When docking your boat attach lines fore and aft (before reaching the dock), approach slightly bow in (45 degree angle or less) and secure a line from the bow (front of the boat) to a dock cleat and put engine in reverse, keeping it at idle and turn the wheel towards the dock, it will pull the stern back into the dock, holding it there while you tie up the stern line to a dock cleat.
About 50 years ago I took a free yes free boating course from the Coast Guard Aux. We learned how to get the bow in put out a short line then use it as a spring. A little reverse and the motors would pull the stern right into dock. That's how deal with that wind and current.
@@thisisfun887 I know I don't... But I'm a professional physical therapist that goes boating for fun, not a professional boat operator that does physical therapy for fun so... Yea, not gonna pretend to be a great boat driver. Boating is one of those things where some have an odd ego about it.
If you look close you will see the grey boat bumped the bigger boat at 4:36. not hard but did contact it. I can see why the woman was mad since they didnt really care about having someone on the front to make sure they didnt hit. i personally blame the grey boat.
Are there any cleats on those docks? It appears all there is are the pilings. It sure would be nice to have a few heavy duty cleats on the dock between the pilings. That being said, years ago I practiced throwing a lasso, a very useful skill in boating. I could stand in the boat and drop a loop around one of those pilings from 10 or 15 feet away. A very handy little trick.
I’ve never been more convinced of the abundance of just plain awful people infesting Miami. There’s certainly some good people there…but there sure is a lot of absolute scumbags as well.
Miami is a shit hole at one time and ok place to visit, over the decades it’s become to crowded. Yep one of the reasons I sold my KeyWest is the boat ramp idiots.
It's amazing to watch all these boat owners that have no boat handling skills, really dangerous to be on the water with other peoples lives in their hands.
I think the same. I suppose this is why fishermen wake up so early. To avoid these people. It's really simple too. Approach at a 45 degree angle. When the bow touches the dock, tie off the 45 degree bow cleat to the dock. Steer away from the dock and reverse. The boat will pivot on the cleat, and the boat will suck up against the dock. This is the only way I can dock on a 6mph river. If I acted like these fools, I would be out many boats, and a few lives.
First off, if you see a boat struggling to dock give him space. Second, my wife would be on the step to help push boats away in stead of standing there yelling like a lazy b!#$%. Patience and courtesy are key....
We do it different in my country. Almost never tie up the boat at the dock. Drop off 1x crew at the dock, then wait away from the docks. The crew member puts the trailer in the water, and you go in and drive the boat on the trailer. It goes a lot quicker, less waiting time for everyone
You're doing it correctly. And it's how it's done at any busy ramp in the U.S. Except in FL and a few other places, where people insist on taking as long as humanly possible, regardless of how many others may be waiting. Completely ass backwards.
You are correct. Unless you are alone or without a 2nd to get on the helm you drop 1 off and get away from the dock till time to load. This is how we do it in Tennessee
I guess I'll never understand. I hit the water to have a good time. I certainly don't try to manufacture a reason to be mad and make others have a bad time.
It is ridiculous how these boaters crowd those at the dock making launch or retrieval so much more difficult stay back until the dock is clear and there won't be so much chaos there like a bunch of impatient vultures.
Always follow the rule of drop off at dock then back up to staging area and wait. Then once your trailer is in the water pull your boat right up and on the trailer. Connect your strap and safety chain and pull out. Then you only occupy the dock for as long as necessary. But that’s not how it works over there in Florida.
4:12. Captain manages to snatch Failure from the jaws of Success. All he needed to do was keep astern for another one or two seconds. His helper then ties off his line on a cleat or bollard. Captain then goes slow ahead on Sbd engine. The boat will pull into the dock and sit there all day as long as the motor is slow ahead. It's almost as easy as falling off a log. I dunno what makes these Captains so obsessed with lines from the bow. They aren't much use on their own.
My father could parallel park a Tartan 37 sailboat in a 39 ft opening without touching fiberglass on the boat in front or behind him. Current wind none of it affected him. I did not inherit his docking skills LOL
At 2:30, all he would have to do is start the engine , turn the wheel full to the right and shift into reverse. It would pull the stern right toward the dock.
These are the same people who can't negotiate a Wal-Mart parking lot because they won't turn their wheels enough so they end up doing a 3 and 4 point turn to get their Ford Focus out of their parking space.
That is so good a maritime assistance by those jet skiers. How many times we witness no one take action when obvious help is needed. Why did the skipper of this boat leave the helm and risk the safety of everyone else is only known to him?
Unloading and loading your boat can be very easy... to unload remove all straps and the front cable, (THIS IS NOT FOR ROLLER TRAILERS) tie a (dock) line (10' to 15' in length) to the side cleat on the dock side and have your partner walk beside you and onto the dock while you back the boat into the water. Only back far enough to start floating the boat, then hit your brakes and the boat should float free. Have your partner tie off the boat to the dock. Add more dock lines as needed. **VERY IMPORTANT** IF YOU HAVE A ROLLER TRAILER (ROLLERS ON YOUR TRAILER) KEEP THE FRONT CABLE ATTACHED OR YOUR BOAT MAY ROLL OFF THE TRAILER WHILE YOU ARE BACKING DOWN THE RAMP! Loading your boat, back your trailer into the water leaving the boat trailer fenders out off the water, most folks back too far into the water, (if your fenders are under water you are too far) causing all kinds of problems. Simply drive your boat onto the trailer, it will usually self correct when it slides up the bunks, if you are slightly off center. You may have to goose it slightly to get it all the way on the trailer. Have your partner connect the cable to the front and winch it tight, now pull the boat and trailer out of the water.
I find it odd that at an ocean ramp where the licensing must be pretty stringent these guys have no idea how to use reverse to pull the stern in. The yahoos on jet skis would drive me nuts.
What license are you talking about? There is no license for a private boat. What state do you live in where they make you get a license for a private boat?
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 a few do. I’m from Oregon and it’s mandatory for anything over 10 horsepower. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen something as crazy as these videos at the ramp
You are providing them with the excuse of wind and current but the problem is a total lack of boat handling skills. It just blows my mind how these captains try to drive their boats.
@@thisisfun887 yup not easy, but it factors in to how you handle the boat. Clearly miami boat channels certainly shows those that have no idea how to in even zero wind & current situations
You almost have to be a Karen at the ramp due to the incompetence & self entitlement of others to protect your own boat. But that 30’ Sea Ray, i hope they weren’t trailering that out as the beam would’ve been oversized legally for trailering, but it would’ve been exciting to see something trying to pull that out.
I trailer a 30 ft every Saturday in summer and it's funny how everyone is sitting there drinking beer and watching my wife and I with our handicap son do it ourselves.... slow patients and be willing to wait as to not get rushed and we get it done every time without incident..... the marina owner in the middle of the first year of us using that spot cause they were getting too busy at the other one said everyone there was amazed at how efficient we were doing it.... Dunno years of watching and helping as a kid I guess. Some people learn from mistakes and some just keep repeating em
The twerking girls grossed me out but the one on the rear made me dry heave, the kind of dry heave when you can't shut your mouth and a single strand of slobber sways from your bottom lip. (tmi?)

That was crazy dangerous with that kid! If he bump that into gear or slammed it forward someone could get killed. The kid was raising and lowering it and the captain put it in gear so for sure it was running

Karen's boat wasn't parallel to their dock at the time either. She should have been helping hubby with docklines.
And they shouldn't have even entered the dock while he was struggling. They should've waited a few minutes.
Why did Karen’s boat go ahead and pull in when it was obvious the other boat was having troubles and drifting that way? Should’ve waited or helped.
This dock is something special to sit back and watch from fights to boat accidents..lol 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️😂😂
Kudos to the party boat cap't for that approach! Great job. 😁👍🌿
Well, he did pulse the bow thruster a couple of times.. sure makes it easier
