Owners looking for a slip, dry-stack storage, a haul-out, or service search Google first — and most marina sites are years out of date, slow, and impossible to book on. If yours can't answer "do you have room?" fast, they call the marina down the waterway.
Old photos, wrong rates, and no sign of availability make owners assume you're full — or gone.
A form from 2012 or just a phone number loses the owner who wanted to book at 9pm on a Sunday.
Competitors own the map pack, so the searches that should be yours go to them.
Owners trust their boat to the marina with the reputation — and right now that's the yard down the water.
Slips, dry-stack, fuel, service, and current rates — clear on any phone.
Turn "do you have room?" into a lead you can actually work and fill.
Own "marina / dry-stack / boatyard near me" in your stretch of coast.
Build the trust that fills slips and keeps the service bays booked.
Keep the yard busy in the off-season with the work that pays.
Fast, secure, and always current — one team accountable.
An owner needs a slip for the season, a dry-stack spot for the center console, a haul-out before a survey, or a yard that can turn a bottom job around fast. Every one of those searches starts on Google, on a phone, and the boater judges you in the first few seconds. Most marina and boatyard sites lose that moment: years out of date, slow to load, and impossible to book or request a quote on.
Sailfish builds fast custom websites, WordPress development, and marine SEO for marinas and boatyards across South Florida. We put your slips, storage, and yard services front and center, load them fast, and make the next step obvious whether the boater wants to reserve dockage or request a haul-out quote.
A marina or yard is rarely one business. You might rent slips, run dry-stack, sell fuel, haul and store, and run a service department, and your site has to make each one findable without becoming a maze.
Explore our services or the full range of marine industries we build for. Then send us your current site for a free audit and we'll show you exactly where owners give up.
It depends on how many revenue lines you run, whether you need live booking or quote requests, and how much content moves over. A single-service yard site costs less than a full marina with dockage, dry-stack, fuel, and a service department. Our cost guide lays out real ranges, and a free audit gets you a firm figure.
Most marina and boatyard sites launch in four to eight weeks. A focused site for one yard moves quickly; a multi-service marina with booking, quote forms, and a large content migration takes longer. We give you a milestone schedule at kickoff so the timeline is never a mystery and launch day is never a surprise.
Yes. We wire real-time slip and dry-stack reservations through Dockwa or a custom flow, and build separate quote-request paths for haul-outs and yard work that route to the right crew. Boaters book what is instant and request what needs a look, without one clogging the other.
We build marine SEO into every page, targeting your harbor, inlet, and the towns owners search from, with your dockage, storage, and yard services front-loaded in titles and headings. We never guarantee rankings, but we build the structure and speed Google rewards. Send us your site for a free audit of where you stand now.
Yes. The domain, the WordPress install, the design, and all content are yours outright, with nothing locked to us. Move hosting or agencies whenever you like and it all travels with you. We are happy to keep hosting and maintaining it, but that is your choice, never a leash.
For most marinas and yards, yes. WordPress handles booking integrations, large media, and marine SEO better than locked-in builders, and it keeps you in control. Our platform comparison breaks down why for marine businesses. Send us your current site and the free audit will flag what your platform is costing you.
We grade your speed, mobile experience, how easy it is to inquire, your Google listing, and reviews — then show you what's emptying your slips.
