Can boat owners book a marina berth online in Australia?

Yes. A marina running BerthPoint publishes live availability on its own website, so a visiting owner can select dates, enter length, beam and draft, see the nightly rate including GST, pay by card and receive written confirmation without anyone answering the phone.

How much does a casual visitor berth cost in Australia?

Casual visitor berths are usually priced per metre of vessel length per night, with a minimum charge, and shore power either metered or charged as a flat nightly rate. Peak periods, long weekends and events commonly attract a seasonal loading. Each marina sets its own tariff and BerthPoint prices every enquiry against it automatically.

How do I put a booking system on my marina's existing website?

One line of script. The BerthPoint booking widget embeds inside your existing WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or custom site, renders in your own colours, and takes the payment inside your page — the visitor never leaves your website. If you would rather not touch the site, we host a branded booking page and you link a Book a berth button to it.

Does the booking check whether the boat actually fits the berth?

Yes. Every request is fit-checked against berth length overall, beam and charted depth before it can be confirmed, so a 6.4m beam catamaran is never sold a 5.0m berth and a deep-draft yacht is never sent to a shallow arm.

What happens after the booking is confirmed?

The stay lands in the reservations calendar and the dockmaster's mobile diary, the berth is held, the licence conditions and welcome pack are issued, insurance is captured, and gate access is generated for the exact stay window. On departure the metered power and water reads close out the tax invoice.

Anything the dockmaster should know

Vessel insurance

Not compulsory to submit a request, but almost every Australian marina requires a current certificate of currency with a minimum $20 million third-party liability before the vessel comes alongside. Attach it here and the marina has it before you arrive.

Why marinas put berth booking online

Sell the night while the office is shut

Most casual berth enquiries arrive after hours, on a weekend, or from a boat already under way. An online booking page converts them instead of losing them to voicemail.

Fit-checked before it's confirmed

Length overall, beam and charted depth are validated against the actual berth register — no surprises when the vessel arrives on a rising breeze.

Paid up front

Deposit or full payment captured by card at confirmation, receipt issued automatically, no chasing on departure day.

Straight into the diary

The stay appears in the reservations calendar and on the dockmaster's phone with arrival time, side-to and power requirement.

Fills the gaps between contracts

Berths released for owner absences and berths between licences are sold as casual nights instead of sitting empty.
