Who we are

Marinas that run so smoothly - all you notice is the water.

Our Vision

Where

Dockmasters have a clear live view of the water and the yard

Crews know today’s moves without chasing information

Boaties arrive informed, welcomed, and confident

Nothing slips through the cracks - and everyone trusts the numbers.

Owners and Boards can see what’s happening without standing on the dock

All supported by systems that respect how marinas really work …. unpredictably - whether it be tides, weather, peak days, seasonal crews or boats randomly arriving.

Why Values Matter at Berth Control

At Berth Control, values aren’t words on a wall - they guide how we work on real docks, with real boats, under real pressure. Marinas are busy, weather driven and seasonal. When things are busy and don’t go to plan, values help us keep a steady hand - focusing on clear thinking, practical fixes and systems that hold together when it counts.

Our values also shape trust on the dock. We work across bookings, movements, yard work, billing and reporting - where things only work if people trust what they’re seeing. Clear values set the standard for how we show up, follow through and do the simple things properly every day. That’s how our work fades into the background - and why the marina feels calm, organised, and ready for whatever the tide brings.

Wow Every Berth

We go beyond “working software” to create moments of delight for every marina, every crew, every boatie. We design flows that feel intuitive, not instructional. We respond fast, follow through, and close the loop. We celebrate customer wins like they’re our own.

Make It Smooth Sailing

Complex marina ops, simple experiences. We sweat the details so users don’t have to. We remove friction ruthlessly: fewer clicks, clearer screens, smarter defaults. We fix root causes, not just symptoms. We favour automation and smart design over manual workarounds.

Own the Tide

Everyone is the captain of something. We take ownership, ship improvements, and measure impact. We run toward problems, not away from them. We make clear commitments and honour them. We use data to learn, iterate, and improve – not to defend the status quo.

No Barnacles, No Bull

We keep things clean - in our code, our communication and our commitments. We are open about what’s working and what’s not – with customers and with each other. We default to transparency on roadmap, pricing and priorities. We give and receive feedback directly, kindly and with good intent.

All Hands, One Marina

We win as one crew – Berth Control, marina teams, partners and the wider ecosystem. We listen deeply to dockhands, managers, finance, and boaters alike. We co-create solutions with customers rather than tossing software over the side. We share knowledge freely so others can learn faster than we did.

Leave the Water Better

We build for the long term – for marinas, communities, and the marine environment. We prefer decisions that are sustainable, not just convenient. We support practices that protect people, assets and the harbour. We invest in features and initiatives that create positive impact beyond our own revenue.

Berth Control has a calm, practical culture shaped by real marina environments. We work in places where weather changes plans, radios don’t stop and peak days leave no room for confusion. That reality drives how we think and how we work. We value steady progress over big reveals, clarity over cleverness and systems that hold together when the pressure is on.

We are operations led by design. The problems we solve show up on the dock - when arrivals stack up, radios won’t stop, contractors are late, or billing questions surface weeks later. Our culture respects the people dealing with those moments. If something doesn’t work for dockmasters, crews or front-desk teams on a busy day, it doesn’t belong in the solution.

Ownership is expected. Everyone at Berth Control is responsible for something that matters, and we follow it through. We don’t pass problems along or rely on workarounds. When things aren’t right, we fix root causes early and measure success by what improves on the dock, not by how polished the paperwork looks.

Trust and straight talking underpin how we work. We’re clear, honest, and transparent - with customers and with each other. We avoid hype, say no when it’s the right answer, and focus on building systems and relationships that people can rely on, season after season.

At its best, the Berth Control culture stays out of the spotlight. We work alongside marina teams, respect the water and the assets entrusted to them and leave things better than we found them. When our culture is working, the marina feels calm, organised, and professional - and all you really notice is the water.

Just a team that takes pride in building systems that make marina life smoother for crews and boat owners alike.

People who thrive at Berth Control care about outcomes, take ownership, and respect the knowledge that already exists on the dock. You’ll work closely with customers, see the impact of your work in the real world, and be trusted to make sensible decisions.
