Small team. Real results. We get this industry because we love the water.
We started BurtSide because we kept seeing the same thing: incredible businesses run by people who live for the water — getting crushed online by operations with bigger budgets and better tech.
Charter captains with 30 years of experience and zero online reviews. Marina owners paying thousands in booking commissions they shouldn't owe. Bait shop operators losing customers to competitors who simply showed up on Google first.
We built one platform to fix all of it. Not a tool you have to figure out — a done-for-you system that brings in customers, books them, follows up, and gets reviews. So you can do what you actually love.
Builder, angler, and the reason BurtSide exists. Started this because he was tired of watching great marine businesses lose to bad tech.
The person who makes sure everything runs smoothly. We're looking for them right now.
The builder behind the platform. We're assembling the right team — no rushing it.
Built in RVA, where the James River runs through the city and the Chesapeake Bay is a short drive. We're close to the water, close to the businesses we serve, and close to the coast. But we work with marine businesses everywhere.
It starts with a free website. Where it goes from there is up to you.
