Docking Done Right: Making it easy to dock wherever, Whenever

Private dock options give current boaters new opportunities

Many boat owners know the struggle of finding a place to dock. Some are lucky enough to have their own private dock, but that limits them to just one location. Others depend on monthly rentals, marinas, or hauling the boat out after each trip—which can be both expensive and time-consuming. Thankfully, more private docks are now available to rent, giving boaters greater flexibility and more convenient options.

Here are some tips to ease your concerns during the docking process:

1. Making Stops

Boats are vehicles too—and the best days often include planned or spontaneous stops at restaurants, boardwalks, or attractions. Without nearby dock access, you’re stuck heading home, cleaning up, and driving instead. Dockshare makes it easier by offering private docks you can rent by the hour or day, so you can boat straight to your destination and enjoy the ride.

2. Boats for Transportation

Sometimes the fastest—and most fun—way to reach a waterfront destination is by boat. If you have access to a private dock, hopping in and boating there can be much easier than driving. In the past, limited docking made it more of a hassle. But now, with more boat parking options available, your boat becomes a convenient and exciting way to travel.

3. A More Affordable Option

Traditional marinas and mooring spots can be pricey, especially for larger boats. With Dockshare, dock owners set their own rates—hourly, daily, or monthly—giving you more pricing options beyond standard marina fees. Book a private dock and start saving.

4. Vacation

Boaters often bring their trailers to explore new lakes and waterways—but finding daily or weekly dock rentals can be tough and costly. Thanks to new technology, you can now book a private dock for your trip while planning the rest of your vacation. Dockshare also makes spontaneous stops at local attractions simple and stress-free.

5. Dock Owners

Unused docks used to sit idle, weathering away on waterfront properties—often with multiple empty slips going to waste. Now, these valuable assets can generate passive income for property owners. Join the growing community of private dock hosts helping make waterways more accessible for everyone.

Whether you are setting sail for a short lunch break or planning for a vacation on a waterfront property with your boating vessel, docking options should be top of mind.  Private docking opportunities are on the rise. Find yours today and get out on the water for a fun, easy and inexpensive experience.
