Enter the world of stress free docking

Years of dedicated research and development ensure that the Dockmate remote control system provides boaters with the best control of their vessels in some of the more stressful
situations like docking and close quarters manoeuvring.

Whether preparing to enter a marina or waiting for a bridge or lock, holding your position while stepping away from the helm can be just as important as having complete control when
docking.

Three smart positioning modes, one powerful system. Giving you the freedom to stay exactly where you need to be.

OCEAN MODE:

Embrace freedom as DPS maintains your yacht’s position using only the engines—perfect for the solo captain managing mooring lines or preparing for harbor entry.

PRECISION MODE:

Witness DPS in harmony with engines and thrusters, delivering position- and heading-holding power in close quarters, ensuring peace of mind when it matters most.

DRIFT LOCK:

DriftLock keeps your heading rock-steady while your vessel drifts naturally with wind and current. You stay perfectly positioned on the fish, without the constant fight to hold course.

DriftLock gives you the freedom to focus entirely on fishing while the system does the work. The system continuously monitors your heading and reacts as soon as it deviates more than 5° from your set direction. Works both with twin engines and single engine vessels.
