Day berths and tender positions sit on a live map with availability tracked by the hour, so anyone can see what is free at three o'clock without finding the person holding the list. A slot can be reserved in advance with a stated arrival time, which means the dock team knows what is coming rather than reacting to it, and repeat visitors and regular tender runs can book through guest self-service instead of calling ahead each time. Vessel and tender records carry length and beam, so a boat is matched to a slot that actually fits rather than judged on sight as it approaches.

On the commercial side, the charge is raised as the tender ties up and settled at the dock by card or on account, which matters because much of this traffic is not staying at the hotel and has no room bill to charge against. Metered shore power covers anything that plugs in, and slot utilisation and revenue reporting give finance figures they can reconcile alongside rooms, food and beverage and spa. The full picture of running the dock without touching the system that runs your rooms is on the page about marine operations alongside your PMS.
