Interesting concept, matching moorage and boaters

[Phil Herring]

Just met our neighbors who are starting a site that lists available moorage and matches it up with boaters who need same. Nice kids, they're just getting started. Give it a look: http://www.mooragemarket.com

They need to get around to entering slip fees.

Neat idea. I signed up. I could see this succeeding quite nicely. Kudos to the young entrepreneurs.

I think they did, at least, the slips I was looking at had nightly fees listed. Was I looking i the wrong place?

Thanks for the plug Phil and for the feedback from everyone else. We do not create or set any listings, so the content of them is up to the member posting the listing. We simply provide the marketplace to connect empty moorage with boaters. If a listing is missing critical content such as price, we contact the member and ask that they update it.

Please let us know if you have any suggestions or other comments on how we can make the site more useful.

Has anyone ever done something with slip sharing? For example, you pay your slip rent, but then are entered into a database where if you wont have to pay for a slip at a member marina. Something like resorts international or some such. That would sure make coastal cruising more affordable and inviting.

Something along the lines of you can use my slip when I'm away, and vice versa.

I wish them good fortune on their endeavor. I love to see someone run with an idea.
Something needs to be done to make cruising more sailboat friendly. I would love to know I have a mooring and can show up to use it when it suits my schedule.

At least around here, dock contracts prohibit that. Most of the marinas reserve the right to sell your slip to a transient if you are gong to be gone for more than a few days.
