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.

Great instructor ,and only her 3rd time . Amazing

Good instructor. I really like how calmly he speaks. Overall an enjoyable video. Thanks for posting.

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

This still plays like a charm in 2021. She has the touch and what a great boat too! If you watch boating fails on KZfaq it's so frustrating to see people with no patience trying to horse it in. Thanks again.

Yes like a Boss and what a great instructor! NICE!

Nothing like a gentle touch! Bravo!

good tutor, cool, calm, clear instruction. no rush, no panic. instills confidence every time

She can captain my yacht anytime. Good girl! Thanks for sharing.

Not only can she competently and calmly dock a very expensive boat, but... she's stunningly beautiful!

Technology makes it look easier than I imagine at that size. She did a good job. 👍

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!

Lovely! I had a Vetus bow thruster fitted to my Westerly Corsair 36ft Sail boat, as previously our Contest 40 S had one and it is simply AWESOME

great Captain and instructor! bad-ass joystick operation!

Charm and talent, that's the golden key in Life... Excellent job!... From Brussels, with Love...

Great Job! Its not only the skill level to be learned but also overcoming the stress of damaging the Yacht as you learn!

Top that LT Sulu ! 😁 She didn't loose her nerve and paid attention. The boat is as fine as the helmsmam.👍👍 Ok, I'll take her. 😁

The way you instruct helped her a lot and she kept calm all over the way, really awesome job and nice lady doing a fantastic job, loved watching this.

Sweet! And GREAT instruction.

Seems like she just needed one instruction - “go ahead and dock the boat”. As you said - badass 😊👌

Used to drive a Hinckley tender years back. Single jet engine with a little bow thruster. I find Jet propulsion make docking look like a walk in the park. But it had a Joystick system (can’t remember the make) similar to this video that made driving a whole lot easier. Everything connected to one joy stick. That was impressive a design.

Awesome job. She did great. Looking like a pro!

That is a fancy as system. DP and all. Pleasure crafts sure have come along way.

Like a boss! Nice coach, low key, clear unhurried instructions.

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...

Awesome ...and the guys calming voice was a positive too

awesome control features and great instructor

good easy system, she showed good relaxed operating for her third time. always stay relaxed and aware good job here.

Love it! Would definitely get that on my next boat.

Well done lovely 👏👏👏👏 Great instructor also 👌 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You have the touch, Great Job

Ben, you stayed so cool and calm. You're an awesome teacher. 👍🏻

So cool! Nice job ! Debating getting a boat for some good family times they are with the headaches that come with them !

As soon as she stood up you said, "You have a lot more room at the back than you do at the front". Haha

That was one hell of a teacher!! The guys instructions were spot on!

Amazing boat, The lady still did a good job.

There is nothing like a couple of thrusters to make docking a lot easier. Nice Job!

Great job girl...and great instructor...love it

First Time I have seen This, She ROCKS!

Good work . It's about the tech. Using the stick. If winds and water had been stronger you use a different approach. But for what he was teaching her she did great.

sehr gut geparkt! Bravo!!

WONDERFUL SYSTEM!!

She was awesome! Well done !! Like a boss !!!

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?

awesome she made it look so easy

She did a great job😊

Awesome. Nice Kekoa hat.

Very good listener ..well done !!

Thinking about getting a boat and this video was very helpful. Thanks for doing this!

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 :)

That was like a boss! You go girl !!

my take away is this, new captain had the touch and wear with all to focus on the manuver and nailed it piloting a new boat, she nailed it. Shouts out to instructor for calm, specific guidance, apparently they have practiced together prior but clearly he was composed and secure with her piloting the boat and she did not disappoint. Whether manuvering a boat with newer tech' controls or hard cables and no power steering slipping a boat ass-first takes control and knowledge of the boat your piloting. bravo for the success.

Good Work Amber!!!

Respect - well done.

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.

Like the Kekoa hat! St. John Usvi represent !

Pretty cool, and what a sales strategy. Encouraging potential buyers not to worry if u have little or no experience piloting a yacht. Lol. Start out with this nice 44!...Then they learn the hard way.

I think she killed it. Very nicely done...

Great tuition ⛵️👍

Awesome docking..

Well done!

Awesome job there

She did great.

As a woman with a 48 footer I love my Joy Stick and a good stern thruster🤷🏼‍♀️🇺🇸

thats some kool stuff right there

She looks comfortable with a joystick

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.

There ain’t nothing like a beautiful girl and a beautiful boat, 👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍 Great job....

Great job.

She listened to you tell her how to dock like a boss like a boss!

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.

I want a boat like that, with controls everywhere for everything. Damn.

Nailed it ! ! ! Awesome Sauce !

Good Job!

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!

BADASS!!!

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............

Awesome tutorial Ben !

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.

Great instructor.... great job docking, I would have been shitting my pants!

amazing

Bravo mademoiselle 👍

Well Done!

I think the best advice is to just take it slow and be patient

She's a natural

cool as a cucumber - great job!

Class!

nice work!

Great job young lady... always keep an eye out on the moving Flags when you enter a marina.. just a little pointer

Good job

Very cool

That’s sick

You rock girl

Amazing Technology. Still, just thinking about how costly a mistake could be I would be scare shitless.

top job !!

Good going

Badass!

Awesome

4:25 'Bad-ass' he says. Perfect!

Awesome and beautiful. I would hire her today.
