The "why" behind boat docking is not what is important, but instead you should be focusing on the "how to". The How To's found within this book will lead you to learn how to successfully dock your boat, even when the winds are strong or the currents are stronger. This book presents local knowledge possessed by its author in a way that is easy to understand and even easier to implement, as it is a simple seven step process. This book is ideal for helmsmen and helmswomen with single engine inboard vessels, power or sail, twin-engine outboard and inboard vessels, single-engine outboards, single engine inboards and outboards and stern driven vessels.

Captain Ron Redmond and Captain Katherine Redmond are both USCG Licensed Captains with more than 30 years of boating under their belts, including two years as liveaboards on the Intracoastal Waterway. Together they operate the Sea Search school of seamanship, where more than 1700 students have learned about navigation, boating safety and boat docking. Additionally, they have several other titles under their belt, including "Chartracker Navigation Guide to the Florida Keys' and "Chartracker to the Intracoastal Waterway-Norfolk to Jacksonville".

Regardless of whether you are a beginning boater or have been hitting the seas for a while, the best guides for improving your boating skills are those which are practical and involve easy to implement step by step processes for navigation, boat docking, boating safety and other aspects of the boating experience. If you are looking for a practical guide that focuses on the concept of boat docking in a way that is easy to implement and easy to understand, then "7 Steps to Successful Boat Docking" is an excellent guide worth picking up.
