Vessel facts
Have the year, make/model, vessel type and the dimensions you know: LOA, beam, draft and approximate weight. Facility-dependent work may need all of them.
YARDSLOT RESOURCE CENTER
Understand the job before the job starts.
Marine-service guidance, request preparation, YardSlot’s matching and quote process, service families, coverage areas and published guides — all in one place.THE SIMPLE VERSIONTell us what the boat needs.
YardSlot keeps the request, provider sourcing, quote evidence and next service step connected.
One request • connected service path
BEFORE YOU REQUEST
Better input creates a better match.
You do not need every answer. Give YardSlot the facts you know and leave uncertain information marked as uncertain.Location & access
Tell YardSlot where the boat is now: marina, slip, private dock, lift, yard, storage or another location. Include access limits or permission requirements you already know.
Problem & evidence
Describe the symptom or requested work in plain language. Photos, videos, warning codes and prior service information can help explain the condition and speed up provider review.
Timing & mobility
Include when you need the work, whether the boat can move under its own power, and whether towing, haul-out, transport or another dependency may be needed.
HOW YARDSLOT WORKS NOW
From request to quote without losing the thread.
The workflow is designed to keep provider facts, customer facts and YardSlot charges separate while the job moves forward.Start one request
Tell YardSlot what the boat needs, where it is and the vessel details you know.
Route the work
The request is separated into the correct service path: mechanical, electrical, towing, facility work, storage, specialty trades or a multi-trade project.
Check provider fit
YardSlot evaluates provider capability, vessel fit, geography, access, timing and job constraints to narrow suitable options.
Request provider quotes
For a live work item, YardSlot contacts suitable providers and keeps each response tied to the request and service scope.
Review quote evidence
Provider scope, pre-tax amount, availability, exclusions and terms stay tied to the provider response for comparison and quote preparation.
Receive a YardSlot-ready option
Approved provider pricing is turned into a customer-ready YardSlot quote using confirmed YardSlot fees and applicable tax records before the work moves toward booking.

Know what each number represents.
YardSlot separates provider work from YardSlot charges so the source of each amount remains clear.Requests are free to submit
You can start a sourcing or quote request without buying a membership. The request itself is not a paid membership product.
Provider price and YardSlot fees stay distinct
The provider’s pre-tax service amount is kept separate from YardSlot booking and sourcing/coordination fees. Applicable taxes and payment charges are organized with the customer-ready transaction details.
Customer-ready quotes are controlled
Internal sourcing, provider communications and direct provider contact details stay inside the coordination workflow until the authorized booking stage. The customer-facing quote focuses on scope, pricing, timing, exclusions and the next decision.
Membership can lower eligible YardSlot fees
Crew, Captain and Admiral currently provide 10%, 20% and 30% reductions on eligible YardSlot fees, along with saved-vessel and sourcing benefits.
