Dockwa

Fort Lauderdale’s maritime roots run deep. Often referred to as the "Yachting Capital of the World," its history is steeped in tales of fishing fleets, early boatbuilders, and a vibrant, evolving boating culture that spans generations. From the winding canals that earned it the nickname "Venice of America" to hosting one of the world's largest boat shows, Fort Lauderdale is a beacon for boaters far and wide. Dockwa Co-founder & Chief Business Officer, Matthew Fradette, will be at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this Friday, November 1st.

Newport, where Dockwa was dreamed up over 10 years ago, will always hold a special place in our hearts. Each year, the Newport International Boat Show provides the opportunity to celebrate our homeport and the latest innovations in the marine industry, while reflecting on our own Dockwa journey. It’s a tradition we truly cherish. This year's event was one for the books! The energy, excitement, and pure passion from cruisers who came by our booth reminded us why we do what we do — it's all about our shared love for the water, the thrill of discovery, and the vibrant boating community that inspires us every day. To all the boaters, marina partners, and friends who joined us this year — thank you for making the show truly unforgettable! #NIBS24 #NewportInternationalBoatShow #BoatingIndustry #Dockwa #Saas #CommunityEngagement

Our Coast of Maine Trivia Night made quite a splash - We're proud to announce that we raised over $2,700 for SailMaine’s community sailing programs! The event brought the local boating community together to support and celebrate SailMaine's mission to get more people out on the water. It was incredible to witness the high energy, friendly competition and coastal camaraderie throughout the evening. From a fun-filled happy hour to each round of trivia, this event was truly one for the books! At Dockwa, we believe that spending time on the water strengthens our relationship with nature and each other. This philosophy drives everything we do, including our support for incredible organizations like SailMaine. Thank you to everyone who made this fundraiser a success! #CommunityImpact #Dockwa #FundraisingEvents #MarineIndustry

What would you do with an extra hour—or even three—in your day? We hear this all the time: "I spend too much time in the office and not enough time with boaters on the docks." As the busy season approaches for seasonal marinas, operators often find themselves overwhelmed with tasks like: 🛥 Filling last-minute staffing gaps 🛥 Ensuring fuel tanks are full for eager boaters ready to hit the water 🛥 Stocking the ship store in anticipation of a holiday weekend 🛥 Grooming the property to ensure it's in pristine condition for guests 🛥 Double-checking inventory to serve as many boaters as possible The list is seemingly endless. But imagine saving time at the end of the day reconciling fuel tanks, determining inventory, and assessing profit margins. Time that could be better spent elsewhere — like on the docks delighting your guests. Our fuel inventory and point-of-sale tools are designed specifically for marinas. You'll be amazed at how much more you can accomplish. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gAn5SNN4

A new chapter in boating starts now. At Dockwa, we believe that time spent on the water enriches our relationships with nature and each other. This philosophy drives everything we do, from the features we create, to the work environment we foster, to the continuous evolution of our technology. Today, we are thrilled to announce the first feature release towards a groundbreaking collection of boater resources designed to enhance the precious time spent on the water. Without further ado, introducing the brand-new Dockwa homepage - officially available to boaters on all iOS devices. It’s beautifully designed to streamline vessel details, payments, reservations, and more, making logistic management a breeze. This homepage marks the start of a new era for our Dockwa boaters and the marine industry. We can’t wait to share what’s on the horizon...
