An interactive visual layout of your marina where you can see berth occupancy, manage stays, log boat movements, and allocate berths for any given date.
Berth Map is a live visual plan of your marina's berths. Each berth is colour-coded to show whether it is free, occupied, or unlisted on the date you are viewing. Click any berth to open a side panel with full occupancy details, movement records, and berth information. You can allocate a berth to a boat, block a berth for a period, release a stay, and log actual arrival and departure times, all without leaving the map.
