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.

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

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.

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

great Captain and instructor! bad-ass joystick operation!

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

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!

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. 😁

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

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

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

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.

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

Sweet! And GREAT instruction.

Nothing like a gentle touch! Bravo!

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

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

awesome control features and great instructor

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

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

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

You have the touch, Great Job

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

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

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

First Time I have seen This, She ROCKS!

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

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

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

sehr gut geparkt! Bravo!!

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

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

WONDERFUL SYSTEM!!

awesome she made it look so easy

She did a great job😊

Very good listener ..well done !!

Amazing boat, The lady still did a good job.

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.

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 docking..

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

Well done!

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

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

Good Work Amber!!!

Respect - well done.

That was like a boss! You go girl !!

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

Great tuition ⛵️👍

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.

Awesome job there

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

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...

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.

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!

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

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

She did great.

Great job.

Awesome. Nice Kekoa hat.

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

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?

She looks comfortable with a joystick

Like the Kekoa hat! St. John Usvi represent !

Good Job!

Nailed it ! ! ! Awesome Sauce !

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 :)

thats some kool stuff right there

Awesome tutorial Ben !

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.

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

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.

Bravo mademoiselle 👍

Well Done!

nice work!

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

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.

Good job

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

That water is calmer than my bathtub

Good going

BADASS!!!

cool as a cucumber - great job!

top job !!

She's a natural

That’s sick

amazing

Very cool

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

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

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.

You rock girl

Love to see her do it with NO Dynamic controls that cost the earth. Just a wheel and power controls!

good job

Class!

Thx great video

Now take that joystick and make it wireless so the pilot can walk around and get a really good look from both sides and you've really got something.

Thats an talented girl!
