Run the waterfront like a business, not a hobby.

A small marina sells berths, storage, labor, fuel, and a place people want to return to. This handbook covers all five revenue engines and the operating discipline that keeps them running through a full year.

Twenty-five chapters begin with the marina business model, site and layout, berthing contracts and the rate card, then move through the boatyard itself: haul-out, blocking, and storage, selling service labor, safety management, environmental compliance, staffing, and customer experience. Storm and emergency preparedness gets its own chapter, as does money, insurance, marketing, and the operating calendar that ties the year together.

The second half goes where most marina books stop: fuel berth operations and the fuel business in depth, liveaboards and difficult situations, one facility fully worked on paper, dredging and working with regulators, dry stack and rack storage, winter storage economics and shrink-wrap season, utilities and metering, events and waterfront partnerships, office technology, and finally growing, buying, or handing over the facility.
