We're pleased to announce that Connecthedocks is now directly integrated with CiiRUS! Our users who manage docks and boat slips are encouraged to list on this exclusive channel focused on vacation rentals catering to the boating community.

Connecthedocks is an online platform connecting Best in class Dock Owners and Boaters.

Connecthedocks utilizes best in class Legal Contracts, one of a kind 1M Dock Host Liability Insurance, Boaters Liability/Hull Insurance vetting, Hold Harmless Agreements, and Industry leading Integrations for a best in class rental experience.

Connecthedocks gives the Dock Owner full control of the rental on the platform by showing the availability of the dock, determining when boat owners can access the boat, implementation of rules and procedures they see fit, and connecting the highest caliber pre-qualified boat owners to ensure smooth sailing when renting a dock.

Before getting started

Before getting started with this integration, it's important to configure your docks and boat slips as separate listings in CiiRUS. Each listing will represent a dock or slip, which you'll enable for booking through Connecthedocks.

Example Configuration:

Scenario: You have a lakefront unit with a boat dock.

  1. Listing 1: Lakefront unit 101 with boat dock

  2. Listing 2: Boat dock (101)

You would then enable only Listing 2 - Boat dock (101) to Connecthedocks.

Managing Bookings:

If a guest books the boat dock, you should either:

  • Place a blackout on the entire unit.

  • Notify the guest that the dock isn't available during their stay.

How to connect

To connect, navigate to:

  1. Connections

  2. Channel Manager

  3. Connecthedocks

When connecting for the first time, select the button, "Yes, Connect to Connecthedocks."

This will trigger an automated email to Connecthedocks with your contact information. They'll reach out to answer your questions and get you set up.

Enable your listings

Once you've set up your account with Connecthedocks, simply enable the applicable listings that represent the dock that you want to connect from your CiiRUS system.

To do so, from the grid, enable the checkbox, "Enable Listing" and click the "Save" icon located above the grid.
