The Slips & Storage page is where you manage your marina's physical inventory -- every wet slip, dry storage bay, rack position, mooring, and trailer spot. Each unit has a type, dimensions, amenities, and a full pricing schedule that supports hourly through annual billing.

Additional settings
- Show to Public -- Whether this slip appears on the public booking page.
- Internal Notes -- Staff-only notes not visible to customers.

Bulk create
For large marinas, use Bulk Create to generate many slips at once:
- Click Bulk Create in the header.
- Set a prefix (e.g., "A-") and a number range (e.g., 1 to 50).
- Optionally enable zero-padding (e.g., A-01 through A-50).
- Set defaults for unit type, section, dimensions, amenities, and rates.
- Click Create to generate all slips in a single transaction.
Bulk create is limited to 500 slips per operation. If any unit number already exists, the entire batch is rolled back and no slips are created. The system will auto-bill your subscription if the new slips exceed your current quota.
Bulk edit
- Click Bulk Edit in the header to enter selection mode.
- Check individual slips or use the Select All checkbox.
- Click Edit to open the bulk edit modal.
- Change any combination of fields -- section, unit type, amenities, rates, etc.
- Click Apply to update all selected slips at once.
Sections
Sections are organizational groupings (e.g., "Dock A", "South Basin", "Dry Storage Lot 2"). They help you filter and manage large inventories.
- Create a section by typing a new name in the Section field when adding or editing a slip.
- Manage sections by clicking the gear icon in the header. From there you can rename a section (all slips in that section are updated) or delete a section (clears the section assignment from those slips).
- Filter by section using the Section dropdown in the filter bar.
Viewing slips
Toggle between Grid view (cards) and List view (compact rows) using the view toggle in the filter bar.
Filtering
- Search by unit number, name, or section.
- Status filter -- Click a status chip (Available, Occupied, Reserved, Maintenance, Out of Service) to filter. Click again to clear.
- Unit Type filter -- Select a specific type or view all.
- Section filter -- Select a specific section or view all.
Status indicators
| Status | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Available | Green | Open and ready for a new reservation |
| Occupied | Red | Currently assigned to an active tenant |
| Reserved | Orange | Assigned to a confirmed upcoming reservation |
| Maintenance | Blue | Temporarily out of service for repairs |
| Out of Service | Gray | Permanently decommissioned or soft-deleted |
You can change a slip's status directly from the slip card menu without opening the edit form.
Deleting a slip
When you delete a slip, two options are available:
- Soft delete (default) -- Sets the status to "Out of Service." The slip is hidden from availability searches but its history and reporting data are preserved.
- Hard delete -- Permanently removes the slip from the database. This is only allowed if the slip has no active reservations. Hard-deleting a slip also decrements your subscription count.
Hard-deleting a slip is irreversible. If the slip has any active reservations, the deletion will be blocked. Use soft delete to preserve audit trails.
Subscription
Adding slips requires an active slip subscription. Each slip is billed at $10/month. When you add a slip that exceeds your current quota, the system automatically bills for the overage. The subscription banner at the top of the page shows your current usage and remaining capacity.
