Dock Skipper – List & Rent Boat Docks, Moorings, Slips, & Storage; A Peer-To-Peer Platform

ST AUGUSTINE, Fla. - May 18, 2015 - PRLog -- The peer-to-peer marketplace is taking another giant leap today with the announcement of Dock Skipper (https://www.dockskipper.com), the first true peer-to-peer dock, slip, mooring, and boat storage platform.  With a cutting edge website, designed with speed and innovation in mind, Dock Skipper takes aim at the hundreds of thousands of docks currently going unused in the United States alone.

“The peer-to-peer sharing industry is growing by leaps and bounds every year with the roads previously paved by the likes of AirBNB;  however,  there was a big industry missing: boat dockage”, said founder Cabe Nolan.  After seeing the huge upside to such a platform, Nolan began developing the website under his own development agency, Bold City Agency LLC (https://boldcityagency.com).  “The Dock Skipper website has turned out even better than expected.  We’ve built in every feature we set out to integrate and more.” Nolan added.

Dock Skipper (https://www.dockskipper.com) is 100% free to register and create your listing(s).  The process takes under five minutes to complete and your listing can be live within the hour.  Dock Skipper uses peer reviews and other identity verification processes to ensure users stay safe and the platform stays secure.

Listing hosts have the ability to maintain a calendar for each listing, blocking out dates where the property is in use.  Furthermore, every booking request submitted on a listing must be approved by the host prior to issuing an invoice.  “Often times, a guest may have different needs when staying at a listing” Nolan said. “Some may need electricity, others fresh water, showers or laundry services.  Our system allows hosts to add on extra fees to the booking prior to issuing the invoice.  When the guests arrive, the stay is prepaid and the host and guest are prepared and knowledgeable.”

Led by an experienced team, Dock Skipper is poised to move quickly.  One of their first marketing efforts includes an aggressive referral program, paying up to $70 for each new user referred.  Initially, Dock Skipper plans to set up shop primarily in Florida with their office’s close proximity to huge boating communities such as Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, the Keys, Tampa, and Jacksonville.  They also have plans to finalize a mobile application for iPhone & Android, although Nolan points out that the current website is already very optimized for mobile devices and tablets and will behave almost identically to any mobile app.

While the rental platform is the initial undertaking of Dock Skipper, their founder has an even bigger goal, “We came into this wanting to better the boating community as a whole.  I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time travelling and exploring by boat and there is a huge camaraderie between these like-minded people”, said Nolan.  “We want to expand on that, give people more ways to connect, share stories, share experiences, and share their docks, moorings, and storage.  It’s all going to be part of the experience.”

Dock Skipper is excited to open up all these new opportunities for both boaters and homeowners alike.  “We see this platform greatly improving the way boaters are able to navigate the world, head out on that early morning fishing trip, or find permanent storage to help ease the cost of boat ownership.  On the other side, homeowners and property owners will be able to offset their mortgage payments & make extra money without risk or upfront costs.  It’s completely win-win all around and we’re ready to get you onboard.”
