Marine business websites that book slips, service and sales

Flood Tide Digital designs and builds websites for marinas, boat dealers, marine service companies and marine product makers. We build clear rates and amenities pages, directions by land and water, service and membership pages, and booking and request forms that work on a phone. Pricing is starting at $4,000, and most builds take about 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch.

The job

What a marine website actually has to do

Boaters decide fast. They are checking the weather, looking for a slip for the weekend, or trying to get an engine fixed before a trip. They want an answer in a minute, often on a phone.

So the site has three jobs:

  1. 01

    Say what you offer, plainly. Slips, storage, fuel, service, boats or products.

  2. 02

    Answer the money and logistics questions. Rates, hours, location, and how to get there.

  3. 03

    Make the next step easy. Book, request service, or ask about a boat in a few taps.

Marinas

Marinas: rates, amenities and getting here

Put your rates and amenities on the site. Transient and long term slips, storage, fuel, power, pump out, ship's store, restaurants nearby. Then show how to get there, by road and by water. Jensen Marina pairs this with live local conditions, so boaters have a reason to check in before they head out.

Service companies

Service companies: explain the model, then book the job

If you run a service shop or a mobile fleet, the site has to explain what you cover and how it works, fast. EGA Marine brings the shop to the dock, so the site leads with that, then lays out each service and the BoatPro memberships, with booking on every page.

Getting here

Getting here and booking

Directions, hours and a booking or request form belong on every marina site, and they need to work one handed at the fuel dock.

Dealers and products

Dealers and marine product makers

If you sell boats or marine products, the site has to show the product well and make buying or inquiring simple. For KillerDock we built a new Shopify store for fish cleaning stations and dock furniture, with real footage up top and every build configurable. Building boats? See our boat builder page at /industries/boat-builders.

Process

How a build works

01 · DISCOVERY

We learn your business and your customers.

What you sell, who books, and what a good lead looks like.

02 · DESIGN

Homepage first, then everything.

You see the homepage at full fidelity before anything else gets built.

03 · BUILD & LAUNCH

Build, QA, launch.

Production build, redirects from your old URLs, analytics, and a clean launch.

Pricing

Starting at $4,000.

The price depends on how many pages you need and how much content we create with you.

Timeline: most builds take about 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. That is typical, not a hard rule. If you want the site live before the season or a boat show, tell us the date and we will plan backward from it.

Questions, answered

FAQ

How much does a marina or marine business website cost?

Starting at $4,000. The price depends on how many pages you need and how much content we create with you.

How long does it take?

Most builds take about 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. That is typical, not a hard rule. The biggest variable is how quickly photos, rates and decisions come back from your side.

Can the site take slip reservations or service requests?

Yes. We connect the reservation or scheduling tool you already use, or build a request form that sends you what you need to confirm.

Should we publish our rates?

Yes. Clear slip, storage and service rates save calls and bring in customers who already know the price.

What should a marine service company website include?

What you service and where, how your plans or memberships work, real reviews, and a booking or request form on every service page.

Do you build online stores for marine products?

Yes. We built KillerDock's Shopify store for fish cleaning stations and dock furniture. See /industries/outdoor-brands for more on ecommerce.

Can we update rates and photos ourselves?

Yes. We set the site up so your team can edit rates, hours and galleries.
