The short version

  • Each has a real cost: MarinaOffice pricing is not published and the product is modular, so the quoted total depends on which add-ons you take and two marinas of the same size can be quoted very differently.; NAPA Fleet Intelligence model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • They diverge on capability: MarinaOffice covers Visual marina, NAPA Fleet Intelligence covers NAPA Performance Model.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

MarinaOffice

  • Pricing is not published and the product is modular, so the quoted total depends on which add-ons you take and two marinas of the same size can be quoted very differently.
  • It is a Windows .NET application at heart, so remote and mobile use is weaker than browser-native competitors and staff working on the docks are less well served.
  • The same vendor sells MARINAGO as its cloud product, which raises a real question about how much future development the desktop line receives.
  • Running it on your own servers means you own SQL Server licensing, backups and patching, which is an infrastructure cost and risk that never appears in the software quote.
  • Presence is concentrated in North America, so operators elsewhere face weaker support hours, local payment options and fuel and tax handling.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence

  • Model-derived performance from AIS and noon reports is an estimate, so it supports fleet screening and dispute evidence better than fine-grained optimisation of a single ship.
  • Pricing is per vessel and unpublished, and modular scoping means the quote you compare against a competitor may not cover the same functions.
  • Building the vessel-specific performance model requires hull form and design data that owners of older or second-hand tonnage often do not have, which turns onboarding into a data hunt.
  • It is a monitoring and advisory layer, not a system of record; you still run a separate planned maintenance system, a chartering system and a crewing system.
  • NAPA is strongest in the design and stability world, and its operational reference base, while real, is smaller than the pure voyage-optimisation specialists, so integration breadth with commercial shipping software is narrower.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

MarinaOffice: Is MarinaOffice cloud software?

It is a Windows application with a hosted option. Scribble Software sells MARINAGO Cloud as its browser-native product.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Do we need onboard sensors?

No. NAPA can produce performance analysis from AIS and noon reports using its hydrodynamic model, though instrumented data improves accuracy.

MarinaOffice: What does it cost?

Not published. It is quoted, and the modules you select move the number substantially.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Does it handle EU ETS and CII?

Yes, emissions calculation and regulatory reporting for EU MRV, IMO DCS, CII and EU ETS are covered.

MarinaOffice: Does it handle fuel sales?

Yes, through the PureFuel module including pump interfaces and pay-at-the-pump.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Is it the same NAPA used for ship design?

Yes, same company, and Fleet Intelligence reuses the hydrodynamic modelling from that business.

MarinaOffice: Does it replace accounting software?

No. It integrates with QuickBooks rather than providing a general ledger.

NAPA Fleet Intelligence: Is pricing published?

No. It is licensed per vessel by module, quoted per fleet.
