Company/About
◆ About

We build dealer software the way dealers wish software was built.

Our CEO Priya Sharma grew up in a Fort Myers boat dealership her grandfather opened in 1961. She watched her dad wrestle DockMaster for twenty years — export CSV, email to the website guy, wait, repeat. BoaterOS is what she wishes he had.

Our thesis

Three things we believe, unreasonably.

We're not building a better DockMaster. We're replacing the category.

01

The boat industry runs on Windows-era software.

DockMaster, IDS Astra, Lightspeed EVO — all built before the iPhone. Dealers patch their workflow with Excel, Mailchimp, and a WordPress site they can't edit. The industry deserves a platform built this decade.

02

AI closes deals when dealers sleep.

A $400k boat buyer googles at 11pm on a Sunday. If your website can't answer, you lost them to a dealer 400 miles away who happened to pick up. We built AI that sells like your best rep — without a shift differential.

03

One vendor beats six.

A modern dealership shouldn't need DockMaster + HubSpot + Mailchimp + WordPress + Excel + DocuSign. One database. One login. One bill. One vendor to call when something breaks.

Our promises

Three commitments we make to every dealer.

The industry we serve is built on craft, service, and the long view. We hold our company to the same standard.

◆ 01

100% American.

Just like our industry, we're making a guarantee to only hire American. That extends to our vendors and the software we use to make your dealership great. The boating industry is American manufacturing at its best — our team and our supply chain reflect that.

◆ 02

Customer service that matches the industry.

Top dealerships understand that boating is one of the few industries that requires great service, up and down the chain. We hold ourselves to the same standard.

  • A dedicated account rep — no matter the package level
  • Unparalleled support: phone, SMS, email, in-product
  • Founders take customer calls; the buck stops with the team that builds the software
◆ 03

Never selling out.

We will never sell to private equity. Long-term, we plan to fold this business into the broader boating ecosystem so that many more generations of Americans have access to the experience of boating. We're playing for fifty years, not five.

The team

A dealer's daughter, and the best operators we know.

Founder-led. Dealer-obsessed. We pair people who have shipped real software at scale with people who have actually worked a dock.

"These folks understood a boat dealership from the first call. I've been pitched by 40 DMS companies in 30 years. Nobody ever asked about the slip lease."
