I have been boating since I was a kid and I am 74 now, but I still enjoy watching this type of shows, because, even if I don't learn anything new, I am reminded of how to do it properly. I also find that I learn something new, more times than you would think as there are changes in technology and better idea's from other people. Keep up the good work, you make things easy to understand for us all.
He is exactly right when he says most people just trailer a boat and don’t have much experience with docking and cleats. I can totally relate to that and thank you for the lesson. I hope your RUclips channel makes you a ton of money.
I just came to see how many people had to bring up “ its a line, not a rope”. She probably knows how to tie off a boat better then 3/4 of the people who criticized her! Great video!
This information is right on the mark. I have been boating in Florida for over 50 years. I learned these principles early and have never has any dock problems.
Thank you so much for all assistance!!! You'll never know how much you helped me. I am about to be a first time boat owner and I am doing my research in every area possible!!! MUCH LOVE!!!
I live in at NC Coast where most people have floating docks. A few weeks ago was the first time taking my 24' bay boat to Florida Keys fishing where I had a rental canal house and I was a nervous wreck about tying at a fixed dock for a week. I saw this video while researching best options and forgot everything any others had to say. I purchased 4 25' dock lines just for this, tied boat exactly like shown and it worked perfect. When going fishing I just unhooked lines from the boat and laid them on the dock, come back and hook to same cleats. Once lines were set and tied, I didn't have to adjust. Worked perfect. Thanks for the informative video!
@@gabbyvg.9067 - We live near Wilmington, it is 900 miles to Marathon. Google maps says about 13 hr drive time. Trip down we spent the night in Ft. Pierce Fl then drove the remaining few hours the following morning. Trip home was one day, with fuel and rest stops it took exactly 16 hours to get home on return trip. Not bad, and had such a good time that we are already figuring out that we want to make it a annual trip. But will make the future trips 10-14 days instead of 7 days, make it worth the 1800 mile trip!
This is a killer video! I was working this info into a video but this is too perfect! Great job! I've seen this video before but never clicked it until today, nice work! I wish I would have known about the canvas factory, I just put canvas on our project boat and that video will be live on Tuesday, could have been a good opportunity there, :( we'll keep you guys in mind though, we might be doing some cushions in later videos. Great work again this was a phenomenally well done informational video!
Great video. Your dad is a natural. He really drove the message home. Learned more in this short video than I did in an hour at a boating course at the marina. Keep it up!
From a freshwater guy who is accustomed to floating docks, this video is very helpful. I'll watch it again before I go to the Keys this summer. Thank-you.
Good to know. Appreciate the “why” we should do it as explained. Brooke, just a small observation. It would be more “nautical” if you referred to the ropes as lines. Good work by you and your dad.
Thank you 🙏 very much me and husband are learning how to tie our boat your explanation are so nice and clear please do more videos like this about boating how to maintain your boat thank you both lots of blessings
First day of me in work like receptionist of the private ships so I did open this video that very clear about things that should to do it during tie a boat and set the behave.
About 80% correct. Making people aware of the spring line is good. Never drop a line across your motor. Need to work on proper cleat tie off. But over all good for novices.
I just watched a video on boat driving tips then this came up, I've been running boats for over 20 years and grateful that I don't know it all, Lol! Thanks for the great tips!
I've always been terrible with tying knots. I'm going to be the boss now when I get my boat. This was like ninja school black magic. You guys are awesome.
Very informative and enjoyable video. I was in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary Crew Training, and have passed my tests for the 6-Pack and Masters Captain's License. You use the term ropes in the video. For boating, they are properly called lines. A rope is a line without a purpose. Just saying, in a friendly way. I enjoy a lot of your and Victor's videos.
Couldnt agree more with the long tight lines, too many people leave lots of slack, or tie shortys. In NC now but Hopefully moving to Pompano soon to work for a boat running Hillsboro and there is definitely some good takeaways from this video! maybe the next video could be tying a boat in the slip with docks and cleats on either side. great job always enjoy you and Vics videos keep em coming
Thanks, I was born and raised in Pompano Beach. Garden Isles Estates. 600 SE 6th terrace. My dad built the home in 1967... Those days it was a sleepy town with no crime.... Today I live on a huge lake in Sevierville TN...
I watched your video twice......luuuved it! Brian & Brokk, Father Daughter, AWESOME! You two made such an amazing and useful video! I'd like to see more of both of you!
They will teach the basics in Power Squadron/ CC boating courses but hands on is really the only way to learn. That and for docking it’s called a rub rail for a good reason. Thanks Brooke and “Dad!”
My wife says no one notices the Ipe wood I put out around the dock over treated pine, so I'm going to say I noticed yours (looks like my sunbleached Ipe at least), nice job there and on the video!
Very impressed by Brooks boat handling abilities. Thank you for making this video and explaining spring lines. In extreme tidal areas, you would want to put your spring lines further out, that is, on the stern cleat and bow cleat, and then run your spring line the length of the boat to dock cleat. I’m sorry, but, your cleating hitch is incorrect.I highly recommend Chapman Piloting and Seamanship book.It is a most excellent reference for all small boat operations. It is well worth the investment. Capt. Fred
The haters are usually the ones who dont know jack s**t ,but think they know it all.Great video I never knew the reason for the long lines . But I am on a lake with no tides.
Good video with good information details only 1 type of docking situation up north we have a lot of different configurations of floating docks and docks where your between 2 poles bowed up or sterned up to floating dock and so forth different types of finger docks, navy docks, one constant in a lot of docking is the long lines or spring lines to go up and down with tides 👍
New boat owner here. Happy to see how to do this properly.
Best instruction video ever. The to do tips were great.
I'm a noob. And this was easy to understand, and really, really important!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Good stuff Brian... such a nice gentleman... calm and collected. Brooke is lucky to have such a man as a father.

Too many new boaters today. Nobody born with the knowledge. These kind of tips helps a lot. Thank you for sharing those tips!!!!

I work at a Marina and help boats dock all the time.....I learned something from this video. Thanks!
I just came to see how many people had to bring up “ its a line, not a rope”. She probably knows how to tie off a boat better then 3/4 of the people who criticized her! Great video!
Who knew a little informative video for beginners would bring up so many haters! Thanks for the support Rich
This was a good video. First time I’ve ever seen “going around the cleat twice before hitching it off.
This information is right on the mark. I have been boating in Florida for over 50 years.
I learned these principles early and have never has any dock problems.
Great education! You both keep it simple for a DUMMY like me.❄️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️🌊🌊🌊💨☂️
New Boater here.....your dad really knows his stuff. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Brook, Great info coming from your Dad, I'm a former Coast Guard and he hit it right out of the park. Captain Keith Tight lines

That’s awesome! Glad it worked out for you! Hope you had a great trip!
Awesome video! I have been boating for a long time and did not know how to tie up correctly. Thanks for a great video!
How long is that trip? NC to the keys?

I'm a new boater and found this very informative Brook. Thanks to your and your Dad for the great tips. Happy Boating!!
Great Instruction! I have been a lake boater for 25 years, switching to the ocean is totally different. Thanks for the instruction!
After 16 years - it’s great to finally know this!
That was the best demonstration of tying up a boat that I've ever seen. Great job!!
This is a phenomenal video. Im sending this to every new and current boater I know !! Truly a gem
I finally learned how to tie a boat at a sea dock without having to leave a "guard" to watch the lines. Thank you Brook Crist.
Great video. Thank You! Hello from Brazil!
Great instructional video and a good dad daughter team! thank you.
Best dock tie demo on RUclips!
This takes you to the "advanced" level.....! Nice and clear instructions !!
Hmmmm I need to train more how dock my boat when I see how smooth this Captain Brooke did it!!!!!!!!! Im impressed and envy :D
Good to know. Appreciate the “why” we should do it as explained.
Brooke, just a small observation. It would be more “nautical” if you referred to the ropes as lines.
Good work by you and your dad.
Wonderful video Brook!
Brook representing 4Ocean with the bracelet! Cheers to supporting!
I do like this kind of video; I didn't know this and I've been docking boats for years. I don't think I've ever seen any one do this. LIKED
Great video! Explanation is awesome!
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 very much me and husband are learning how to tie our boat your explanation are so nice and clear please do more videos like this about boating how to maintain your boat thank you both lots of blessings
WENDY C. AGUILAR Love your Utube name ,it would make a nice boat name 👍
Good lesson-thanks
I haven't even got a boat and I found this fascinating! What nice people.
Brand new boat owner and these tips are invaluable and so well presented to teach (I'm a teacher!). Thank you!!

I'm a new boater and this is much need info
Thanks guys, important stuff to know! Never could figure out knots. I enjoy your videos!
Thank you. Very helpful

Thanks for sharing this video. It is practical, simple, and important to ensure effective docking. Nice job!
excelent video
Very informational
Absolutely best 👌
I've always been terrible with tying knots. I'm going to be the boss now when I get my boat. This was like ninja school black magic. You guys are awesome.
Good explanation on boat tie up. Many people should adopt this method. We did many, many years ago.
That was very helpful! Thank you!!!!
Well executed video. I am a newbie boater and they explained how and why to tie a boat to a dock.
Great Job!!
The majority boat owners have no clue How to properly tie up..
**Remember..Only rope on a boat is the bell ringer, the others are Lines..
About the bell's rope . . . It's the same in France .
Best video on tying up a boat I have ever seen. Well done!
thats great., just got my first boat wohohohohohh

Thank you for the correction
Agree with everything except for your cleat knot. Great vid
Thanks so much
I boat on the California Delta... We have tides from San Francisco bay. See this all the time!!!
Thank you for the information. New boaters really appreciate the help.
Love this one Brooke, it’s so nice to see more from your Dad! He always seems to hide from the Cam in respect to his princess (you)
Happy thanksgiving Brian, Brooke, and all the fellow land sharks 🦈🦈🦈
He’s always in the zone when we’re fishing haha.. but he’s very passionate about tieing boats correctly as you could tell ! Happy thanksgiving!
Brooke how about a turkey fish catch & cook LOL
Great info . I been boating my whole life and ive leaned a few new things here , thank u
Great video, lovely family. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Greetings from Costa Rica !!! Pura vida !!!
Thank you. I just bought a boat, although used it is in great shape and docking feels intimidating and this was helpful.
Great video and great instructors. Thanks for taking the time.
Not a boater. Never going to be a boater. Loved this video!

Best video ive ever seen about docking and lines!
Great video! Very helpful and thank you.
Thanks for the video. I am docked at exactly the same situation as you showed. I will give it a try.
I really enjoyed the instructional video. More, please.
Thank you!
Great knowledge video when I get my boat I can tie it up perfect thanks from Jacksonville Florida my grandson says great video
Great video. Glad you Dad is involved and filming with you a lot now. Excellent tips also.
Very helpful! Thank you very much.
Impressive and I will definitely pass this on to my other boating friends. Thank 🔆you
Thanks Brooke and Brian! I feel much better about helping my buddy dock his boat and will look less like the greenhorn I am.
Thanks for the info . I don’t own a boat but I can tie one up
Lol
I watched your video twice......luuuved it! Brian & Brokk, Father Daughter, AWESOME! You two made such an amazing and useful video! I'd like to see more of both of you!
What an awesome video!! I have a few tweaks to my docking now... This applies nicely to non-tidal fresh water also.
Outstanding video!!!
They will teach the basics in Power Squadron/ CC boating courses but hands on is really the only way to learn. That and for docking it’s called a rub rail for a good reason. Thanks Brooke and “Dad!”
Terrific whys and hows, great confidence builder!
Great tutorial! Thx Brook and Pops.
Great video, clear, concise, explained the principles so well. Wish I saw it before I scratched my boat so many times in the past.
Very calm, clear and well explained instruction. 👍
Awesome video! I'm a newer boater, tying loose lines. What a mess on my dock. Not anymore! Thank you.
My wife says no one notices the Ipe wood I put out around the dock over treated pine, so I'm going to say I noticed yours (looks like my sunbleached Ipe at least), nice job there and on the video!
