Visiting East Coast Marinas
Last October Dockwa sent me down the coast at 50MPH in a 42' Yellowfin, and I had a blast talking to boaters, marina teams, and getting a taste of what delivery captains experience on a regular basis. For this trip we wanted to visit more marinas, and one week just wasn't going to cut it. So I'm traveling up the coast from Key West to Newport, this time on 4 wheels instead of 3 massive Yamaha engines.
I'll be popping into Dockwa partner marinas to take high-res photos, some GoPro video, and as soon as a new piece of equipment arrives, as much 360 Approach video as possible. This trip isn't exclusive, however: since Dockwa acquired Marinas.com in January, the marina world is our oyster and I have carte blanche to visit any marina along the way. Want your marina featured on our social channels, and new, free high-res photos? Quick: Claim your Marinas.com marina profile (free!), then email info@marinas.com to inquire about getting on the schedule.
The Map & Schedule
The map below (or click here) will get updated as I make my way up the coast, but pinned already are some of the towns, marinas, yacht clubs, and shipyards on our list of Dockwa and Marinas.com stops.
