Hello, and welcome to everyone who signed up this month.

October was the biggest month SlipRight has had. When it started, a marina could draw its docks, send contracts that boat owners sign from their phone or any browser, take payments online, and run its work requests on one board. By the end of it, a marina could run a whole season on SlipRight, from the renewal offer to the haul-out day. Here's what changed.

For your boat owners

Autopay. Boat owners can keep a card or bank account on file at your marina and turn on autopay, and a payment plan can require it. The January balance pays itself on the due date.
Notifications by email, push, and text. Each person picks how they hear about messages, offers, invoices, payments, and requests. Pushes and texts stay quiet overnight, and a push on the lock screen never shows an amount.
Face ID on iPhone. My slip opens with a glance.
Their haul-out day, on their phone. Once you send dates, each owner sees their day on My slip and can ask to move it with the boat and the day already written.
Paperwork reminders. Boat owners hear before their registration or insurance runs out, and upload the new one from My slip.
One login, every marina. A boat owner at two marinas sees both in one place, with each marina's logo at the top.

The yard and the calendar

Your docks drafted from an aerial photo. Type the marina's address and SlipRight drafts your docks and slips, finding the slips from the boats tied up in them, then numbers every dock in one go.
A haul-out and launch calendar. Every accepted winter offer comes in with the week its owner asked for. Fill the week hands each boat a working day, and Send dates tells every owner theirs.
A winter yard, planned for you. Draw the yard over the aerial photo, and Suggest layout places every winter boat in launch order, so the first to launch is never blocked in. You see the plan on the map before anything is saved.
Transient stays. Mark a slip Transient and book stays on it by the night, on a two-week calendar and the same map as your seasonal boats. SlipRight refuses a double booking.
A waitlist. Add people waiting for a slip, keep them in the order they joined, and import the list you keep today.

Your marina's own page

Turn on a page at slipright.app/m/your-marina where anyone can ask for a summer slip, winter storage, a stay, or work on a boat, and paste one line to put the same form on your own website. A stay request checks for room for that boat on those nights. Requests land in an Inquiries inbox, and each becomes a waitlist entry, a stay, a request, or an offer.

Your page, as a visitor sees it: they pick what they're asking for, and a stay checks for room on the spot.

Paperwork, tracked

Settings → Paperwork says what every boat needs, what the insurance must show, and when to remind owners. The Paperwork page lists every boat worst first, and one export gives your insurer every boat with its status and dates. Here's how a missing registration becomes a current one.

1. You ask. Ask for paperwork sends one letter, in your marina's name, to everyone whose registration or insurance is missing or expired, with your note at the top.

Ask for paperwork, with a note for every owner it goes to.

2. They see what's missing. On My slip, each boat shows its registration and insurance, and what's missing has a button to add it.

The boat owner's phone: registration and insurance both Missing.

3. They add it from their phone. They pick the file, type the date it expires, and add it. It reads Needs review until you look.

Adding the registration, with its expiry date.

4. You check it and accept. The boat's drawer shows the new document with Accept and Reject. Accept asks you to check the expiry date against the document.

Accepting the registration in the office, with its date confirmed.

5. It's current. The boat reads Current on both sides, and reminders take it from there.

For the money

Overdue and late fees. SlipRight marks a late invoice Overdue on its own and mails the owner once. Late fees are off, a flat amount, or a percent after the days of grace you choose, and you can waive one.
Refunds, credits, and statements. Refund to the card or bank account, record a refund by check, or give credit. Every customer has a balance and a statement, in the office and on their phone.
Reports. Occupancy by month, who owes by how late, revenue by season, and renewals outstanding, each a CSV.
The books. Export every invoice and payment, and hand your accountant a QuickBooks journal that balances.

A statement from your marina: what the boat owner owes, and a link to the whole history.

For moving over

Import with a dry run. Bring in your slips with who is in each, customers with all their boats, inventory, and opening balances. SlipRight marks every row before anything is written, and Undo takes a whole import back.
Export your records back out. Slips, customers and boats, and inventory leave with the same columns they came in with.

Settings → Import, in the order a move goes: slips, customers and boats, inventory, then balances.

Settings → Import: slips, then customers and boats, then inventory, then balances, each from a CSV — Settings → Import, in the order a move goes: slips, customers and boats, inventory, then balances.

As always, SlipRight takes no cut. You pay Stripe's rate and nothing on top.

Renewal season is coming

Most seasonal marinas send renewal offers between December and February. If you'd like yours to go out from SlipRight this year, we'll move your customers, their boats, and who is in which slip for you, free, before then. Sign up, or Request a demo and we'll drop you a line.

Tell us what's next

Late fees and saved cards both started with a marina asking for them. If there's something you'd like SlipRight to do, reply to this letter, or write to hello@slipright.app. We read every one.

Thanks for reading.
