The basics your agent needs to introduce itself and represent you professionally.

About you

Your agent will use this when introducing herself to callers.

Enter any format — we'll handle the rest. No need to add +1.

We'll email you a recap after every booking call.

What callers will know her as. Default is Marina — change it to anything you like.

Example intro with your info:
Hi, this is Marina, booking assistant for Captain Rodney — how can I help you today?

If you fill this in, your agent will say this word for word as her opening line.

📧 After each AI-handled call, your agent will email you a booking recap at the address above.

Step 05 of 06

Phone Setup

Choose how you want Marina to answer — forwarding from your personal number, or as a standalone booking line.

How do you want Marina to work?

Option A — Forward from your personal number

Clients keep calling your same number. If you don't answer, the call automatically forwards to Marina. You stay in control — Marina only picks up when you don't.

Option B — Use Dock Desk as your main booking number

Give clients your Dock Desk number directly — put it on your website, business cards, or social. Marina answers every call. No forwarding setup needed, skip the steps below.

Your Dock Desk number

Your dedicated Dock Desk number

Assigned when you activate

Your number is assigned instantly when you click Activate on the next step.

Marina is configured to pick up after 20 seconds (about 4 rings) — this is set automatically and timed to answer before your voicemail kicks in. No changes needed.

How to set up call forwarding

1

iPhone

Go to Settings → Phone → Call Forwarding. Turn it on and enter your Dock Desk number. Or dial *21*[number]# to forward all calls.

2

Android

Go to Phone app → Settings → Call Forwarding. Set "Forward when unanswered" to your Dock Desk number.

3

Quick toggle for on the water

Before you leave the dock, just dial *72[DockDeskNumber] to enable forwarding. When you're back, dial *73 to disable it. Takes 5 seconds.
