The harbor management
platform that runs itself.

BUILT FOR MARINA AND HARBOR OPERATORS
THE PROBLEM
Harbors still run on whiteboards and spreadsheets.
Slip assignments tracked in paper logbooks
Billing calculated by hand at checkout
Issues discovered during walk-throughs, not in real time
Storm prep communicated by phone tree
No record of who was in what slip when
THE SOLUTION
BinnacleHarbor puts your entire harbor on one screen.
Live SVG map — every slip, real-time occupancy at a glance
30-second vessel check-in with auto billing calculation
Issue log with severity alerts pushed to your phone
One-click storm alert to all slip holders
Full visit history — who, what vessel, how long, what they paid
FEATURES
Everything a harbormaster needs.
Nothing they don't.
Live harbor map
Every slip rendered in real time. See occupancy, vessel names, LOA, and status at a glance — no refreshing required.
Vessel check-in
Log an arrival in under 30 seconds. Captures vessel name, type, LOA, captain, phone, and auto-timestamps the arrival.
Automated billing
Nightly rate × nights stayed = balance due. Mark paid with one click. Outstanding balances surface automatically.
Issue tracking
Log RED, YELLOW, and BLUE alerts by slip or port-wide. Resolve with one tap. Full history retained.
Storm alert broadcast
Incoming weather? One button sends a precaution checklist to all slip representatives instantly.
Slip management
View all berths by dock, check vessels in and out, set status to maintenance — all from the slips table.
Occupancy stats
Total slips, occupied count, open count, and active alert count always visible at the top of the dashboard.
Multi-tenant & secure
Every harbor is fully isolated. Role-based access — Admin, Manager, Viewer. JWT auth, no shared data.
Haul-out & launch queue
Boaters request a haul-out or launch online, staff work a first-come queue — no more phone tag with the lift operator.
Two-way SMS
Check-in confirmations and waitlist offers go out by text — and boaters can text your harbor's number right back.
Live harbor camera
Drop a stream URL in Settings and your boater guide shows a live view of the harbor — HLS, MJPEG, or still image.
Seasonal pricing
Set a summer-peak or event-weekend rate once — every night bills at whatever rate was active, automatically.
Inspection checklists
A photographed condition record at arrival and departure — the evidence trail for 'was that scratch already there?'
Damage-deposit holds
Authorize a hold on a boater's card at check-in — not a charge. Release it at checkout, or capture it if there's damage.
Post-visit ratings
A quick 1-5★ survey after checkout. Low ratings come to you privately; happy boaters get pointed at your public review page.
Public API & webhooks
Pull slip and vessel data into your own tools, or get real-time events pushed the moment a boat checks in or out. (Pro plan)
Saved card & auto-pay
Boaters save a card once and opt in to auto-pay — their nightly balance gets charged automatically, no more remembering to hit Pay.
