Big month. Dockwa's new Dockwalk experience is live for every marina on the Storage module — the daily dock walk, done right. And Dockwa Insights has been rebuilt: your reservation performance, contract status, and leads pipeline, all visible in one place. Below that: a fuel pricing strategy piece, seven features worth turning on, and more.

The Modern Dockwalk Has Arrived

Most marinas still do the daily dock walk the same way they did 30 years ago: clipboard, pen, whoever's on shift hoping they can read their own handwriting by the time they get back to the office.

That's a solved problem now.

Dockwa's native Dockwalk tool turns the daily dock inspection into a mobile-first, timestamped process. Auto-advance navigation moves your dockmaster from slip to slip automatically. A one-tap flag system sends issues directly to the office — no sticky notes, no radio calls, no "tell someone about the broken cleat on B-12." A full audit trail logs every check with the user, device, and timestamp. It's all built into the Dockwa iOS app your team already uses.

For large marinas, the time impact is real: dock walks that used to take 2+ hours on a clipboard run in under 30 minutes. For owners and GMs, the audit trail is your insurance compliance record — available any time you need it, not buried in a filing cabinet.
