The United States Has One of the World's Largest Marina Industries

The United States is home to thousands of marinas serving recreational boaters, sailing clubs, yacht owners, commercial operators, and waterfront communities.

Modern marinas provide far more than boat storage. They manage berth reservations, fuel services, maintenance, customer relationships, long-term berthing, security, and hospitality while supporting millions of boating enthusiasts every year.

As customer expectations continue to evolve, marinas are increasingly investing in digital technology that improves operational efficiency and delivers a better boating experience.

Why Marina Match Joined AMI

Joining AMI allows Marina Match to work more closely with marina professionals throughout the United States while gaining deeper insight into the operational challenges and opportunities facing modern marinas.

The membership also supports Marina Match's long-term commitment to building technology that reflects the real-world needs of marina operators rather than simply digitising existing processes.

Our Objectives

• Strengthen relationships with US marina operators
• Learn from experienced marina professionals
• Support digital transformation within the marina industry
• Understand evolving operational requirements
• Promote smarter berth booking and marina management
• Build stronger international boating connections

The Future of Marina Management Is Digital

Across the world, marinas are moving away from spreadsheets, paper booking systems, manual berth allocation, and disconnected software.

Modern Marina Management Includes

• Digital marina reservation software
• Live berth availability
• Interactive marina maps
• Online berth booking
• Marina CRM
• Occupancy management
• Customer communication
• Maintenance scheduling
• Marina analytics and reporting
