EquipDash hands the busywork — bookings, waivers, deposit holds, weather reschedules — to Dash AI. So you can focus on getting boats off the dock instead of behind a screen.
More bookings online. Every vessel tracked. Every boater contacted automatically. The stuff your last system promised and never quite delivered.
Most boaters book direct on your website — if the widget feels like your marina. Embed a branded widget that looks like your operation, not generic tourism software. Real-time availability, hourly + half-day + multi-day pricing, deposit holds, captained add-ons. Mobile-ready and fast, even on the busiest Saturday of the season.
On the water. Back in the slip. In service. Overdue. Mark pickup, mark return — from any device. Auto-text the boaters running late so you stop chasing them.
A signed waiver and a boating safety cert number captured on every booking before pickup. Customers sign on their phone. Damage photos save automatically. Exports are insurance-ready, not a PDF mess.
Confirmations. Pickup reminders. Overdue chasers. Waiver follow-ups. Weather reschedule offers. Post-trip review requests. All sent automatically — no scripts, no 11pm copy-paste from a spreadsheet. Pulls customer phone right from the booking.
Ask Dash anything in plain English — get the answer in seconds. Or deploy pre-built agents that run in the background while you're on the dock. Either way, you stop running your marina from your phone.
Pre-built AI agents for marinas and boat rental shops, working in the background while you run the dock.
Three workflows other rental software doesn't have. Plus all the standard tools you'd expect — done well.
1pm pontoon comes in at 1:14. The 2pm boater is already in the lot. EquipDash blocks a 30-min cleaning + fueling buffer automatically, runs the pre-departure checklist on a tablet, and only releases the boat once every item is ticked.
Boats are five-figure assets and damage is part of the job. EquipDash pre-authorizes a security hold on the boater's card when they book through Stripe, releases it automatically if the return inspection is clean, or applies it to a documented repair if not. No card-on-file billing, no manual chase.
Thursday 4pm the marine forecast turns. Dash AI scans tomorrow's 18 rentals, texts each boater the new forecast plus a one-tap "reschedule to Sunday" link, and rebooks them automatically. You wake up to a clean Friday calendar, not 18 voicemails.
The 3 features above are unique to marina and boat rental ops. Everything below is table stakes — and we don't charge extra for any of it.
Here's what a busy summer Saturday looks like running on EquipDash — from the morning brief to the overnight agents finishing up while you sleep.
Good morning. 22 departures today, 8 in the 9am wave. Marine forecast: 8kt SW, 1ft swell, clear — green-light conditions across the fleet.
2 waivers missing from tomorrow's bookings. I texted both at 6am — Sarah M. already signed, Patel family in progress.
Dock crew. You have 3 scheduled. I'd recommend 4 between 8:30–10am based on the morning departure cluster. Want me to ping Marcus?
Dash AI checks last night's returns, today's marine forecast, and the day's booking load — then writes the brief. No more flipping between five tabs at 5:45am.
Family arrives. Pre-departure checklist on a tablet. Waiver + cert verified. Deposit hold pre-authed. They're off the dock before the next slip's boater pulls in. No second till, no paper, no scrambling.
Flag damage at the inspection and a rate-card-priced damage report drafts instantly — photos, boater history, deposit math all attached. The boater gets a polite, defensible auto-text. No sticky notes, no Stripe disputes you can't win.
Pre-built agents handle the overnight admin — departure reminders, damage reports, dock-crew planning, review chases. You walk in tomorrow to a ready brief, not a backlog.
