Overview
The Wanderlust Group (TWG) builds and operates a set of outdoor travel technology platforms that connect boaters and campers with marinas and campsites. Its main products are Dockwa, Marinas.com, and Campouts.com. Dockwa helps marinas attract new boaters, streamline reservations, and improve guest experiences by providing a booking and operations platform. Marinas.com offers a comprehensive directory of marine locations with reviews and high-resolution aerial photography to aid trip planning. Campouts.com connects campers with campsites and provides a seamless online booking flow. TWG earns revenue through subscription fees charged to marinas and campsites and transaction fees from bookings made on its platforms. Unlike others who focus on a single activity, TWG spans boating and camping, building a unified marketplace and technology stack that supports destinations and outdoor adventures.
