refer up to three marinas and you could earn up to three years, on us.

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Think of the Marina

You already know the one. Maybe it's the place where:

  • You had to call three times, leave two voicemails, and finally reached someone who asked you to fax a form.
  • You emailed about availability and heard back weeks later: "Try calling us."
  • You arrived after hours and found your slip assignment handwritten on a whiteboard behind a locked office door.
  • You had to explain three times what size your boat is, and yes, you do need shore power.
  • You said to yourself (or yelled across the cockpit): "Why aren't they on Dockwa?"

Whether it was a minor hassle or a full-on docking disaster, we've all been there. Those are the marinas we're working to bring on board.

Step 2: Fill out and submit the referral form

Fill out the form below with your info and the marina's info. In the notes section, include two things: your relationship to the marina (homeport, frequent visitor, cruising stop, etc.) and your contact's role there (Dockmaster, GM, Owner, whoever you know). That context is what helps our team reach out warmly to start the conversation. 

Step 3: We'll take it from there

A member of team Dockwa will review your submission and may reach out to you to confirm a few clarifying details. Once your referral is qualified by our team, and the marina completes their first official Dockwa demo (no sign up required), you'll receive one year of complimentary Dockwa+ membershiip. Refer more marinas and you can stack up to three years total!

Why This Matters

The marinas that join Dockwa because of a boater referral are some of our best success stories. Not because we sold them, but because someone who actually ties up there, told them it was worth it. Every marina that joins strengthens the network and improves the experience for everyone on the water.

Questions? Drop us a line at marketing@dockwa.com.

Dockwa reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Boater Referral Program at any time without prior notice. Referrals must be direct, attributable, and result in a qualified demo with a marina that is new to Dockwa. By submitting the nomination form, you agree to be contacted by the Dockwa team and acknowledge that your information may be used in outreach to the referred marina. Dockwa+ membership will be issued following Sales qualification and completion of a qualified demo. All rewards and eligibility are subject to Dockwa’s verification and approval. Any abuse or misuse of the program may result in disqualification.
