For marinas
Your marina,
Your marina,

Give your slip holders a radio station with your name on it. Same great music as Dock Side Live — but every ad break plays your announcements: fuel dock specials, events, the restaurant on the pier.

Diagram: on the main Dock Side Live stream an ad break plays a house ad; in your marina app the same break plays your own announcement, then both continue with the same music.
