Our Marine Directory Just Got a Lot Bigger — 27,000+ Listings, and It Is Not Just Marine Shops Anymore
May 7, 2026 • OL Admin • 6 min read
When we launched the Marine Directory earlier this year, it had about 20,000 listings — boat dealers, marinas, mechanics, fuel docks, and the usual suspects. Good. Useful. But incomplete.
As of today, the directory has 27,000+ verified business listings across 50 US states and 50+ categories. And the new categories are not what you would expect from a “marine directory.”
What Changed
We added lifestyle categories — services that every boater actually needs but no marine directory has ever listed:
- Emergency Medical / Walk-In Clinics / ERs — 800+ listings. Because accidents happen on the water, and the nearest ER should not be a mystery.
- Pet Sitting / Boarding — 480+ listings. Drop your dog off before you launch. We mapped the closest options to popular boat ramps and marinas.
- Veterinary / Pet Emergency — 470+ listings. When your pet needs urgent care and you are 200 miles from your regular vet.
- Food Delivery / Local Restaurants — 1,290+ listings. Decent food near the ramp, the marina, or your Airbnb. Not just the nearest chain.
- Waterfront Restaurants — 160+ dock-and-dine spots, tiki bars, and waterfront eateries.
- Trailer Repair — 310+ listings. Axle service, bearing repacks, welding, and emergency trailer work near boat ramps.
- Roadside / Trailer Assistance — 670+ listings. When your trailer breaks down on the way to the water.
- Fuel Delivery — Mobile fuel delivered to your dock or marina slip.
- Boat Transport / Hauling — 160+ overland transport services.
- Public / Transient Docks — Courtesy docks and transient slips for short stops and overnight stays.
Why This Matters — A Real-World Scenario
You trailered your boat to a lake you have never been to. Your family is hungry, the dog needs to stretch, and you just heard a grinding noise from the left hub. Google Reviews gives you a pizza place 40 minutes away and an auto shop that has not been updated since 2019.
Our directory gives you all of it in one search — decent food, the closest boat ramp to your hotel, last-minute trailer maintenance, and a pet emergency vet. All mapped. All near the water. No marine directory does this. Google does not filter for “near a boat ramp.” We do.
For Business Owners and Advertisers
If you run a mobile marine mechanic shop, a pet-sitting business near a marina, a waterfront restaurant, or a trailer repair outfit — you are already in the directory.

The Marine Categories Are Still There
All the core marine categories remain — 11,700+ boat dealers, 810+ marinas, 820+ repair shops, 960+ marine supply stores, 780+ fuel docks, 330+ boat ramps, and dozens more. The lifestyle categories are additions, not replacements.
What Is Next
We are continuing to expand coverage — more cities, more categories, and more verified data. The directory also supports voice search, so you can say “fuel dock near Tampa” or “walk-in clinic near Lake of the Ozarks” and get mapped results instantly.
