But when compared with other similar marinas, your average daily rate shouldn't be well below or well above others without a good reason.

You can store transient, long-term and winter storage bookings in one place whether you take payments by cash, check or credit card. But even if you're using a hand-written ledger to track your bookings, keeping track of your average daily rate can help you understand how your marina is performing year-to-year and enable you to run pricing experiments that could lead to greater revenue. When combined with other metrics, your average daily rate can tell you even more.
