Create a Digital Discovery Guide for Your Marina

Help Berth Holders and Visitors Discover Everything Your Marina Has to Offer

Today's marina visitors expect more than just a berth.

They want to discover restaurants, boatyards, marine services, events, local attractions and everything that makes your marina unique.

Mapzest creates a dedicated digital guide for each marina, giving visitors instant access to everything available on-site and nearby.

A Dedicated Map for Every Marina

Unlike a generic destination guide, every marina receives its own dedicated, ring-fenced map.

Visitors can easily discover:

Marina facilities • Visitor berthing information • Boatyards • Marine engineering • Chandlers • Yacht brokers • Fuel stations • Restaurants & cafés • Marine retailers • Marina events • Local attractions • Nearby accommodation • Transport links

Everything is organised around that individual marina.

A Better Experience for Visitors and Berth Holders

Whether somebody is visiting for the day or staying for the season, Mapzest helps them make the most of their visit.

Visitors can instantly discover:

Where to eat • Marine services available • Boat repair specialists • Chandlery opening hours • What's happening this weekend • Events taking place at the marina • Local attractions worth visiting • Essential visitor information

Instead of searching multiple websites, everything is available from one easy-to-use guide.

Businesses Keep Their Own Information Up To Date

One of the biggest challenges for marina operators is keeping business information current.

Mapzest solves this by allowing each marina business to manage its own listing.

Businesses can update:

Opening hours • Contact details • Services offered • Events • Offers • Photos • Seasonal information

This keeps your marina guide accurate without creating additional work for your marina team.

Showcase Everything Happening Around the Marina

Marinas are much more than somewhere to moor a boat.

Many host:

Boat shows • Open days • Yacht club events • Live music • Food festivals • Regattas • Charity events • Training courses • Community activities

Mapzest gives every event its own page and displays them on the marina map, making it easy for visitors to see what's happening during their stay.

QR Codes Around the Marina

Perfect locations include:

Marina reception • Visitor pontoons • Fuel berth • Boatyard • Harbour office • Shower & laundry facilities • Restaurants • Notice boards • Visitor welcome packs

Visitors simply scan the code and begin exploring.

Flexible Content Management

Every marina operates differently.

Mapzest supports multiple ways of managing information.

Content can be:

Managed centrally by your marina team • Managed by individual businesses • Approved before publication • Imported from existing systems • A combination of all of the above

This flexibility makes Mapzest suitable for both independent marinas and multi-site marina groups.

Perfect for Marina Groups

Whether you operate one marina or an entire portfolio, each location receives its own dedicated guide whilst remaining part of your wider organisation.

Ideal for:

Marina groups • Independent marinas • Yacht harbours • Inland marinas • Sailing clubs • Waterfront developments

Every location maintains its own identity whilst benefiting from a consistent digital experience.
