Management software for marinas, tourist ports and boatyards

Note

The user interface of Porto is in Italian and English. The guide quotes the Italian labels of the panel where it helps to find them; switch the panel to English from your account menu.

The whole marina in one system

Porto covers the full cycle of a marina and a boatyard. Use only the modules you need: a boatyard without berths in the water can work with yards, sheds, work orders and lifting equipment alone.

Why Porto

• Free for marinas you run yourself: no fee and no limit on berths, contracts or users. Source available under the BSL 1.1, which becomes AGPL-3.0 after 3 years (licence).
• No commission on online transits: payments go through your own Stripe account, or bank transfer and cash.
• Works without internet: the desktop app keeps server and data on the office PC.
• To-scale map: two boats in the same space on the same night are prevented by the database.
• Invoices stay in your software: Porto exports charges “to invoice” and never changes them afterwards.
• No artificial intelligence, no telemetry: marina data goes to nobody, Coste360 included.

Frequently asked questions

Is Porto really free?

Yes, for the facilities you run: marinas, berthing points, boatyards and dry-storage sites you own or operate directly, with no fee and no limit on berths, contracts or users. A commercial licence from Coste360 SRL is needed only to offer Porto as a service to third parties (hosting, installation, support, resale).

Does Porto issue electronic invoices?

No. Porto computes charges (instalments, transits, services, utilities, work orders, rentals, fees) and exports them "to invoice" as CSV, Excel or PDF for the invoicing software you already use. Reconciliation then links the issued invoices to the charges.

Are there commissions on transits booked online?

No. Online payments go through your own Stripe account and you pay only the card network fees. You can also leave online payments off and confirm transits at the desk by bank transfer or cash.

Does it work without internet?

Yes, with the desktop app: server and data live on the office PC and phones connect over the marina Wi-Fi. Only online booking, online payments and remote signatures need internet.

Can I manage several marinas?

Yes. One installation manages several marinas, each with its own maps, price lists, contracts, users and booking page. Above 300 berths or with several marinas PostgreSQL is recommended.

Does Porto use artificial intelligence?

No. Porto has no AI features, sends no data to AI services and has no telemetry: document data is entered by the operator.
