Marina WiFi that feels like home on every berth

A private network for every berth holder, a branded welcome for visiting boaters, guest WiFi that fills the café and the regatta, and secure access for staff and kit across the pontoons. One platform, run on the access points you already own.

• A Private Area Network for every berth
• Branded welcome for visiting boaters
• xPSK for pontoon devices
• 99.9% RADIUS uptime SLA

A typical marina today

• One harbor password, printed on the shower block door and shared with every boat
• Berth holders’ laptops, TVs and chartplotters visible to every other boat on the pontoon
• Visiting boaters who connect, leave and are never heard from again
• Staff tablets, cameras and the fuel berth till on the same network as the guests

With Purple

• Every berth holder gets a private key of their own, so there is no shared password to leak
• Each berth sits in its own Private Area Network, its devices visible only to that boat
• Visiting crews sign in once and land in your CRM with CCPA/CPRA consent recorded
• Staff sign in with their work account and every device gets its own key and VLAN

Their boat, their network, from the first night aboard

Annual berth holders and liveaboards treat the boat as a second home, with a laptop, a smart TV, speakers and the onboard systems all wanting to connect. Purple gives every berth its own Private Area Network on iPSK, so their devices join once, find each other and stay invisible to every other boat in the marina.

• One private key per berth, with no cap on the devices that use it
• Smart TVs and speakers discoverable only inside that boat’s private network bubble
• Keys expire or revoke one at a time when a berth contract ends, with nothing to change for anyone else
• Works under your vendor’s name: iPSK on Cisco, DPSK on Ruckus, MPSK on HPE Aruba and Juniper Mist, PPSK on Extreme and UniFi

A key can be bound to the first device that uses it, so a password passed along the pontoon does not let another boat onto the berth holder’s network.

Turn a night on the visitor pontoon into a return booking

Visiting crews arrive tired, need the forecast, and want to tell family they are safe. That is the receptive moment. Purple greets them with a branded sign-in moment on the phone they are already holding, records CCPA/CPRA consent with a full audit trail, and sends the details to the systems your marketing team already uses.

• Branded captive portal with social and email sign-in
• Consented contacts sent to your CRM through 400+ data connectors
• Passpoint profiles so returning crews connect automatically, encrypted from the moment they join
• DNS content filtering on the guest network for families aboard

Know who comes to the waterfront, and bring them back

Walkers, diners, boat show visitors and regatta crowds come to the marina without ever renting a berth. Guest WiFi in the café, bar, chandlery and event spaces turns those visits into first-party data you own, so the next open day, boat jumble or race week has an audience waiting.

• Sign-in pages that change for each event, with a slot for sponsors
• Visitor numbers, repeat visits and dwell time for the café and events team
• Permission-based data, ready for your email and CRM platforms
• Kept entirely separate from berth holder and staff networks

One login for the harbor office, the fuel berth and the boatyard

Marina staff move between the office, the pontoons, the fuel berth and the boatyard, and the harbor runs on kit that cannot type a password: cameras, door controllers, EPOS tills and sensors. Staff sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace, and every device gets a key of its own.

• Seasonal staff gain access when their account is created and lose it when it is disabled
• Cameras, door controllers, tills and sensors each on their own key and VLAN
• Time-limited keys for contractors and boatyard engineers, with no MDM needed
• Every staff session logged against a named person, device, time and location

Run four networks with the harbor team you already have

Marina teams look after berths, fuel, moorings, events and the café long before they look after a network. Purple takes the WiFi off their list and hands the commercial team a guest list it can use.
