Customer Testimonials

OnBuoy gives us an easy way to help protect the eelgrass in our local waters. Visitors to [our area] don’t have to drop anchor and we control who gets to use our tie up.

Owner of private buoy in North Sound

Our mooring ball sits unused most of the year. OnBuoy makes it easy for us to share our buoy with boaters passing through our area and we earn a little money in the process. It's a win-win!

Waterfront property owner w/ a private buoy

Super easy to use. It's like Airbnb for guest moorage. We quickly found a spot to tie up for the day and paid with just a few clicks.
