Step back from the day-to-day. We run the operation.
Our marina management offering lets owners step back from the hustle and bustle of running a marina. We focus on the highest possible return for the ownership group, the best possible customer experience for the boaters, and the best terms in the business. We don't cut corners.
Everything between the channel and the bank account.
We take operational responsibility for the property under a written management agreement. You keep ownership of every decision that matters — capital, positioning, exit. We run the rest.

Slip and transient operations, dockmaster staffing, training, scheduling, customer service standards, reservation system implementation.

Fuel and retail

Clear benchmarks. Reported every month.
Every operational decision is benchmarked against ownership return — pricing, slip mix, capex sequencing, vendor terms. We optimize for the owner, not for a portfolio average.
From the first phone call to the last fuel-up of the season, the boater experience is what compounds into multi-year revenue. We invest in it explicitly.
P&L, KPI dashboard, capital project status, customer satisfaction tracking — delivered to owners every month with a partner on the line for any question.

Common questions
- What does full-service marina management include?
- Everything that happens between a customer pulling into your channel and money landing in your account: slip and transient operations, dockmaster staffing and training, fuel, retail, F&B oversight if applicable, accounting and reporting, permit and regulatory compliance, capital project oversight, marketing, and reservations technology. You receive monthly P&L and operations reports; we handle the day-to-day.
- Will you keep my existing staff?
- Whenever possible, yes. Strong existing teams are an asset and we'd rather invest in them than replace them. We assess in the first 30 days and bring in additions or changes only where genuinely needed.
- How long is a typical management contract?
- Three to five years is the most common term, with performance and termination provisions on both sides. We don't believe in handcuff contracts — if we're not earning the engagement, you should be able to leave.
- Do you handle capital projects and dock replacements?
- Yes. We've managed everything from full dock replacements and dredge projects to clubhouse builds and fuel system overhauls. We act as the owner's representative and bring our own vetted contractors when useful.
- What technology do you use to run marinas?
- We're platform-agnostic but most often work with Molo, DockMaster, or Marinaware depending on the property. We handle the implementation if you're starting fresh and the migration if you're switching.
- How do you measure success?
- Slip occupancy, transient nights, fuel margin, total revenue per slip, customer satisfaction (we measure it), and net operating income. We agree on the targets before we start and report against them every month.
