How PierShare Can Help You
Every year, Boaters face a challenge finding a dock, and the Miami International Boat Show 2020 will be no different. As the show nears, the host marinas and piers will ask Boaters renting out dock slips to leave. This will be to make way for the vessels that will be on paraded during the show.
The domino effect will be that dock spaces in other marinas in Miami will quickly get booked up. Also, these marinas are likely to increase the rental price of their docks. since the demand for docks in Miami around the time of the boat show will rise considerably.
However, PierShare provides a solution to this problem for Boaters. We can give Boaters a new way to rent a dock that previously did not exist. We have many slips in various parts of Miami, and our docks cater for boats of many different shapes and sizes. Additionally, with us, Boaters can choose to rent a dock on a transient, day-to-day basis or for a longer period of time. And with our flexible and user-friendly system, you can extend a transient docking to a longer-term arrangement after you secure a dock with us as well, if you wish.
So, give one of our docks a try during the boat show. And who knows? You may end up liking our service and stay for longer. After-all, our dock spaces are significantly cheaper than marinas.
