This Power BI Marina Management Dashboard is built for harbor masters, marina operators, yacht club managers, and small boat-yard owners who need decision-grade analytics on slip occupancy, mooring revenue, fuel sales, repair-service profitability, and member retention — without paying $99 to $499 per month for marina-management SaaS like DockMaster, MarinaOffice, or Molo. The .pbix file is fully editable, runs on free Power BI Desktop, and can be published to Power BI Service for browser and mobile access.
🔑 Key Features of the Marina Dashboard in Power BI
📊 5 interactive report pages — Overview, Revenue Trend, Service Analysis, Customer Insights, and Marina Sections give marina operators a complete operational picture from a single .pbix file. Every page shares the same data model, so a slicer click on one page filters consistently across the entire report.
⛵ 4-way slicer filtering — Filter by Vessel Type, Service Type, Customer Type, and Marina Section to drill into yacht-club members, transient day-trippers, dry-storage tenants, or specific dock zones. Slicers use Power BI cross-filtering documented in the official Microsoft Power BI slicer guide.
💰 4 KPI cards on the Overview page — Total Bookings, Total Revenue, Net Profit, and Average Satisfaction update instantly the moment you change a slicer or refresh the data source. Every card pulls from the same underlying data table for consistency across pages.
📈 14 pre-built visuals across 5 pages — Revenue by Month, Profit Margin, Revenue vs Cost trends, Service Type profitability, Customer Type satisfaction comparison, and Marina Section performance — all driven by a clean DAX model that scales without performance issues on bookings tables up to 1 million rows.
🔄 Refresh-and-go workflow, no DAX edits required — Replace the sample dataset with your own bookings export from your POS or marina-management system, click Home → Refresh, and the entire dashboard rebuilds in seconds. No measures to rewrite, no relationships to remap.
💼 Designed for marinas of any size — Whether you operate a 50-slip family marina, a 300-slip yacht club, or a multi-section commercial harbor, the data model handles 5,000 to 1,000,000+ booking rows without report slowdown.
📱 Mobile-ready via Power BI Service — Publish the .pbix to Power BI Service and your dock managers, board members, and accountants can open the report on iOS or Android through the free Power BI mobile app. No file emailing, no version drift.
📦 What’s Inside the Marina Dashboard in Power BI
Page 1: Overview Page
The Overview page presents the marina’s complete performance picture on a single canvas. Four KPI cards at the top display Total Bookings, Total Revenue, Net Profit, and Average Satisfaction. Four visuals beneath them cover Total Revenue by Month Name (annual revenue cycle including peak boating season), Profit Margin (overall profitability gauge), Total Bookings by Vessel Type (sailboat vs powerboat vs personal watercraft mix), and Total Revenue by Service Type (mooring, fuel, repair, storage breakdown). Multiple slicers above the cards filter the entire page by vessel, service, customer type, or section.
Overview Page
Page 2: Revenue Trend
The Revenue Trend page focuses on financial momentum across time. Visuals include Net Profit by Month Name (bottom-line monthly health), Total Bookings by Status (confirmed vs cancelled vs no-show separation), Total Revenue by Year (multi-year growth trajectory), and Total Revenue and Total Cost by Month Name (margin-gap visualization on a combined axis). This page is ideal for monthly board reviews and lender meetings where year-over-year financial trends matter most.
Revenue Trend
Page 3: Service Analysis
The Service Analysis page breaks down performance by service line. Visuals include Profit Margin by Service Type (which services produce the highest margin), Average Satisfaction by Service Type (which services keep customers happiest), and Total Cost by Service Type (where operating cost is concentrated). Use this page to identify which services — mooring, fuel sales, hull cleaning, winter storage, engine repair — deserve more investment and which to renegotiate or drop.
Service Analysis
Page 4: Customer Insights
The Customer Insights page profiles the marina’s customer mix. Visuals include Total Revenue by Customer Type (revenue contribution by segment), Total Bookings by Customer Type (volume by segment), and Average Satisfaction by Customer Type (experience consistency across segments). Compare annual members against transient visitors, charter operators against private owners, and see which customer segment delivers the most lifetime value per booking.
Customer Insights
Page 5: Marina Sections
The Marina Sections page maps performance to physical zones in the harbor. Visuals include Total Revenue by Marina Section (which docks earn the most), Average Satisfaction by Marina Section (where customer experience varies), and Total Bookings by Marina Section (which zones run at capacity). Spot which docks are underutilized, where satisfaction is slipping, and where the next renovation budget should land.

💼 Real-World Use Cases
Marcus owns a 120-slip marina on the Chesapeake Bay. Each month he points the Marina Dashboard in Power BI at his Square POS export and dock-software booking log, refreshes, and publishes the Overview and Revenue Trend pages to Power BI Service for his lender review. He used to pay $249/month for a marina-management dashboard he barely used — now he pays $17.99 once and spends 5 minutes a month on reporting.
Helena runs operations for a 4-location yacht-club group in Florida. She duplicates the Marina Dashboard in Power BI for each location, then maintains a master rollup that combines all four data sources. The Marina Sections page helps her board decide which site needs the next dock-renovation budget by showing slip-level revenue and satisfaction side by side.
Diego is a fractional CFO consulting for three small marinas. He uses the Customer Insights page to coach owners on shifting their booking mix toward annual members (higher LTV, lower acquisition cost) versus transient day visitors. The template paid for itself the first time he used it in a client engagement.
