If you’re not seeing availability for your requested dates in Dockwa, don’t worry— this doesn’t always mean the marina is fully booked. There are a few common reasons why availability may not appear.
Possible Reasons
Marina Rates Configuration
The marina may not have set up rates for your specific dates yet.
Most marinas set up their rates on a yearly basis. Toward the end of the year, they usually begin configuring rates for the following year.
If you’re searching too far in advance, the marina may not have extended its rates into the new season yet.
Dock rates and mooring rates are managed separately. This means you may see availability for one, but not the other.
Boat Size Restrictions
If your boat’s length, beam, draft, or height does not fit within the marina’s configured parameters, availability will not appear.
This doesn’t always mean the marina can’t accommodate you— contact the marina directly to confirm availability.
What You Can Do
Try a different option: If you were searching for a Mooring, try selecting Dock instead (or vice versa). This is only applicable if the marina offers both options.
Contact the marina directly: Call the marina to confirm availability. Since each marina manages their own rates and availability, contacting them is often the fastest way to get accurate information.
Search nearby marinas: Use the Dockwa marina search tool to explore alternative marinas in your area that may have availability.
