When you're out on the water, knowledge passed on from fellow active captains can help keep you and your crew safe, and help you avoid businesses that might make your weekend cruise hell on high water. Luckily it's easy to see what boaters near you have to say about marinas everywhere.
We'll cut to the chase – follow the steps below. Comments? Questions? Email becky@dockwa.com.
Finding online marina reviews is easy:
Visit Marinas.com
Search for your marina name or location of interest in the search bar
Every marina profile reflects its star rating
Click on the star rating in the marina profile to read comments from boaters who have experience with the marina
Download the free Dockwa app or visit dockwa.com and search for your destination
Every Dockwa partner marina's profile will reflect a star rating
Click on the star rating in the marina profile to read comments from boaters who have experience with the marina
The obvious next step: add your own marina review!
If you reserved through Dockwa:
Once your reservation is complete, you'll get an email asking you to review your stay
If you already have a Marinas.com account, log in. If you do not yet have a Marinas.com account, click the link in that email and you will be prompted to create one.
Clicking the link in the email connects your Dockwa reservation to your Marinas.com account, and your review will appear as "Verified" to other boaters.
Select a star rating and write your review! Be fair: marinas are not responsible for the weather, noisy neighbors, or nearby restaurants. Feel free to include that awesome intel in your review, but try to base your star rating on the marina's facilities and staff.
If you didn't reserve through Dockwa:
Create your Marinas.com account
Search for the marina you'd like to review
Look for the red "Write a Review" button (depending on how much information is in the marina's profile, you may need to scroll)
Follow the prompts and submit your review. As mentioned above: marinas are not responsible for the weather, noisy neighbors, or nearby restaurants. Feel free to include that awesome intel in your review, but try to base your star rating on the marina's facilities and staff.
