Marinas and sailing clubs charge yearly berth fees, nightly visitor moorings, memberships, fuel, boat storage and sailing courses. Visiting boats often arrive after the office has closed, members pay yearly fees that can be large, and courses are booked weeks ahead. A payments app that sends a link for a visitor mooring, collects memberships and berth fees by instalment and takes course bookings can win these marinas and clubs, and every boat owner who pays sees your app.

Take payment for visitor moorings
A payment link sent to a visiting boat lets the crew pay for the night from the boat, even when the office is closed.
