For Marinas and Yacht Clubs

Filling berths and keeping members close

A marina lives or dies by occupancy and community. Real View helps you promote your waterfront to prospective berth-holders and keep existing members connected to the life of the harbour.

The challenge: berths to fill and a community to hold onto

Promoting a marina is a quiet, year-round task. You need a steady flow of enquiries for berths and moorings, visiting crews choosing your harbour over the next one along the coast, and members who feel part of something rather than simply renting a space. None of that is easy to convey through a website and a price list.

Real View gives your waterfront a presence. We place a live, real-time view of your marina in front of a wide audience, with your marina or club named on screen. Prospective berth-holders see a busy, well-run harbour; members glance at the water from wherever they are; and your location builds recognition with everyone who loves the sea.

Members check the water before they head down. A live view keeps your marina part of their day, wherever they are.

What it does for your marina

A stronger profile, fuller berths and a community that stays engaged — from one live view.

Fill more berths

A live view of a busy, well-kept waterfront is the most persuasive advertisement there is for prospective berth-holders and visiting crews weighing up where to stay.

🤝

Keep members engaged

Berth-holders can check conditions and the life of the marina from anywhere — a simple touch that deepens loyalty and belonging.

Raise your profile

Your marina’s name travels with the view into homes and workplaces, putting your harbour in front of an audience far beyond your usual reach.

Nothing to manage

Once connected, the view runs on its own. No editing, no posting, no day-to-day attention from your team.

How It Works

Whether you already run a harbour camera or are starting fresh, getting your view live is simple.

Connect your view

Already stream a camera online? We can work with your existing feed. Starting from scratch? The Real View Bridge — a small, pre-configured Raspberry Pi device — connects an ordinary camera to the platform with no technical work on your part.

We take it live

We handle the deployment. Your view goes live as a stable, broadcast-quality feed with your business named on screen — nothing for your team to manage day to day.

Reach your audience

Your view goes live in the free Real View app, with your business named on screen for everyone watching at home. You can run the very same view on a TV at your own venue, turning a screen by the door into a live window onto your location.

No camera yet? Our step-by-step setup guide lists the exact parts and includes our pre-configured Raspberry Pi image, so set-up stays simple and inexpensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this difficult to set up?

No. If you already have a waterfront camera online we can often use it. If not, the Real View Bridge — a small, pre-configured device — connects an ordinary camera with no technical work for your staff.

What does it cost?

Becoming a Real View Creator is free. You can share your view for exposure or earn commission as your audience grows — we will explain both.

What are the technical requirements?

A camera with a clear view of the water and a reliable internet connection. That is the extent of it; we handle deployment and keep the feed running.

How does it pay off for the marina?

Your marina is named on screen for everyone watching in the Real View app, and you can run the same view on a TV in the clubhouse. It supports berth enquiries, member retention and your wider reputation at once.

Do we keep control of the feed?

Yes. You choose the camera position and what it frames, and you can pause or change the view whenever you need to.
