01 / FOR BOAT OWNERS

Know the price.
See the work.

Most boat work happens when you're not there, and quotes rarely line up. DockDash gives you itemized prices before you commit and photos of the job when it's done.

  • Find providers near your boat.

    When DockDash opens, search by service and by where your boat is: a marina slip, a boatyard or a trailer. Providers list where they work.

  • Compare quotes line by line.

    Every quote is itemized, so you can see what's included, what's optional and what each part costs.

  • Review the finished work.

    Providers add photos or video when they mark a job complete, so you can check the work before you approve it.

  • Pay after you review the work.

    Your card is authorized when you accept a quote. You approve the work, or it's approved automatically 5 days after the provider marks the job complete unless you report a problem first.

02 / FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS

Less phone tag.
More time on the water.

Requests come with the boat details and access notes you'd normally chase by phone. Quote the job, book it, show the finished work and get paid without the back-and-forth.

  • Get found at the marinas you serve.

    List your services and marinas, and owners who keep their boats there can find you.

  • Quote from a complete request.

    See the boat, where it is and the work needed, plus photos when the owner adds them. Reply with an itemized quote.

  • Take the jobs you want.

    Choose which requests to pursue, set your availability and keep each conversation with its job.

  • Get paid for completed work.

    Payment is released when the owner approves the work, or automatically 5 days after you mark the job complete unless the owner reports a problem first. Payouts go to your Stripe account. There's no subscription: owners pay the service fee, so you keep your quoted price.

QUESTIONS

Common
questions.

What owners and providers ask before they start.

When can I start using DockDash?

We're opening soon in California. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when you can request service or set up a provider profile.

Where can I find service?

We're starting in California. Each provider sets the marinas they serve and their availability, so a marina in our location guide doesn't guarantee a provider is available there.

Where do quotes, messages and photos live?

With the job. The request, quote, messages, appointment and completion photos stay together. An early estimate isn't a final quote, so check the agreed scope before work starts.

When is my card charged, and what if something is wrong?

Your card is authorized when you accept a quote. You approve the work, or it's approved automatically 5 days after the provider marks the job complete unless you report a problem first. To report a problem, open a dispute on the job page before the 5 days are up. Say what went wrong (at least 20 characters) and whether you want a full refund, a partial refund or the work redone. The provider is notified, and the payment is not released automatically while the dispute is open.

Can providers choose which jobs to pursue?

Yes. Providers decide which requests fit their business and set their own service area and availability.

Does DockDash check insurance or marina approval?

Not today. A provider's DockDash profile may show insurance details they've shared, but DockDash doesn't verify them. Ask the provider for a current certificate of insurance and confirm vendor approval with the harbor office before work starts. Our free guides explain what to ask for.

What do I need to join as a provider?

Add your business details, services and the marinas you serve, set your availability, and connect a Stripe account for payouts.
