Dockshare Launches Campaign to Highlight Boaters Biggest Frustration More Time Planning Trips Than Enjoying the Boat
United States, 23rd Sep 2025 — For many boaters, the joy of being on the water is being overshadowed by an unexpected frustration: the growing amount of time spent planning trips compared to the time actually spent enjoying the boat. Dockshare, the peer-to-peer dock rental platform, is shining a light on this problem and offering a simple solution that connects boaters with private dock owners across the country.
Boating is meant to be about freedom: the open water, the spontaneity of a last-minute trip, and the memories made with family and friends. Yet across coastal towns, lakes, and rivers, a common pattern has emerged. Weekends are lost to endless marina calls, waiting lists, and unreliable information about availability. By the time a spot is secured, much of the day or weekend has already slipped away.
“Boaters shouldn’t feel like booking a slip is harder than booking a flight,” explains Nate Young, co-founder of Dockshare. “Every summer, thousands of hours are wasted on planning and searching, when that time should be spent on the water. Dockshare was created to give boaters their time back.”
The problem extends beyond individual frustration. Communities that rely on boating for tourism and local income also suffer when access is limited. Restaurants, shops, and attractions that depend on boat traffic lose customers when families cancel trips or shorten their stays. At the same time, private docks in prime waterfront areas sit vacant, representing lost income for owners and missed opportunities for boaters.
Dockshare’s platform offers a direct solution by bridging this gap. Through Find a Dock, boaters can search and reserve space in minutes, cutting through the uncertainty and wasted time. For owners, List Your Dock provides an easy way to share their space, cover maintenance costs, and earn supplemental income. The model creates a win-win for both sides while bringing new energy to waterfront communities.
Early adopters of Dockshare are already seeing results. Families report smoother trips and more time enjoying their boats, while owners highlight the satisfaction of seeing their docks in use instead of sitting vacant. With demand for boating continuing to grow nationwide, Dockshare is positioning itself as the go-to resource for connecting supply and demand in a way that benefits everyone.
“Access is the heart of boating,” added Young. “When we make it easier to find and share dock space, we give people back the freedom that boating is supposed to provide.”
