Waitlist Management

Long-Term BerthWaitlist Management

From online applications to berth allocation, manage your entire waitlist digitally. Configurable eligibility, flexible payments, holiday management, and automated renewals — fair, transparent, and effortless.

Waitlists Shouldn't Be a Headache

Most marinas still manage their waitlists with spreadsheets, paper forms, and memory. Applicants ring up constantly asking where they sit in the queue. Berths sit empty for weeks between tenants. Renewals get forgotten until the last moment.

Paper-Based Chaos

Spreadsheets get outdated, files go missing, and there's no single source of truth for your team.

Wasted Time

Endless phone calls from applicants asking for updates. Manual chasing of renewals every season.

Lost Revenue

Berths sit vacant between tenants because the handover process is slow and manual.

Offer & Allocation

Holidays & Suspensions

Flexible Allocation Management

Berth holders heading away can request holiday periods, optionally making their berth available for visitor bookings and earning additional revenue. Staff approve or reject requests and can create holidays directly. Allocations can also be suspended administratively with automatic re-activation dates.

Mid-Season Changes

Adapt Without Disruption

Berth holders can request a boat change mid-season. The system validates the new vessel against mooring restrictions and dimensions before staff approve the swap. Early termination requests, allocation modifications, and date adjustments are all handled from the same interface.
