The season is underway. And based on everything we're seeing in our platform data, it's going to be a strong one — even in a year when diesel crossed five dollars a gallon.
Here's what's new, what's coming, and what's worth doing before the busiest weeks of the summer.
Diesel hit $5.64 a gallon this spring — up 57% from a year ago. Boaters know it. They're checking prices before they leave the dock, calculating range, and deciding where to stop. The good news: participation is holding. The boats are in the water. The question isn't whether they'll go out — it's whether they'll pull up to your dock.
We wrote up a full breakdown of where fuel prices stand, what's driving them, and what operators can do right now: transparent pricing, loyalty discounts, promotional pump days, and how Dockwa Deals puts your marina in front of boaters actively filtering for value.
