Learn How to Dock Your Boat Like a Pro

Docking your boat can be simple and look pretty cool if you follow a few steps. First, visualize your approach and have a plan. Decide whether you want to use a parallel or swinging approach to bring your boat alongside the dock. Perhaps it’s best to back your boat in. Allow for wind, current, and other boats. Luckily, if you go in with a plan and consider the right variables, you’ll be docking like a boss in no time.

I have to admit that unless I'm in a favorite place, I get very stressed out about docking. I avoid it and have my husband do it (he can already dock like a pro). Practice makes perfect but it's still scary, I don't want to damage anything!
This has been really helpful - I actually took notes! There is so much to think about but you're right, in the end, all you need is a plan. I don't know if you offer lessons in person but from all the knowledge you provide about boats, it seems like you should!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I think most people feel the pressure of docking their boat - especially if you're not familiar with the slip or if a lot of people are watching.
