Platform summaries

SupaSailing — Marina Module

What it is: Marina operations as part of a broader modular platform that also covers yacht management, charter, broker CRM, and shipyard. Berth allocation, contract and booking automation, demand-aware pricing for transient, billing and POS integration, guest self-service portals, environmental compliance helpers (Blue Flag, GDPR).

Strong on: Integration with the broader yacht ecosystem (a vessel record in the marina module is the same vessel record in the broker, fleet, and refit modules), multi-language native, modern web UX.

Considerations: Marina-only install base is smaller than dedicated marina platforms. The right fit when the operation extends beyond pure marina management.

Marina Master (per public information)

What it is: Long-standing marina management platform with reference customers across European and North American marinas.

Public strengths: Feature depth in berth management, billing, and reservations. Mature reference base.

Considerations: Per public information, primarily focused on marina operations rather than integrated yacht ecosystem coverage.

Pandora (per public information)

What it is: Marina-focused platform with publicly highlighted marina operational workflows.

Public strengths: Marina-specific feature focus, including berth management and reservation workflows.

Considerations: Scope is publicly positioned around marina operations rather than wider yacht ecosystem.

Blueshell (per public information)

What it is: Modern marina management platform with publicly highlighted modern UX and regional reference customers.

Public strengths: Modern UX, marina operations focus.

Considerations: Install base size depends on region. Specific feature depth should be confirmed via product demo.

StarnApp (per public information)

What it is: Modern marina and berth management platform with mobile-first positioning.

Public strengths: Mobile-first marina operations, modern app design.

Considerations: Younger product per public information; reference base and integration depth should be confirmed.

How to decide

1. Is your operation marina-only or broader?

If your operation is purely marina management (no yacht management, no broker activity), dedicated marina platforms may serve you well. If your operation extends to yacht management, charter operations, or yacht brokerage alongside marina activity, SupaSailing's shared data model across modules may consolidate workflows that would otherwise require multiple platforms.

2. What is your reservation channel mix?

Marinas increasingly receive transient bookings through online channels (NavStation, Marinas.com, OneOcean, marina booking apps). Confirm with each vendor what integration depth is available for the channels relevant to your operation.

3. What environmental compliance matters?

Mediterranean marinas commonly require Blue Flag compliance helpers, GDPR documentation for guest data, and environmental reporting. These are commonly covered by modern platforms; confirm specifics with each vendor.

Frequently asked questions

Can SupaSailing replace a dedicated marina platform?

For operations that need marina alongside yacht management, broker, or charter, SupaSailing's marina module covers core operations within a shared data model. For pure marina operations with no broader yacht activity, dedicated marina platforms may have deeper marina-only feature depth.

What about Blue Flag compliance?

Several modern platforms including SupaSailing publish Blue Flag compliance helpers. Specifics should be confirmed with each vendor.

Which integrates with marina booking apps?

Integration depth varies by platform. SupaSailing publishes integration with major channels; confirm specifics with each vendor.

Is migration between marina platforms possible?

Yes, with CSV-based data export. Migrations between modern web platforms are typically completed in a few weeks.

Which platform is best for a small marina (under 50 berths)?

Smaller marinas often benefit from simpler, focused tools. Each platform publishes a starter tier — request specific pricing for small-marina configurations.

Berth Booking and Billing: The Make-or-Break Features

When marina operators shortlist software in 2026, the two capabilities that decide the purchase are almost always berth booking and automated billing. A modern marina management platform should handle both natively, without spreadsheets or a second tool:

• Real-time berth map and availability — an interactive dock plan with live occupancy, vessel-dimension matching and drag-and-drop assignments.
• Online reservations — transient and seasonal berth bookings with instant confirmation, deposits and cancellation rules.
• Automated recurring invoicing — moorage contracts billed monthly or annually, with metered utilities (electricity, water) added automatically.
• Integrated payments — card and SEPA collection, reminders and outstanding-balance tracking without manual chasing.
• Occupancy analytics — berth-level revenue and occupancy reports to price each season correctly.

SupaSailing's Marina module covers this entire berth-to-invoice cycle in one dashboard — berth management, online reservations, utilities tracking and automated invoicing — with plans from €149/month and a free tier to start. For Mediterranean marinas juggling seasonal peaks, the combination of a live berth plan and hands-off billing is typically what recovers the most staff hours every week.
