How to request an assignment for a slip or mooring

Share your preferences with the marina when booking or after submitting your reservation

Whether you're requesting a specific slip, mooring, or location within the marina, Dockwa makes it easy to share your preferences. You can enter your special request while submitting your reservation, or message the marina afterward if you've already booked. This article walks you through both options step-by-step.

Please note: Marinas do their best to accommodate requests, but assignments are not guaranteed.


Before You Submit Your Reservation Request

If you know the slip or mooring you’d prefer, you can let the marina know while filling out their booking form.

How to Add a Special Request:

  1. Fill out the marina's booking form.

  2. On the last step before submitting, look for the box labeled "Special Requests."

  3. Type in your preferred slip or mooring assignment (e.g., “port-side tie, near fuel dock if available").

  4. Complete and submit your reservation request.


After You’ve Submitted a Reservation

If you've already submitted your reservation request but forgot to share your preferences with the marina, no problem! You can message the marina directly. Please see the related article on how to do that below.
