What’s Next for America's Marinas?

In this special Fourth of July episode of From Pitch to Pontoon, we explore what one of the busiest boating weekends of the year reveals about marina operations, customer expectations and the future of marina management software in the US. Calum and Lisa are joined by Mikkel Oldenburg, Chief Revenue Officer at Elite Dynamics, and Jamie Gilman, US Business Development Manager, to discuss the pressure American marinas face during peak demand, from transient slips, fuel docks and dry stack launches to staffing, service requests, reservations and customer communication. The conversation looks at how busy holiday weekends can expose disconnected systems, manual processes and gaps in operational visibility, while also creating opportunities for marinas to improve customer experience, increase ancillary revenue and make smarter use of data. Jamie also shares his view on the US marina market, the rise of larger multi-site marina groups, changing customer expectations, technology adoption, AI and why connected ERP software could play a bigger role in the next chapter of marina operations. Whether you manage a marina, boatyard, yacht club, dry stack operation or multi-location marine business, this episode explores the trends shaping the future of American marina management. 🎙️ Listen now to hear what peak periods like Fourth of July can teach us about the future of connected #fourthofjulyweekend #marinamanagementsoftware #marinamanagement #boating #marineindustry #marinatechnology #marina #boatyard #drystack #elitemarinas #frompitchtopontoon #elitedynamics
