Marina operations app

Run your whole marina from one phone.

A live berth map, a dock log that writes its own shift handovers, and a guest assistant that answers in any language. Built by a Piermaster, for the people on the pontoons.

Sound familiar?

A marina day still runs on radios and paper.

VHF CH 71

Constant radio calls

Nobody on the pontoon is quite sure which berth the next arrival is going to.

THE BOARD

A berth board on paper

Out of date the moment a boat moves, and only in one place.

SHIFT CHANGE

Handovers that get lost

What the night shift saw never quite reaches the morning crew.

"WI-FI CODE?"

The same guest questions

Wi-Fi, showers, fuel hours. Asked again and again, every single day.

The app

Everything your team needs, in their pocket.

One app for the office, the dock team and your guests. Each person sees what they need, and everyone sees the same live picture.

Today screen

Today

The whole day at a glance.

The first screen your staff see when they sign in: how full you are, who is coming and who is leaving.

  • Live occupancy, free berths, arrivals and departures
  • A countdown to the next departure, with berth and boat length
  • Berth requests from guests land in one inbox for the office
Berth map screen with colour-coded berths

Berth map

A live map of every berth.

We draw your real pontoons and berths. When one person moves a boat, everyone sees it straight away.

  • Built from your plan or an aerial photo of your marina
  • Free, occupied, arriving and out of use, colour-coded and labelled
  • Find any boat or berth in seconds; tap a berth to update it
Dock log screen with defects, incidents and a shift handover button

Dock log and handovers

Nothing gets lost between shifts.

Log it from the pontoon, and the handover writes itself at the end of the shift.

  • Log defects, incidents and tasks in two taps
  • AI writes the shift handover from the day's log and movements
  • A dated record of who did what, for managers and insurers
Guest page with marina information and assistant

Guest assistant

Guest questions, answered day and night.

Guests scan a QR code at the office or on the pontoon. No app to download and no account to create.

  • Answers come only from your marina's own information
  • Replies in the guest's own language
  • Change the Wi-Fi password once, and every answer updates

Built for every role

Everyone sees what they need. Nothing more.

Every staff member signs in with their own PIN, so guests never see staff information.

Questions

Good questions from the dock.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests scan a QR code and the guest page opens in their phone's browser. No account, no download.

Does it replace our booking or accounting system?

Dockhand runs your day-to-day operations: the berth map, the dock log, handovers and guest questions. It works alongside the booking or accounting software you already use.

What phones does it work on?

Any modern Android phone or iPhone, and tablets too. Staff can add it to their home screen so it opens like any other app.

We have moorings and buoys, not just berths.

No problem. We draw your marina as it really is, including moorings, buoys and visitor pontoons.

Can other marinas see our information?

No. Each marina has its own private space in Dockhand. Your staff, boats and logs are only visible to your team.

How long does setup take?

Most of it is on us. You fill in one setup form and send us your marina plan. We build your map, create your logins and train your team on a short video call.
