The people, not just the pier
Your Dock is the people: the neighbors you talk to, the marina you share, the friends you let hear an alarm or follow a trip, and the conversation that goes on between visits.
What a Dock is
People you chose
Not everyone in the marina. You invite your Dock the same way you'd ask someone to grab your lines — because you already trust them. Joining is free, with or without a boat and with or without a single sensor.
It goes both directions
You watch for them; they watch for you. The boats you help look after appear in the same app as your own, with roles each owner sets — full admin, monitor and control, or view-only.
Sharing has edges
Being in someone's Dock does not mean seeing everything. Owners choose what each person gets — the alarms, the position, the ability to actually do something — and can take it back. Your marina password stays yours.
The conversation Live today
The community forum is running now, with single sign-on from your account. It is where the product gets argued about, where installs get shown off, and where the roadmap actually moves — say something matters and it moves up the list.
🛠️ Real installs, real photos
Where the sensor actually goes in a bilge that floods, which antenna fixed someone's dead spot, what a February freeze did to a boat that wasn't watched.
🗳️ You decide what's next
Every fix and feature comes from boaters using it, and the forum is how things move up the list.

Your Dock's feed Coming
The forum is the whole community. A Dock's feed is narrower and more useful day to day: just your dock, just what's happening on it.
- Arrivals and departuresWho's out, who's back, who's due in tonight.
- Weather worth acting onThe blow that's coming, and who's on the dock to double lines.
- Marina noticesPedestal work, haul-out scheduling, the water going off on B dock.
- The seasonal questionsWinter storage, spring launch dates, who's shrink-wrapping and who's not.
Not shipped. The community forum above is live now and does much of this today; the dock-scoped feed is a fast-follow after relaunch. We would rather under-promise.

A Dock sits in a marina
The marina is the other half of this. One DockNeighbor Station at the office covers every boat on the pier — and marina staff, mechanics, and management companies can be part of the Docks they already look after, with proper accounts instead of shared passwords.
