Pick a Pier, founded in 2017 by a team of passionate boating enthusiasts using technology solutions to connect boaters and marinas, has gained over 30 new marina signings to their AI-driven platform in Q1, 2022, offering hundreds of marinas on their platforms.
Marinas from across Europe have signed up to the Pick a Pier platform, including UK-based gold anchor awarded, TransEurope Marina, Emsworth Yacht Harbour.

President of Marina Uno, Giorgio Ardito said: “We are excited to get onboard with Pick a Pier especially to help in communicating with our existing berth holders and promoting the marina to new visitors.”
“We look forward to using Pick a Pier to help us optimise our berth availability and reduce admin burden for both us and our boaters,” said Tom Marfleet, marina manager at Emsworth Marina.
