Marina WiFi for Transients and Slip Holders

Transient boaters buy a pass on the dock. Slip holders get a monthly service with autopay. Every device on the boat shares one code, and the dock office can send a code by SMS.

  • Day, week and month passes with a device limit per boat
  • Monthly or seasonal service for slip holders, billed automatically
  • Codes by SMS or WhatsApp from the dock office

Running WiFi at a marina

Marinas mix short visits with long seasons, and boats carry more devices than a hotel room. ISPbox handles transient boaters with hotspot passes and slip holders with regular monthly service, on the same MikroTik and RADIUS setup.

Transient boaters

Boaters join the marina SSID and land on its splash page. They buy a pass, enter a code from the office, or sign in with a phone number and a one-time code. Each pass has a validity, a speed, a device limit and an optional data cap, and devices are remembered by MAC so they reconnect for the rest of the stay. The guest page lets them add a device such as a TV by its MAC address.

Slip holders

A slip holder can be a normal customer with a monthly, seasonal or prepaid service, card autopay and a customer portal. Service is tied to the marina location, so messages and outage notices reach everyone there.

Works with Hotspot & Captive Portal, Campground & RV Park WiFi, Prepaid Billing, Network Monitoring

02 Why this feature matters

Built for high-speed ISP operations

One Code per Boat

A pass can allow several devices, so the whole crew shares one code while a neighbouring boat needs its own.

Slip Holders Pay Monthly

Annual and seasonal slip holders can be regular subscribers with invoices, autopay and a customer portal.

Codes Without the Office

A boater arriving after hours buys online, or staff send a code by SMS, WhatsApp or email from anywhere.

Several Marinas, One System

Each marina is a location with its own routers, splash page and passes, with revenue reported per site.
