For Marinas
Stock it. Sell it. Rent it.
Make your marina more dog-friendly — and turn it into a new revenue stream.
Half your slips have a dog on board. They swim — and then somebody has to lift sixty pounds of soaking-wet retriever back onto the boat. The nautiDAWGS ladder lets the dog climb back aboard on their own. For a rental fleet, that turns into four things at once: your boats become genuinely dog-friendly, the customers who travel with their dog get an amenity they'll happily pay for, you get a rental add-on the marina across the lake doesn't offer — and every ladder keeps earning, season after season.
The rental program
Turn dog-friendly rentals into recurring revenue
nautiDAWGS isn't just another accessory to put on a shelf. Buy the ladder once, and rent the benefit out every time a dog comes aboard one of your boats.
Install the mounting bracket on the boats in your rental fleet that fit.
Offer the nautiDAWGS ladder as an optional add-on for houseboats, pontoons and pleasure boats.
Rent it daily or weekly — however your fleet already rents.
Every ladder comes in a canvas carry bag. Hand it over at check-in.
At boat checkout, staff show how to deploy, retrieve, fold and stow it. About a minute.
Another line on the bottom line — and a better day on the water for the customers who bring the dog.
For our marina partners, the ladders can pay for themselves
Every marina's fleet and rates are different, so run it on yours. Move the sliders — the numbers update as you go.
Most marinas pilot with 2–5 on the dog-friendly pontoons and houseboats.
We suggest $20–30 a day — a small line on a pontoon rental.

Your numbers, our $499 retail price — nothing here is a projection. Marina partner pricing is lower, which shortens every payback above. Tell us your fleet and rates below and we'll run the full model for you.

Three ways marinas work with us
Outfit your rentals
Put a bracket on the dog-friendly pontoons and houseboats, rent the ladder as an optional add-on, and the same ladder earns again every time a dog comes aboard. It's the amenity the marina across the lake doesn't have.
Stock it in the ship's store
It folds to 24" x 17" x 6" and weighs under 15 pounds, so it shelves and hangs like any other boxed accessory — no floor space, no pallet, no freight problem.
Install it for your slip holders
Installation is three drilled holes and the included hardware. Your service techs already do harder work before lunch, and it turns an accessory sale into a service ticket.
Most marinas start with one and add the others. Tell us which fits how you operate and we'll put terms together around it — there's no fixed program you have to squeeze into.
What you'd be putting your name on
Fiberglass rails and stainless hardware, built over four years of prototypes by boaters who got tired of lifting their own dogs. It retails at $499, carries a one-year limited warranty, and comes with 60-day returns.
