Top 10 Reasons To List Your Dock
It’s boating season — time to list your dock. Yes, anyone that owns waterfront property can list! If you have a dock that you don’t use every day, now’s your chance to list it and rent it out to needy boaters and water enthusiasts. Check out the top ten reasons to list your dock and make the waterways more accessible for all.
1. Turn Your Dock Into an Asset
Dockshare is a free listing platform that allows you to turn your dock into passive income. You get to set your own rates and manage your bookings so that you can comfortably rent out your dock to boaters looking to tie up-, all while receiving extra income. Your dock just might be your biggest untapped asset!
2. Connect With the Boating Community
We love the tight-knit community among boaters and want to spread this camaraderie through our platform. Even if you don’t have a boat in the water, you can still access the community by renting out your dock. Renting opens a line of communication, gives boaters a private space to dock, and opens up access to docking for others who wish to join the boating community. Some of our boaters even treat their hosts to occasional cruises.
3. Keep Your Dock in Use
Docks require a lot of maintenance and unused docks can quickly fall into disrepair. Renting out your dock promotes regular surveillance and maintenance that could save you time and money in the long run.
4. Set Your Own Rates
Dockshare allows you to list your dock at whatever rate you choose. This flexibility allows you to charge whatever price you think is fair and influence prices for docking in your local area. It also allows you to be in charge of your own income, by setting daily, weekly, and monthly rates.
5. Support Local Businesses
After a long day of fun in the sun, many boaters want to make a stop at a local restaurant to relax. Renting your space can allow boaters to tie up at your dock and walk to a nearby destination when public spaces are filled. This creates more traffic for local businesses and for your private business in renting.
6. Join the Sharing Community
The Sharing Economy is gaining traction throughout the world and helps individuals create their own revenue. We share homes, cars, goods, and now docks! This pools resources and contributes to sustainable living that benefits everyone.
7. Passive Income is the Best Income
Not only is Dockshare a new source of income for dock owners, but it is a source of passive income that requires little maintenance and energy. You could be traveling or watching TV while still collecting income as boaters rent out your dock space – it’s that easy!
8. Give Boaters More Choice on Where to Tie Up
We believe that the boating community represents freedom on the water. You can give these boaters even more freedom by renting out your space. They can now have the choice on whether they want to rent publicly or privately, choose exactly where they want to dock, and which host they want to rent from when choosing a space to dock. Oftentimes, a private dock can be much more convenient than a public one that is farther away from the destination.
9. Support Local Travel Economy
Boaters love to explore new waterways! When they arrive in a new area with their trailer, they want to put their boat in the water right away and get to exploring. Renting your dock gives boaters more flexible options while on vacation and allows them to spend time in the area which boosts the local economy.
10. Support Black-Owned Small Businesses
As a small business established by a black owner, we encourage others to support minority-owned businesses. It’s as simple as engaging in the services and products they offer. The opportunities are endless for embracing all — something we strive for each day as our mission at Dockshare.
Visit us here to see how easy the process is. Join the team of private dock owners who understand the value of the Dockshare platform and have already joined our community for one, if not all, of these reasons.
