Booking Process

Nope, nada, zilch. We have never charged a booking fee to boaters booking slips or moorings with us. Pretty cool, right?

Type in a marina, state, or town of interest in our search bar and press Go! To narrow your results and check availability, add in your travel dates, boat length, beam and draft, and power requirements. Our system will match your search criteria with availability in the region.

If you just want to browse, that’s cool too! You can explore where we have slips by using our Interactive Map, or by browsing our Regions tab at the top of this page! Once you find a marina you like, click Learn More to check your availability. From there you will be prompted to add in your dates and boat requirements to check availability and snag your slip.

You can reserve slips as far in advance as you would like. So, whether you are planning your entire summer or just the upcoming weekend, we can help.

We do recommend that you reserve your slip during normal business hours. If you book after 5PM for a same-day stay, we will do our best to contact the marina regarding your reservation, so that you have important arrival information (bathroom codes, key cards, etc.). Since online booking is new to the boating industry, we do follow up on every reservation as soon as possible, and no later than 24 hours from the time of reservation.

Please Contact Us using our contact form with your details we will be happy to look into this for you.

Many marinas charge by the overall length of your boat (LOA) and some may charge a flat rate per night. Rates can fluctuate based on the day of the week, holidays, special events, and some marinas may charge a minimum price per night. Your total price will also include any additional taxes or fees, and we will itemize these for you before you complete your checkout process. Should you have any questions about your charges, don’t hesitate to Drop Us a Line.

Some of our marinas charge a resort fee on top of their slip or mooring fee. This could include amenities such as free WiFi, activities programs, concierge services, and towel/beach chairs/etc. Resort fees are charged per night, and you can see this itemized before you complete your checkout process.

Absolutely! We would be more than happy to help you! We can even plan a multi-destination cruise for you and your group. Just Contact Us with your information and details about your cruising group, and our dedicated concierge team will make it happen!



Reservation Policies

To add nights to your reservation, please create a new reservation for the additional nights. You can add your existing booking confirmation # into the booking notes at checkout so the marina is aware you are adding nights. To make other modifications to your trip, such as shifting dates or removing nights, please submit a trip modification request via our Trip Manager or Contact Us for assistance.

Eligible cancellations and refunds are easy! We mirror the marina’s cancellation policy. If you can cancel or modify your reservation based on the marina's cancellation policy, we will gladly assist.

To request a cancellation for your reservation, simply navigate to Manage My Trips and input your confirmation number and last name. From there, you can view your trip information and request a cancellation. A member of our team will reach out to you regarding your request.

If you are a Snag-A-Slip account holder, you can also view and manage all of your trips via the My Trips tab of your Account.

In the event that you are eligible for a refund, depending on the cancellation policy of the specific marina that you booked with, we will strive to process your refund immediately, and definitely within 48 hours of notification of cancellation. Refunds may take 5-7 days to reflect in your account, depending on your banking institution.

All of these policies are up to the individual owner. When you book with a private slip, it is the responsibility of both parties to clarify these and any other policies and procedures before the arrival date.

For listings included in our reservation request service, the standard Snag-A-Slip cancellation policy will apply.
