An on-water fuel pump at a marina selling gasoline or diesel directly to boats without trailering.
A marina fuel dock is an on-water fuel pumping station that sells gasoline or diesel directly to boats while they're still in the water. Owners don't need to trailer the boat to a gas station. Boats pull alongside the fuel dock, the attendant pumps fuel into the boat's onboard tank, and payment happens dock-side via card reader. Marinas charge a premium over road-side gas prices (typically $0.50-$1.50/gallon above gas-station rates) reflecting infrastructure cost. Fuel docks also typically sell engine oil, two-stroke pre-mix, pump-out service, and bait. Fuel-dock presence is a significant factor in marina selection for boats over 25 feet where land-based fueling is impractical.
