Marine Manager Maritime ### "Dockwa - Easy to Use Force Multiplier" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 4, 2021 We rely on Dockwa to manage our transient mooring and slip rentals. Dockwa allows our dock team to focus on providing top service to our on-site customers and not being distracted by often lengthy phone calls for slip or mooring rentals. In effect, Dockwa gives our team an extra 'set of hands' by handling the collection of the minutia related to rental of property assets. Dockwa notifies us almost instantly of the arrival of new reservation requests so that our team can respond quickly. Pros Dockwa provides our dock team with tools that quickly notify us about incoming reservation requests, changes or cancellations. Being able to respond to our customer quickly within Dockwa is a game-changer and increases the level of customer satisfaction throughout the season. Cons My only thought is that reservation details (customer / boat name, boat details) are not always 'in focus' - the operator has to switch to a separate tab to view them. This is a very minor inconvenience. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros The Ease of use while entering in information. Cons There is a need for a more comprehensive marina management system for both guest (transient) and seasonal boaters Reasons for choosing Dockwa The management of the company and their response to questions and their ability to customize the program to suit our needs Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Chair of Boat Basin Committee Maritime ### "Game changer for our marina management" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 6, 2021 Improved our oversight of our staff, especially important in our organization where we only have volunteer managers. We are also able to give our customers better service by taking reservation on-line rather than relying on e-mails and phone calls. Getting better visibility to the market was an added plus. Pros We operate an seasonal community owned marina with a mixture of long-term and daily slip rentals. Prior to installing Dockwa, we were dependent upon our dock masters keeping manual records which led to confusion and concerns about integrity. Since we started using Dockwa we have near complete verification of slip assignments, payments and can start taking reservations during the off-season. It is early March as I right this review and we are over 50% booked for this coming summer! Another plus is that Dockwa brings in business as it is becoming the go to place for booking boating slips. Might also add that our dock masters were not computer mavens when we started with Dockwa, but with a bit of help from the Dockwa staff they were able to learn how to use the product and become very comfortable with it. Cons The reports provide lots of information that can be downloaded into Excel, however there is no way to customize the fields you want in your reports. The result is each report has to be manipulated to make it usable. Another small gripe is that pricing can only be set by sending the information to the Dockwa staff. Reasons for choosing Dockwa Much more comprehensive tool for managing slip reservations, payments and assignments.

Response from Vendor March 10, 2021 Robert, thank you so much for leaving us a review! I'm so glad you're getting value out of being on Dockwa.

PG Paul G. Owner-President Maritime ### "Dockwa made transient reservations much easier" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 3, 2021 As a marina, the Dockwa software made the entire job of transient reservations much easier. It was surprising to me that the name recognition of the brand "Dockwa" was nearly universal. Pros Transient boating customers seem to prefer interacting with booking software more than with th destination property because it is easier, more efficient, and more impersonal Cons I needed to slightly modify my internal control system Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Harbor Master Law Enforcement ### "Menemsha Harbor" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 14, 2020 Dockwa has been a great addition to our marina. We have increased our revenue and our customer experience has been made easier with this software. Pros The ease of use and available suport are my favorite parts of this software. It has made my job easier to have everything, both Transient and Residential on one database for organization purposes. Cons I would like it to be more tailerable to specific marinas needs.

Senior Accountant Government Administration ### "Boaters Love it, Users Love It!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 3, 2020 The implementation of the software was very straightforward and went smoothly thanks to the assistance of our support adviser. The customer service from DockWa is always top notch, and the system is easy for our dockmasters to use. It has helped us streamline our process and really focus on keeping good lines of communication with our boaters. Pros Great user interface, hands-off payment processing, useful various reports, easy to communicate with boaters, accessible remotely. Cons Initially, the cost to use DockWa consisted of a percentage of our revenue, but recently an additional annual software fee was added. Also, this new base package is very slim on some basic features that would be very helpful to marinas that don't require the extra bells and whistles and advertising features. Switched from [MarinaOffice](https://www.capterra.com/p/98609/MarinaOffice/) More modern and efficient system.

It's simple, it keeps the requirements of my vessel and automatically books on my cc. Pros Our family are full time cruisers traveling on our sailboat. We love that Dockwa completely streamlines the check-in process that is required with most marinas, also you know the amenities, and what other peoples opinions of the marina is through Dockwa reviews. Cons Our only complaint is that not enough marinas have signed up to book through Dockwa yet. But we are waiting.
