Reservations would make managing the supply and demand easy, that's how VT and NY do it.

Docks are simple and easy to deploy and they already have a bunch .

Ragged Island does not profit now and would just need to break even. They will likely sell out nearly every night between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
On slow days, they could leave the island un-staffed (like they do with great success now) and deal with payments online.
