A buyer taps your marina on their phone from the dock. They want slip C-12, but your template site shows a static PDF. They leave. A marina website platform renders interactive berth maps, syncs live availability from your reservation system, and lets customers book without calling your office. It pulls inventory straight from your dealer management system, auto-generates location pages for every service area, and syndicates listings to Boats.com and BoatTrader. Off-the-shelf WordPress themes can't do any of that. Your competitors close berth bookings and boat leads while you're still manually updating spreadsheets and fielding the same availability questions over the phone.

常見問題
How does the berth booking system work?
Customers browse an interactive SVG map of your marina, see live slip availability with pricing, and reserve directly online. The system handles seasonal rate logic, collects deposits through Stripe, and fires automated confirmation emails. Your staff manages everything from an admin dashboard — no double-bookings, no phone tag.
Can you sync inventory from my existing dealer management system?
Yes. We build API integrations with DockMaster, BoatWizard, Marina Controller, and most other DMS platforms. Inventory syncs automatically — prices, photos, specs, and availability stay current across your website and marketplace feeds. You can override individual fields manually without breaking the sync connection.
Will my boats appear on Boats.com and BoatTrader?
We configure API feed exports to Boats.com, BoatTrader, YachtWorld, and other major marine marketplaces. Your website becomes the single source of truth — update once, it publishes everywhere. Feed formatting, image optimization, and listing validation are all handled during the build.
How long does it take to build a marina website platform?
Most marina platforms launch in 8–10 weeks. Straightforward dealer sites with inventory sync can ship closer to 6 weeks. Complex multi-location marinas with custom booking logic and multiple DMS integrations may run 10–12 weeks. We scope this precisely during discovery — timeline surprises aren't something we do.
Do I need to update inventory manually?
Not if you're on a DMS — sync handles it. If you manage inventory manually, the admin panel lets you add, edit, and remove listings through a clean interface. Update pricing, swap photos, toggle availability, reorder featured boats. No code, no waiting on a developer.
What makes this better than a marine website template?
Templates can't render interactive berth maps, sync with a DMS, or handle reservation payment logic. Our platform runs on Next.js for speed and SEO, uses Supabase for real-time data, and connects directly to your operations. The result: 95+ Lighthouse scores, 5× more leads than template sites, and a booking system that actually works.
