How to Dock Your Boat Like a Pro

Picture this: you’re a brand new boater on your brand new vessel. You got your boat in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis to give you and your family a fun and safe activity, and you’re loving it. You’ve taken your boat out on the inter coastal, and out into the open ocean, and with every trip you’re getting more and more comfortable.

As Covid restrictions get lifted, you decide that you want to take the boat to a waterfront restaurant for a nice evening with your spouse and family, but you’re scared. You’ve might have docked at your marina, but this is a different story: there will be people there watching you. We’ve all seen the docking fail videos on YouTube, and every new boater’s worst nightmare is to end up on one of those videos.

That’s why, this week, we’re momentarily switching our focus from anchoring, to docking. To help you, we’ve got one of the most detailed videos on the internet about how to dock like a pro by Born Again Boating, a YouTube channel dedicated to helping new boaters learn the ins and outs of boating. Their Technician Tuesday series is perfect for new boaters trying to learn the skills they need to get the most out of their boating experience. They’ve previously done a great video about how to anchor at a sandbar that featured Fortress Anchors.

In this video, you’ll learn how to dock in multiple scenarios with single engine and multi-engine boats.
