New technique woman in the blue shirt reminds me of my senior canoeing instructor: "Try to keep your ankle dry, get your leg wet" - the amount of effort people put into trying to keep their foot dry is usually the reason they fall and get totally soaked, or hurt. He ALWAYS encouraged people to step into the water on a sure thing instead of heroics. She committed to dropping off the bow into shallow water, landing on her feet, and having very precise control of the boat from that point. Seeing where her feet are landing, and having such precise control - not sure how she could beat that.

My wife and I do the same thing when we're trailering. We don't power load and the wind/current pulling the boat away from the dock makes it easier to walk the boat onto the trailer. So in actuality, it IS a brilliant move!
Was a coxswain in navy on motor whale boat. If you take the bow line and secure to a dock bollard. Then apply power towards dock the stern kicks in to pier and you tie off. So easy. Yes you have to allow moderate slack in bow. I dock my boat single-handed in all kinds of weather.
@@fastwin493 I have brand new boat but not new to boating I can gently dock so no concern unless it’s very windy or lots of wake at the dock I don’t use fender it’s a waste of time for me but to each his own I see bunch of reason why u would put fenders on yours and it’s a good thing too
If you know what you're doing (I know, doesn't apply in Miami), you don't need fenders, because there is no need to tie to the dock unless you're solo.
That black GMC almost played a game of Whack-F**k! HAHAHA. Thanks for all of the entertaining videos. I should sit at some of the boat ramps around me and film. Nothing but clowns. HAHA. Pinellas County is full of them.
I used to bring my Hardy 20, with a 75HP outboard, alongside on my own. The secret is: 1. to have all your lines ready and running aft first, 2. Come alongside and tie up your stern line from within the boat, 3. Put the engine into fwd tick over and turn the wheel hard over towards the jetty. This tightens the stern line and gently brings the bow in to the jetty. 4. Grab bow line, switch off engine and step ashore looking cool and tie up. Similarly, if the bow line is tied up first, then turn the wheel hard over to the jetty and go astern on tick over. This brings the stern in nice and slow.
The number of boat captains that just leave the helm as the boat is floating away just blows my mind. I sit here screaming at my computer "DRIVE THE BOAT". So much could be solved with the use of the engines to, you know, control the boat.
I have a 19’ boat (in the movie Grownups) and also dock by myself. However, when I use my forward spring line, with a little slack, and put it on the cleat, I put it in forward gear, and turn away from the dock, bringing in the stern. These people drive boats like I see people drive cars. As long as that can aim it into a spot, they don’t care about anyone around them.
My dad taught me but also blocked out the rear view mirror and back window and told me to use the side mirrors. As crazy as it sounds it's easier because your body isn't turned around
Just think Opposite : in the TV at the wheel its 'Right to go left and Left to go right' Meaning turn the steering to the right.... back of trailer goes left ....Left turn back of trailer goes right . Go too far ? Just pull up straight and start again. Practice makes perfect !
Orrrrrr just have some common sense with driving and just know it’s opposite turns to do a trailer move. It’s really not rocket science and doesn’t need anyone to do a special trick with their hand placement 🤷🏼♂️
Our boat rules: The captain stays at the helm until docked (you know, actually controlling the boat). ONE passenger (or one front, one rear) are put in charge of dock lines. No one else moves or leaves the boat until the captain says it's ok.
additionally, NO jumping to the dock, step only. If you have to jump, make another approach. Also, nobody gets between the boat and dock ever. No human fenders.
Did anyone notice - the Sea-Doo also had the bow line snagged on the trailer so when the truck pulled out - the line was ripped out of the girls hand. Fun times at the boat ramp!!
I enjoy watching your boat ramp videos! I don't have a boat, never owned a boat, but my friends that do have boats tell me that one of the happiest days of your life is the day you get your boat and the second happiest day is the day you sell it! Keep up the good work!
Best to step off the boat while holding two lines, bow and stern. Quickly tie one to a dock cleat, move to the other and tie it. Cinch them in after they’ve been tied. Never just stand on the dock holding the lines.
Can't do stuff like that anymore. It will get you in trouble. Can't open doors for women, etc. It's the way the activist women want it. Now that they have it, I hope they like it.
It’s amazing how many people just show up at the lake with their boats and no clue how to handle them around the boat ramp…who knows what they do out on the water…🤪🤪🤪🤪
Miami Boats, I know you don't response to questions, but, that jet boat launch is a classic example of the need to use one continuous line tied bow to stern. The girl on the dock had no control of the stern and I couldn't believe she drop the bow line and then grabbed to centre handrail, very lucky boat didn't draft away. How can this single be better than a line tied to bow to stern, please explain.
Is there some sort of dock line shortage in Miami? I have more than enough lines on my boat to put one on every single cleat and still have some leftover. They're not all "proper" dock lines with an eye splice, but I just can understand why you'd put a boat in the water with only one line on it
I'm a Commercial Lobster and stone crab trapper. And with all my years of experiance, I can't wrap my head around, why people insist on fighting the wind???? Why do you dock againt the wind??? If you have to there is a way, but thats not it!!!!
So the seadoo guy and center cabin guy had an open ramp right next to them on the up current/upwind side and chose down wind and current to launch. Oooo K.
Are fenders and mooring line very expensive in the USA? Or is gelcoat cheap to repair? Pretty clueless seamanship displayed by most, it's beyond me that you'd spend 10000's on a boat set up and not spend $600 on a seamanship course
On that Sea-Doo, why not just tie your line to the mid clear. Would be so much easier to launch, control, and tie to dock without stern kicking out and doing a 360. Hope these people watch your videos and LEARN from theirs and others mistakes. Good job, keep the videos coming.
@@Renegade040 since I solo on my boat I have a line tied on the bow and on the stern. The bow is pretty long and tied to a tie in the bed of my truck. Back down the ramp and when I see the boat release, I slowly pull out of the ramp until dry, stop, parking brake, get out and get my line. I then walk around onto the dock. The stern line is tied at mid point of bow line so once on dock I can pull on both lines and secure to dock tie downs. Yes, two bumpers are deployed. It’s a piece of cake. I just don’t understand the struggles. I don’t drink so that helps.
Loke your vids. Do not understand why SO MANY boats never use a stern line. Only have a bow lone. Have great marketing idea. Sell boat lines with packaged labeled either for stern use or bow use.
Something happened with that last boat with the pink bikini. Nothing wrong with the docking but 2 or 3 people jumped off the boat before it was even tied off and marched up the dock like screw you we're not friends any more.
Can't believe then guys that were around the girl that went in didn't even offer helping her way up back on the dock what a shame where I come from you help they need to gentlemen not idiots watching her struggle
So many mistakes. Especially jet boat guy. Near smashes dock. Then parks it on incline. To get out and look at what he fkd up. Classic. And everyone seems to only have one stupid rope.
Why do boaters always head to the other side of the dock, so the wind n currents push em away from the dock? when they could be on the other side and let the wind n current help them dock and keep the boat close to the dock...smh....
That's exactly what my wife and I do! It's easier to hook the bow and use the drive to pull the stern into the dock. Did you ever try to push a boat away from the dock (against the tide/wind) to get it out onto a trailer? Since we don't power load, the wind/current pushing the boat AWAY from the dock makes it MUCH easier because we can control everything with dock lines. We've been boating/launching/loading for 40+ years so, we pretty much have it down to a science that works perfectly for us.
I waited this whole video just to not see any girls fall in and be angry about it! Clickbait title much? That first one where she jumped off into the water by her choice and was fine with it was boring come on
1st 1 not tossed! Next? Spring lines useless! 1 bow & 1 stern & he would’ve been done! Dude, come on, 8:52 & still no girls “Tossed”! Nope 8:32 starting Ur sign off! No 1 tossed. These people very inexperienced. You never tie off a line & walk away. Make a half loop so you can pull in/let out as needed til boat is positioned properly, then secure & walk. The more wind/current the more important it becomes. I never see people volunteering on docks to catch lines & help. Sad! Boats are an expensive hobby.
Its shocking to me how this many people do not have situational awareness... talk about out to lunch...
Not shocking if you’ve been around ramps much. The bass boats not so much, but the others … 🙄.

7:40, Nice, 4 guys on the boat, who has the line? The girl.
two long ropes double the length of the boat. tie them on both ends to control it better while docking. learn it jeez people!!!!!
Those lines don’t cost much. Not like trying to buy a 300 foot roll. Anyone of those “don’t have lines” heard of Amazon, Walmart, Dicks, Academy?

Use a midship line when launching, people! Keep your bow and stern lines on the cleats permanently and ready BEFORE you dock. This is maddening.
