A method of reserving a mooring beacon includes activating an application programming interface in communication with a database of mooring sites; transmitting a wireless signal from the application programming interface to a first mooring site within the database of mooring sites; selecting the mooring beacon from the first mooring site; receiving a location and availability of the mooring beacon; and reserving the mooring beacon for a desired reservation time. The mooring beacon is attached to each mooring site for purposes of instantaneous confirmation of availability and location. Safety, navigation ease, local weather and drop off and pick up data are also permitted by the mooring beacon enabling the owner to work toward full capacity mooring use.
