The dock neighbor who never leaves the dock.
DockNeighbor watches your boat around the clock and does what a good neighbor would: tells you the moment something's wrong, and if you're overdue getting back, tells the people who'd want to know. It's also where your dock talks — your marina, the boat next to you, the events and trips coming up.

A neighbor that never goes home.
The best thing about a good dock neighbor is that they notice. Water in the bilge, a pedestal that tripped, a battery quietly dying, an anchor starting to walk — and they tell you, not the other way around. DockNeighbor is that neighbor, on the boat all the time, with sensors instead of luck.
It tells you first, wherever you are
Water in the bilge, a dying battery, a dropped pedestal, an anchor starting to drag — the failures that happen quietly, at 2 a.m., three states away from you. DockNeighbor watches for them and reaches your phone in seconds. And if you want, it reaches one more person who can actually get to the boat.
2:14 a.m. — water rises
A high-water sensor in the bilge trips and stays tripped. The app knows in seconds.
2:15 a.m. — you know, and only you
Your phone gets it three states away. If it's a hose on a sensor, you say so and nobody else ever hears about it.
2:20 a.m. — still rising, no answer from you
Now it tells the one friend you named who's at the marina tonight. Not before.
It never wakes anyone but you for a blip. A friend hears about it only when an alarm is still going five minutes later and you haven't tapped "I've got it" — except a dragging anchor, which reaches them the moment it reaches you. Free reaches one friend for the anchor alarm; paid plans reach up to five for any alarm. You pick who, and which alarms.
When you're overdue, it tells someone
A good neighbor knows when you left and when you said you'd be back — and makes the call when you're not. Plan the trip, say who should know, and DockNeighbor does the rest.
Plan it on real depth
A route is only as good as what's under it. Plan on depth tiles and real channel lanes, for the draft you actually have.
File a float plan
The oldest safety practice on the water, and the one most often skipped — because telling somebody is a chore. Here it's a tap, and the overdue call is automatic.
Let them follow along
A partner meeting you at the ramp, family watching a passage. You pick who sees where you are, and for how long.
The trip planner, voyage history and location sharing are live today; float plans are in development. Everything here is included on your plan the day it ships.
It's also where the dock talks
Most of what happens at a marina isn't an alarm. It's the season — and the people. Your marina, your dock neighbors, and what's coming up, in one place.
Your marina
Notices from the office, haul-out and splash dates, and the marina's events — posted once, seen by everyone in the slips.
Your dock neighbors
Message the boat next to you, the whole dock, or a group you set up. Add a friend and, if you choose, let them hear an alarm.
What's coming up
Events to RSVP to, and who's heading out where — so a trip becomes a raft-up, or at least somebody knows to take a line when you get back.
How it actually works
Aboard, the app talks to your sensors directly. Away, the cloud keeps watching and does the reaching out. Off-the-shelf hardware, no proprietary black boxes.
A dock is a place before it's a group
Marinas, yards, mechanics, and management companies get one account, real roles, and every boat in their care in one app — plus long-range sensors and shared hubs that cover a whole facility instead of one slip.
