The story

Dockwa began as a marina reservation marketplace connecting boaters with marinas (booking + payments). Over time it has layered in marina-side SaaS — Captains & Contracts, POS, Fuel Management, Dry Stack, Revenue Management. The 2026 PSG investment marks an explicit pivot from 'marina software' to 'operating system and intelligence layer' for the $57B marina economy, with stated ambition to serve insurers, OEMs, and institutional investors — moving Dockwa into embedded finance (payments, trip protection insurance) as core monetization beyond SaaS subscriptions.
