For Australian marinas
Casual and visitor berth requests, fit-checked and sent straight to your dockmaster
We do not sell your berths. We qualify the customer, check the vessel actually fits, and hand you a complete request. You approve or decline, contract directly, and keep every dollar of the berth revenue.
How the Book a Berth network works
You keep 100% of the berth revenue
We never hold your inventory, never take the boater's berth payment and never contract on your behalf. Your rates, your conditions of entry, your invoice, your money.
Requests are fit-checked before you see them
Length overall, beam, draft and dates are captured and checked against your published berth dimensions. You do not receive enquiries that physically cannot fit.
You approve or decline — always
Every request lands with a nominated person at your marina. One click to approve, one to decline with a reason. Nothing is confirmed to the customer until you say yes.
Free to receive for the first 12 months
Founding network marinas pay nothing to receive and approve requests through to 30 June 2027. After that, a flat $22 including GST per confirmed booking, invoiced monthly in arrears, and waived entirely for BerthPoint subscribers.
Insurance and vessel details captured up front
Hull and third-party insurance status, vessel registration, owner contact and emergency contact arrive with the request, so nothing is chased on the jetty after dark.
Response times are measured
We record how long each request takes to answer, because a customer who waits is a customer lost — for you and for us.
You nominate the casual berths
You tell us which berths are released to casual and visitor bookings — permanently, for a sublet window while a licence holder is away, or on a weekday pattern — with the usable length, beam and depth on each. We only ever route requests that fit that pool, and you can withdraw a berth at any time.
What we ask of you
One thing matters more than any other: a customer who submits a request must get an answer. Yes or no, same day. An unanswered request damages your marina's reputation and ours.
- —Nominate one person (and a backup) to approve or decline requests.
- —Respond within 4 business hours where possible, and same day always.
- —Tell us how many berths you allocate to casual and visitor berthing, and the dimensions of each.
- —Keep your published berth dimensions, nightly rate card and conditions of entry current with us.
- —Contract directly with the customer and take payment under your own terms.
- —Tell us when the marina is full so we stop sending requests for those dates.
