Snag-A-Slip Acquires SlipSure

Snag-A-Slip, the leading online boat slip reservation service has acquired SlipSure, the largest app for instant and same day boater bookings. Snag-A-Slip said this move positions the company as a category leader across all types of boater reservations, including long-term, short-term and instant bookings.

“Snag-A-Slip’s mission is to make booking slips seamless and as easy as possible for both boaters and marinas. The acquisition of SlipSure accelerates our mission by increasing the number of partner marinas that let boaters instantly book,” said Dan Cowens, founder and CEO of Snag-A-Slip. “This means our boaters have the peace of mind that their slip is reserved and waiting for them, even if they book minutes before arriving.”

Since launching in 2015, Snag-A-Slip expanded its network to more than 700 partner marinas, spanning Canada to the Caribbean. In 2019, Snag-A-Slip opened its platform to private docks, to create more choices for boaters, ensuring they have the best slips whether at a marina or private dock.

“We all know why we like Hotel Tonight, Airbnb, Uber and other apps. They have a way of giving us more choices, while simplifying those choices,” said Sherrie Norton, co-founder of SlipSure. “This is exactly what we set out to do when we created SlipSure. We are delighted to take this vision to new heights with Snag-A-Slip.” Paul and Sherrie Norton will be joining the Snag-A-Slip Advisory Board.
