For decades, marina software has been designed around the software company's needs — not the marina operator's. Complicated interfaces. Annual contracts. Seat fees. Booking commissions. Platforms that own your customer relationship and charge you for the privilege.
We built AyeAyeSkipper because we believe the person who built the marina, maintains the docks, and knows every tenant by name should be running a modern operation — not fighting software that was designed for someone else.
Skipper is not a marketplace. We don't take a cut of your bookings. We don't own your customer relationship. We don't hold your data hostage. We're not Dockwa. We're an operating system — like the software that runs a hospital or a hotel — that happens to be built specifically for marinas. You pay a flat subscription. We run your marina. Your money, your customers, your brand.
The Skipper Engine™ knows your specific marina inside and out. Skipper isn't a chatbot. It's an expert that knows your specific marina. Your slips. Your tenants. Your rates. Your history. Ask Skipper anything about your operation and it answers like someone who's been working your docks for ten years.
The core engine. Slip Logic™ maps every slip in your marina, tracks occupancy and payment status in real time, and powers the color-coded map that shows your entire operation at a glance. It's the reason Skipper can tell you instantly who's overdue, who's expiring, and which slips are available. No other marina platform has this.
A revenue innovation that didn't exist before we built it. Annual tenants mark their slip available when they're away. The slip is automatically listed for transients. Revenue is split between tenant and marina. When the tenant returns, their slip is waiting. Everyone earns more from the same infrastructure.
Custom adaptation models that migrate any marina platform to AyeAyeSkipper. Whether you're on Dockmaster, Dockwa, Marina Controller, or a spreadsheet that's been growing since 1997 — Skipper Gangway reads it, maps it, validates it, and imports it. You don't start from zero. You start from exactly where you are.
For marinas with mooring fields — a specialty that most marina software handles as an afterthought. Mooring Logic™ maps every ball in the field, tracks chain specs, swing radius, last inspection, assigned vessel, and leases. Skipper Hail™ lets boaters request a launch via text — no radio chatter, no hold music.
AyeAyeSkipper is a product of Next-Gen Marine, a company built around the belief that the marine industry deserves modern technology. We're not a Silicon Valley startup parachuting into marina management. We come from the boating world — we know what a pile slip is, we know what "stand by on 16" means, and we know why the channel depth matters more than the font on the app.
We operate under Mariner and Sailor LLC, a marine-focused entity that also includes charter booking (MarinerAndSailor.com), dock manufacturing (ExpressDocks.com), and custom aluminum boat building (RIBITBoats.com). The marine industry is our industry. AyeAyeSkipper is our operating system for it.
We'll build your marina and have Skipper ready before we even get on the phone.
