Docking without yelling, you will have a long, successful, and happy relationship. I saw a tip today I never seen and I have been doing it for 40 year. They left fender in place at the dock and he sprayed them with water before he came in to make them slickery. That was misspelled on purpose. Boating rocks
True story, but the whole story is that I didn’t even know the GoPro was still on. I had started recording earlier Well making some sharp turns. On the way in I asked Amber if she wanted to dock the boat and you saw the results when I went to edit my footage I scrapped the footage of me making the turns and publish this instead. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great instructor. No yelling or over-saturating the trainee with commands. Just clear instructions, constructive criticism, and positive reinforcement. That smile on her face at 4:36 when he says "Excellent, nicely done" just shows her gaining confidence in her own abilities. Great job by trainee in being a good listener as well.
Getting my captain's license soon. I do well docking but I still hope the boat my brother and his wife buy will have this technology. My fiancé and I will be running their charter business for them in the Caribbean. Thanks for the video :)
While the system makes doing that so much easier, it is still impressive because of the moderate steady wind also blowing in from the starboard side.. and she was able to keep the boat on line while maneuvering...
@@kingg213 It depends on the boat. these work well on smaller boats between the 25'-40' range without a flybridge. Taller boats with a flybridge ect. usually usually catch the wind more and still require a bow thruster even down to 30' lengths to assist the pod drives especially when docking in windy conditions.
I think "dinamic pozitioning" means "Sky hook", this system maintains the position using GPS just like a drone, and ya bow truster is also under control.
Whenever this video pops up on my screen I always show my wife. I always tell her that woman is driving their boat. She told me and last I dropped dead on our boat she will never handle the boat again. On our smaller boat we were back in huge Creek. You could have a thousand votes back there and still be able to water ski. The reason I mention that is to tell what she did. that's one particular day when it was just our family my wife and I are two sons she asked could she take control of the boat. I had no problem with that she is about the only person I let drive me. She even pulls our RV with our trailer behind it. I explained to her as we were heading down the creek to use the compass and stay on the heading. I explained to her to watch how much water we have under the boat and explain to her that a alarm will sound before it's too late. I don't think I was away from her no more than 5 minutes. All of a sudden our boat came to a complete stop. I looked at where we were and realize that she ran us up onto the sandbar. Even though she only damaged each prop but both of them were fixed very easy as we got back into our Marina. Ever since that day she refuses to try again. So every time this video pops up I will put it on the big screen and most of the time she gets up and stormed out of the room yelling why don't you marry her then. I'm very happy to see when women step up and do things that they're not comfortable with. A lot of times when we stop somewhere and she puts our motorhome and trailer some people come up and tell me I did a good job that was a tight spot. And I tell them my wife did that. Most of the time I don't even drive it any longer. I just wish I could get her to take the helm again. I really do enjoy this video not just for the fact that I can tease my wife.
@@teaobsessive6528 it's always the captain who docks the superyachts. You can have first and second officers on watch, on duty, steering between destinations, but only the captain of those beasts docks. It's not a theoretical top job, it's the top job.
@@darthkek1953?? I am aware it's the top job... I am in the industry. and have been for almost 6 years lol. That's what I meant about 100% responsibility no?
@@teaobsessive6528 there are plenty of industries where the top job delegates to a second. is a battleship captain the one who physically docks? or is he the one who instructs a helmsman? what interested me was even in the biggest private yachts he's not just responsible he's the one doing the physical labour of manoeuvring too.
With that technology there would be something wrong if she didn't make it look easy. Its amazing what technology can do for you these days. Just unfortunately it still doesn't teach people the rules of the road etc.
She did a great job. I do wonder about these joystick systems. I feel like we are going to see a lot of boat crashing at the marina in 10 years time when the hardware fails for the first time.
This still plays like a charm in 2021. She has the touch and what a great boat too! If you watch boating fails on UA-cam it's so frustrating to see people with no patience trying to horse it in. Thanks again.
I think all of you old school boaters are missing the point here! The video is about joystick docking as stated in the title! It's about showing off the technology. The video isn't about showing off some old crusty fisherman's ability to dock in 30 knot cross winds, you came to the wrong video for that. Outside of that, try putting your ego in check and watch the video for what it is, we realize your a self proclaimed bad azz boater, got it, good for you, now watch the technology at work!
I had a joystick on my last boat, with sterndrives not IPS, and on my new boat I've got a bow and stern thruster. For me, the thrusters are far superior, much more precise.
lightspeed72 I hear you. I’m responsible for this amazing 1.3 mil boat with a $40,000 paint job. Cutting someone loose who has only controlled a yacht 2 times prior had me a little wound up. She did very well. I took it on to instruct her but it’s not my job or talent by any means. Just helping a talented co worker by showing her the ropes. I wish someone would have done the same for me when I started out....good, bad or anxious lol
Great job to her! She got some dirty Jiffy Feet though. For those of you that don't know that term, down here in the south we used to have convenience stores called Jiffys. You walk around barefoot in them you get black feet hence, Jiffy Feet. Lol.
LOL at the people saying the guy is talking too much. I'll wait here for you guys to post vid of a novice pulling your 750k boat into a slip while you quietly observe it wrecking into a piling. In other news the GPS position lock is awesome!
Many of us here have operated larger vessels, and most would say at least 70% of us would say having the confidence to step up and do it is most of it. PS: I know it's a video about the technology, but pressure makes diamonds.
Looks like a cake walk, as long as you have a skilled instructor on board. Can you imagine the shape of the boat if she had tried to dock it on her own? In all likelihood, it would not have been pretty.
Could there not be a better location for the cockpit controls? They seem to be in an awkward, hard-to-reach location. I don't ask this as a criticism, only asking to learn.... I am on my 5th large single-engine boat; have always docked them easily; no twin-screws and no bow/stern thrusters. As the saying goes, if you never had sugar in your coffee, you wouldn't know to miss it... with that said, that is a wonderful boat, with all the sugar, mind-blowing technology; and absolutely wonderful system for boat control. I can think of all kinds of uses for the 'dynamic positioning'; I hope to have such a system, in my next life.
Andrew F Yakim I agree with you. It would be nice if it’s was easier to get at. The trouble is that it needs to be somewhat protected from the weather and wash down crew. This is done by placing it inside the box you see in the buttress. With that being said you can install up to 4 joysticks on the boat via your local Volvo dealer so you could put one anyway you’d like. Thanks for watching!
Good Job! That small seat in the aft cockpit needs to go though, either that or to stick in a different spot. Id much rather stand then having to work around that seat awkwardly.
Everyone hating on joystick technology must also hate chart plotters, radar, FLIR, thrusters, marine air conditioning, engines, gps, and anything with modern technology. Sailing is the only way to not cheat.
+Oliver Gruzman I bet this technology was tested thoroughly and made extremely fail-proof. Also, digital technology being used in crucial parts is nothing new. Engines are computer-controlled for a few years now and they are doing fine.
Verrückter Wissenschaftler you stupid? They fail almost all the time! I have seen anyone who hasn’t had theirs fail that had one for over 2 years. They fail so much which is why you shouldn’t rely on them which is why I hate on joysticks. They should only be used as a last resort type of tech but sadly they are not. They do help, but if you are required to use it in this situation, you probably shouldn’t be owning a boat this size.
Only to the people saying the instructor is speaking too much, if she damages the boat, are you paying the repair bill...? I might be a little chatty too while teaching a novice how to run a million dollar boat...
I wouldn't say she docked it like a boss, but she did well enough considering she's relatively new at it. She's apparently smart enough to know to ease in (wind and current permitting) rather than power in like a hotshot idiot She's going to do just fine.
I am so confused at this point, I think I'm in love with the boat, or the girl, or maybe both, but I'm damn sure in love with something!!! Peace Out and Fish On
Not very difficult with that sort of set up, my kids could do it same size boat two engines on levers no bow thruster and you don't touch the helm then I would be impressed
I'm shocked away all the comments such as "with that technology, anyone can do that" and "I can do it with my eyes closed"..... alright, not that one, lol, but it seems it kills men that a woman can dock a boat so beautifully. Insecure? Obviously. I bought our first boat several years ago. I've been boating my entire life, my husband didn't know the first thing about boats. While shopping for a motor, I couldn't believe how my intelligence was insulted. Luckily, someone I had known when he was a kid (our families used to spend summers together on the water) now ran a marine business. I was able to choose my motor and purchase it from him knowing that I wasn't being taken advantage of. Get a grip, gentlemen, there's a chance a woman actually may know more than you.
Male or Female has nothing to do with it. Tapping a joystick will NEVER allow the operator to learn how to really dock a boat. I'm sure that boat has twin screws/engines, so there is no reason why she shouldn't be learning how to do it by using the sticks. If that is the only way she knows how to dock, then what will she do if the system fails or she is on another boat and that boat doesn't have that technology. Once you learn how to do it "the standard way" w/ out that system its shocking how easy it can be done. As someone else has mention you can literally dock just about any twin engine boat blindfolded.
@@pv4548 I agree. Anyone that wants to seriously learn about boating has to learn the traditional way. My father has 36' Grand Banks and he backs her into her slip with perfection using her engines, doesn't touch the wheel. I've learned from him and I continue to learn from him.
Why was I almost biting my fingernails while she as docking? Excellent instructor cool and calm adding confidence to his student. Also, young people aren't afraid to give things a try. I wouldn't by another boat w/o Skyhook docking. Make's things so much easier. Thanks for posting!
That’s exactly what i was thinking about! Everyone thinks they’re Captains already by driving and docking a small boat with joystick/ dynamic controls!🤦🏻
Where's all the yelling and screaming and throwing dock lines in the water and life or death leaps on to the dock? Ahh, the good old days of just a pair of port/starboard controls on a 30 kt cross wind day in SF bay marinas
Nice job by the crew. Tiaras are beautiful, super well built boats. Nothing wrong with using all technology available - heck I even use the internet sometimes. Last year I installed some new batteries and forgot to hook up a cable that went to the bow thruster. Man, that was a rude awakening when it didn't do anything. Luckily was docking at an "easy" marina - just made a go around and came in. IF it were at my normal dock, it would have freaked me out - I always have a combination of ocean tide, river current and wind either sweeping up/down the river or coming across the mile wide river. I would definitely use my boat more often if I had this system - I think I'd even get my wife to do the docking while I do the line handling. Hopefully after we're done paying for college in a couple of years we'll upgrade. It looked a little awkward leaning over the side of the boat and could have gotten beaned by a piling. Can you get a wireless remote for this system?
Hmmm - assuming twin engines, bow thruster...and maybe a stern thruster...? I get impressed if it had no thrusters. Really impressed with single prop...
@@1stzard I guess it depends on the year and size you are looking for. I've seen really nice 2008 44 Sundancers for $200k that also have Bow and Stern Thrusters.
Part of me feels this almost looks more complicated than just knowing your boat and how to use twins. The person who only learns this then gets on a boat built years before this was thought of would be in trouble.
He was only talking because she was asking questions and where the boat is so large she cant see both sides so he was just helping by looking out for her, he was only doing his job : ) she did really well especially if it's only her 3rd time with such a big boat.
No skill required, just use technology to take away all the thinking, planning for you. Press the dynamic positioning button to hold the boat wherever it is to solve any problem Does not work that way in the real world of seamanship. If the electronics fail, these people will have absolutely no clue how to manoeuvre a boat
*the rest of us training our kids on 30yo boats* "So look. There's 4 janky levers, a steering wheel, and don't worry about the gauges they don't work."
Student driver, the worst, I park my little smart car boat alot faster than her, and I didn't even have student driver decals on my smart boat, I think in some other backward country, They call it a Dingy.
Ain't nothing but a thing, actually pretty easy in a bigger boat imo. When you have twins its a piece of cake, obviously nowhere near as easy as this shit but twins eliminates the need for bow thrusters imo
Totally not skilled , not a boss. Anybody can dock with a joystick. These systems take the skill out of boat handling. See what happens when the system crashes, and you have to resort to normal controls (rudder an and sticks). By the way I run a crewboat for a living.
Get sick of people being amazed when woman do anything well. They are fully capable of handling jobs that require most skills, the 39/45 war proved that in most countries. Stop kidding yourself guys, your not superior.
@@highrevs6110 it's not about women doing something a man can do. Wow you went to the deep end. Plenty of women can maneuver a boat properly. I doubt this girl can. My wife could out maneuver her any day of the week. So could my aunt who runs a single engine inboard charter boat. Stop trying to man bash!! Idiot.
good tutor, cool, calm, clear instruction. no rush, no panic. instills confidence every time

Great Job! Its not only the skill level to be learned but also overcoming the stress of damaging the Yacht as you learn!
Seems like she just needed one instruction - “go ahead and dock the boat”. As you said - badass 😊👌

Like a boss! Nice coach, low key, clear unhurried instructions.
awesome control features and great instructor
Damn, she deserves a huge reward... I'd immediately take her down below and when we came back up, she'd be having a baby in 9 months............
As a woman with a 48 footer I love my Joy Stick and a good stern thruster🤷🏼♀️🇺🇸
You have a 48 footer? I don't know how to respond to that.
Good instructor. I really like how calmly he speaks. Overall an enjoyable video. Thanks for posting.
You need to say something useful, this instructor was over-verbalising. Fortunately the system is very well engineered and the trainee understood it.
@@bmpowellicio shut up
Michael Powell I like your point the systems are very simple on those boats

Great job.
"Dynamic Positioning", as you leisurely climb down to the remote controls! How cool is that??
Does this eliminate the need for a bow thruster, or is a bow thruster incorporated into the Dynamic Positioning?
@@kingg213 It depends on the boat. these work well on smaller boats between the 25'-40' range without a flybridge.

Carter West Hahahaha! We always romanticize the past!
Well.... The IPS docked like a boss. The chick was along for the ride. (Along for the ride, AND was told what to do every 2-3 seconds.)
what an ignorant ass you are
Shut up dumbed not j
That was one hell of a teacher!! The guys instructions were spot on!
Agreed and the way he calmly instructed
Thanks Guys
She can captain my yacht anytime. Good girl! Thanks for sharing.
Nice job by the crew. Tiaras are beautiful, super well built boats.
Nothing wrong with using all technology available - heck I even use the internet sometimes.
Last year I installed some new batteries and forgot to hook up a cable that went to the bow thruster. Man, that was a rude awakening when it didn't do anything. Luckily was docking at an "easy" marina - just made a go around and came in. IF it were at my normal dock, it would have freaked me out - I always have a combination of ocean tide, river current and wind either sweeping up/down the river or coming across the mile wide river. I would definitely use my boat more often if I had this system - I think I'd even get my wife to do the docking while I do the line handling. Hopefully after we're done paying for college in a couple of years we'll upgrade.
It looked a little awkward leaning over the side of the boat and could have gotten beaned by a piling. Can you get a wireless remote for this system?
you certainly have a lot more room in the back then you do in the front! 1:22
I wonder if any of his other Sugar Babies smacked the boat? I think this one is a keeper.
Hmmm - assuming twin engines, bow thruster...and maybe a stern thruster...?
I get impressed if it had no thrusters. Really impressed with single prop...
It says IPS. Thats it.
Norhimg impresive
Thinking about getting a boat and this video was very helpful. Thanks for doing this!
not very for any boat under 500k
@@1stzard I guess it depends on the year and size you are looking for. I've seen really nice 2008 44 Sundancers for $200k that also have Bow and Stern Thrusters.
Part of me feels this almost looks more complicated than just knowing your boat and how to use twins. The person who only learns this then gets on a boat built years before this was thought of would be in trouble.
She has a lot more room in the back than she does in the front.
Right!
I noticed that too!
Troublesome. With my 2 500 hp engines I need only the shipslength. Backwards is even easier.
Ben, you stayed so cool and calm. You're an awesome teacher. 👍🏻
Thanks Stefan
Jesus! Shut up and let her drive. Stop being a back seat driver.
He was only talking because she was asking questions and where the boat is so large she cant see both sides so he was just helping by looking out for her, he was only doing his job : ) she did really well especially if it's only her 3rd time with such a big boat.
Nice 🇳🇴👍😎
fuckin nailed it !
No skill required, just use technology to take away all the thinking, planning for you. Press the dynamic positioning button to hold the boat wherever it is to solve any problem
Does not work that way in the real world of seamanship. If the electronics fail, these people will have absolutely no clue how to manoeuvre a boat
*the rest of us training our kids on 30yo boats* "So look. There's 4 janky levers, a steering wheel, and don't worry about the gauges they don't work."
Student driver, the worst, I park my little smart car boat alot faster than her, and I didn't even have student driver decals on my smart boat, I think in some other backward country, They call it a Dingy.
There isn’t any “docking like a boss” with a joystick.......smh........try backing a 420 Aft Cabin with no pods or bow/stern thrusters.......🤣🤣🤣
Ain't nothing but a thing, actually pretty easy in a bigger boat imo. When you have twins its a piece of cake, obviously nowhere near as easy as this shit but twins eliminates the need for bow thrusters imo
Sorry but that’s not seamanship..nor is it skill. Technology that Just protects other owners Boats from Bad piloting..
Get a Dockmate Who puts the controller in a Position like that......NO Thanks Bad placement of the controller
This isn’t that hard. He’s just instructing her so much that it makes it seem complicated. With a joystick, a 3rd grader could do it.
Totally not skilled , not a boss. Anybody can dock with a joystick. These systems take the skill out of boat handling. See what happens when the system crashes, and you have to resort to normal controls (rudder an and sticks). By the way I run a crewboat for a living.
Get sick of people being amazed when woman do anything well. They are fully capable of handling jobs that require most skills, the 39/45 war proved that in most countries. Stop kidding yourself guys, your not superior.
@@highrevs6110 it's not about women doing something a man can do. Wow you went to the deep end. Plenty of women can maneuver a boat properly. I doubt this girl can. My wife could out maneuver her any day of the week. So could my aunt who runs a single engine inboard charter boat. Stop trying to man bash!! Idiot.
Pilot is only as good as the instructor- She did a fantastic job for being her 3rd time. To bad there are not more Captains that are women.
great Captain and instructor! bad-ass joystick operation!
