About Dockwa
Dockwa is on a mission to modernize the $230+ billion marine industry. Founded in 2015, we started by streamlining how boaters and marinas connect through real-time transient slip bookings, and quickly expanded to provide a full operating system for marinas nationwide—automating workflows, increasing revenue, and delivering efficiencies across the board. But we’re just getting started. Our ambition is to bring modern, impactful technology solutions to an industry that has traditionally been offline, and we’re looking for passionate individuals to help us lead the charge.
Our Mission
We believe in transforming a historically traditional industry by empowering marinas with intuitive, powerful software. By building an all-in-one platform that integrates reservations, payment processing, and workflow management, we aim to elevate the operational efficiency of our partners and create a seamless customer experience for boaters.

Dockwa thrives on a culture of collaboration, innovation, and ownership. We value autonomy and the spirit of learning-by-doing.
