Satellite coordinate frame or uploaded harbour plan
Anchor the canvas to your marina's real latitude, longitude and metre span, or upload a harbour plan image as the visual reference layer.
Marina Studio & maps / Berth Manager
Marina mapping software. Draw the harbour you know.
Start with satellite imagery or your own plan. Turn the outline into an editable berth map, then check every placement against the actual marina.

How do you turn a picture into a working marina map?
A useful marina map maker needs to preserve the shape of the harbour while leaving the owner in control of the inventory. In Studio, the geographic frame, berth objects and schematic features stay connected as you change the presentation.
Use the source image as a reference, review suggested boat and free-space objects, then refine the layout. A clean schematic is useful for the office and for guests, but the underlying berth positions, capacities and prices should remain deliberate records rather than details painted into an image.
In the workspace
From setup to daily use.
- 01
Set the frame
Choose the marina location and map span, or upload an existing aerial image or plan. Confirm the reference before detecting or drawing objects.
- 02
Arrange the berths
Inspect candidates, approve the useful ones and correct the rest. Rotate, align and normalize selected boat icons; set real vessel limits and rates for the berth records.
- 03
Choose the presentation
Keep a source-image view, edit a vector schematic or request an AI plan image. The saved berth overlay can remain visible across the views.
Worked example / tracing one pontoon row
A better-looking map starts with better source decisions.
Start with a frame where the shore, dock edges and individual vessels can be distinguished. Review a manageable row first. A broad aerial view may show the whole harbour while hiding the detail needed to place each berth correctly.
| The step | What to do | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Inspect the source | Check image coverage, scale, date where known, shadows and whether the pontoon fingers are visible. | If a section is obscured or too small to interpret, use a clearer reference or draw and verify it manually. |
| Refine the row | Select the relevant icons, set a common visual size and rotation, and align them with the actual pontoon. | Use a separate selection for a row with a different orientation. One angle rarely suits every basin in a marina. |
| Review every view | Save, reload, then inspect aerial, cartographic, blueprint, illustrated and 3D presentations. | The berth IDs and positions should agree. An exported image is a saved snapshot; export again after editing the layout. |
The setup notebook
Before treating a layout as finished
- The full marina is inside the reference frame and the imagery is visible.
- Duplicate boats, access lanes and uncertain detections have been reviewed.
- Berths follow the appropriate pontoon rather than an arbitrary global angle.
- Saved geometry is checked in Studio, the public map and fresh exports.
3D buildings and heights are illustrative. These views explain a layout; they are not a surveyed digital twin, a navigation chart or a source of verified depths.
Product capabilities
Studio tools for building and refining your harbour map.
Marina Studio combines geographic framing, optional AI candidate detection, precision vector alignment and multi-layer SVG export in one browser editor.
Assisted boat detection and free-space suggestions
Run optional background detection jobs to outline observed vessels and candidate water spaces, then approve, resize, rotate or discard each suggestion before it touches inventory.
Row alignment, uniform boat sizing and rotation
Select multiple berth icons along a pontoon to align rows, distribute spacing evenly and normalize visual icon dimensions while keeping commercial metre capacities independent.
Source view, vector schematic and layered SVG export
Switch between aerial imagery, cartographic or blueprint vector schematics and optional AI plan renders, or export a multi-layer Inkscape-compatible SVG diagram.
Connected roles
Why an editable berth map matters across the marina.
A map tied to live berth records serves setup planners, daily dock staff and visiting crews looking for their assigned pontoon.
Digitise the harbour layout without CAD complexity
Start from satellite coordinates or an existing brochure plan, trace pontoons and land polygons, and organize berths by zone in a guided web workspace.
Keep visual positions matched to berth codes
See exactly which pontoon finger or Mediterranean mooring corresponds to each berth code, and update statuses when harbour works affect a section of the quay.
Understand the harbour layout before approaching
Inspect the published marina map in the directory to see basin geometry, pontoon arrangement and berth placement alongside arrival instructions.
Three ways to read the same layout
Source image
Satellite or uploaded imagery gives the owner a visual reference for the coastline, pontoons and observed boats. Image age and visibility affect what can be detected.
Editable schematic
Vector features and berth objects stay editable on the canvas. Choose a cartographic, blueprint or illustrated style, then adjust the layout where it needs attention.
Generated plan image
An optional image generation request can create another presentation of the marina. Review the result against the source; berth records and overlays remain the basis for inventory.
AI scans and image generation depend on the configured provider. Results can be incomplete or inaccurate; a finished-looking image is not proof of safe geometry or availability.
Explore a saved layout
See the places behind the plan.
Open the Santa Eulalia marina profile, select a mapped place and compare the aerial reference with the cartographic, blueprint and illustrated views. The 3D view uses the same saved place identities and positions.
Mapped places help you understand the marina. Contact the operator for confirmed vessel limits, availability and rates. Buildings and heights in 3D are illustrative.
Before you start
A few practical questions.
Can I edit a schematic after generating it?
The vector schematic and berth objects can be edited in Studio. A generated raster plan is an image background; edit the canvas objects over it rather than treating every painted detail as a vector object.
Can I close the tab during an AI map job?
Saved-marina scan, environment and overview jobs run through a background queue. Reopen Studio to inspect the result and apply it. If the worker is interrupted, the job shows a failure and an explicit retry option; outdated results cannot silently replace a changed layout.
Can I export the marina map for harbour signage or desktop design?
Yes. Studio includes a layered SVG export with separate groups for water, land, pontoons, berths, labels and scale bars so you can open and refine the diagram in Inkscape or other vector editors.
Does resizing a boat icon on the map change the berth's commercial metre limits?
You stay in control of both. Normalizing or resizing selected icons in Studio keeps the visual map tidy, while the berth's maximum LOA, beam and draft remain explicit commercial fields that you confirm.
