BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
Snag-A-Slip, an online boat slip reservation company, announced today that it has acquired Marinalife, a leading source for premium content, marina information and cruising concierge services. The move solidifies Snag-A-Slip as a leader in the boat slip reservation industry and boosts the company’s focus on concierge services and the overall customer experience. The acquisition will further support the company’s sales and marketing efforts around the country, and in the Caribbean.
“This is an exciting moment for Snag-A-Slip,” said Dan Cowens, Founder, Snag-A-Slip. “All of us at Snag-A-Slip have a great deal of respect for the Marinalife product and team. We share a similar passion for boating and our mission is the same — to encourage boaters to explore the waterways and enjoy great destinations. We look forward to growing together as we create new experiences for marinas and boaters alike.”
The announcement comes on the heels of the close of Snag-A-Slip’s Series A round, which closed at $4.8 Million in funding led by Claritas Capital.
