SlipRezi Is Now Integrated with Argo Navigation: Find Open Slips in Real Time
If you have ever planned a perfect day on the water only to spend it circling docks in a no-wake zone, you are not alone. Dock-and-dine boating is one of the most popular parts of a day on the water and one of the most unpredictable.
That is where SlipRezi comes in.
SlipRezi is a real-time dock availability platform that lets boaters see whether a waterfront restaurant or marina has space before they arrive. SlipRezi is now integrated directly into Argo Navigation, making it easier than ever to plan routes, check dock availability, and enjoy your day with confidence in one app.
How to Find Open Slips in Real Time with SlipRezi
SlipRezi was built around a simple idea: availability first, reservations optional.
Instead of guessing or calling ahead, SlipRezi prompts dock staff or hosts to quickly update dock status with a single tap. Boaters can then see that information inside Argo while planning their route.
SlipRezi does not require businesses to offer reservations or charge for dock space. If they choose to offer guaranteed paid slips, boaters can reserve them. If not, the real-time status alone helps prevent frustration.
To find SlipRezi locations inside Argo, boaters can use Argo’s search tools to explore nearby restaurants, marinas, and waterfront stops.

Why Dock Availability Matters for Trip Planning
Dock access shapes the entire boating experience, especially in busy areas and seasonal hotspots. SlipRezi is particularly helpful in:
- Busy waterfront dining zones during weekends and holidays
- Seasonal boating hotspots
- High-traffic fuel docks and popular lunch stops
- Family outings or rental trips where timing matters
By pairing SlipRezi with Argo’s routing tools, boaters can plan stops that work in real time instead of hoping for the best.

The Benefits of Using SlipRezi Inside Argo Navigation
Using SlipRezi within Argo helps boaters:
- Save time by avoiding full docks and unnecessary detours
- Reduce stress in no-wake zones and peak boating hours
- Plan stops with more confidence in unfamiliar areas
- Keep navigation, planning, and dock access in one app
Instead of circling docks while worrying about where to eat, boaters can use one app to solve all their problems.
Founder Q&A: How SlipRezi Started
We spoke with founder Captain Matthew “Huck” Hagerty to understand how SlipRezi works.
After moving to Southwest Florida, Hagerty found himself captaining family outings on weekends. His routine became frustratingly repetitive. Idle through a no-wake zone for 20 to 30 minutes. Circle another 20 to 30 minutes. Only to discover the dock was full while a nearby restaurant had open slips.
“They had room,” Hagerty said. “We just had no way to know.”
With a background in boating technology and firsthand experience in dock operations and rentals, he realized the dock-and-dine experience was a problem no one wanted to solve, but he was ready to try.
Instead of trying to control docks, SlipRezi focuses on clarity.
Early versions were simple. A QR code taped to a piling and a shared spreadsheet. The impact was immediate. Fewer phone calls. Less circling. Happier dock staff.
Why SlipRezi and Argo Work Better Together
SlipRezi’s integration into Argo Navigation closes a major gap in trip planning.
“Argo is already where boaters plan,” Hagerty explained. “They trust it for routes, tides, hazards, and where boaters gather. SlipRezi adds dock access.”
Together, Argo and SlipRezi allow boaters to:
- Navigate confidently
- See real-time dock availability
- Reserve optional guaranteed slips when offered
All without switching apps.
Best Locations to Use SlipRezi
SlipRezi is already active in high-traffic boating areas where dock access can make or break a day on the water.
This integration is especially helpful in destinations like:
- Miami, Florida, a global boating destination with heavy dock-and-dine traffic
