Dockwa plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium modules | $299/month | 4 | Entry tier |
| Booking | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Premium modules
$299/monthThe entry tier. It covers additional monthly subscription on top of transaction fees, revenue management and dynamic dockage pricing, extended reporting, sold alongside an annual software fee in newer packaging.
Booking
On requestOver Premium modules, this tier adds:
- Around 2.5% card processing plus roughly 1% service fee on platform bookings
- Reservation management and slip assignment
- Boater marketplace exposure
- No fee charged to the boater
What the product covers
The full Dockwa feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Transient reservations
- Seasonal contracts
- Slip assignment
- Boater marketplace
- Integrated payments
- Guest communication
- Occupancy reporting
- Revenue management module
People bring Dockwa in for a transient-heavy marina on a popular cruising route wanting booking demand as well as software, a harbour replacing a paper ledger and phone-based reservation process, a yacht club managing seasonal contracts and renewals alongside visitor dockage, a marina group standardising slip assignment and occupancy reporting across sites. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Dockwa are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Dockwa
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $299/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Dockwa against the tools that do have one before committing.
Dockwa runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Dockwa of Newport, Rhode Island, United States. The full record is on the Dockwa review, and the rest of the category is under best maritime tools.
