HOW TO TIE A BOAT UP AT THE DOCK
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video we show you how to tie up a boat at the dock. We explain where to position your boat at the dock along the pilings, then show the exact configuration you should use with the lines.
This video is BASED on Florida tides, when you're going to be docked for long periods of time. Not for a quick stop at a restaurant or while at a fuel dock.
Always remember to use 4 lines! A bow line, a stern line, and 2 spring lines. Always tie LONG tight lines, SHORT lines SINK boats!! You can have a tight line as long as its long, so it goes up and down with the tides.

I just came to see how many people had to bring up “ its a line, not a rope”. She probably knows how to tie off a boat better then 3/4 of the people who criticized her! Great video!
Who knew a little informative video for beginners would bring up so many haters! Thanks for the support Rich
I have been boating since I was a kid and I am 74 now, but I still enjoy watching this type of shows, because, even if I don't learn anything new, I am reminded of how to do it properly. I also find that I learn something new, more times than you would think as there are changes in technology and better idea's from other people. Keep up the good work, you make things easy to understand for us all.
I live in at NC Coast where most people have floating docks. A few weeks ago was the first time taking my 24' bay boat to Florida Keys fishing where I had a rental canal house and I was a nervous wreck about tying at a fixed dock for a week. I saw this video while researching best options and forgot everything any others had to say. I purchased 4 25' dock lines just for this, tied boat exactly like shown and it worked perfect. When going fishing I just unhooked lines from the boat and laid them on the dock, come back and hook to same cleats. Once lines were set and tied, I didn't have to adjust. Worked perfect. Thanks for the informative video!
That’s awesome! Glad it worked out for you! Hope you had a great trip!
Awesome video! I have been boating for a long time and did not know how to tie up correctly. Thanks for a great video!
How long is that trip? NC to the keys?
@@gabbyvg.9067 - We live near Wilmington, it is 900 miles to Marathon. Google maps says about 13 hr drive time. Trip down we spent the night in Ft. Pierce Fl then drove the remaining few hours the following morning. Trip home was one day, with fuel and rest stops it took exactly 16 hours to get home on return trip. Not bad, and had such a good time that we are already figuring out that we want to make it a annual trip. But will make the future trips 10-14 days instead of 7 days, make it worth the 1800 mile trip!
I moved to Corpus Christi,Texas with my folks when I was 13. I am now 72 and learned something new to me yet again. Excellent instructions and a great video. I had a 28 ft bay shrimp boat sink 3 times over a period of 2 years at the dock. Never knew why it happened til now. I always assumed the battery died on the bilge pump LOL.
Thank you so much for all assistance!!! You'll never know how much you helped me. I am about to be a first time boat owner and I am doing my research in every area possible!!! MUCH LOVE!!!
I'm a new boater and found this very informative Brook. Thanks to your and your Dad for the great tips. Happy Boating!!
I do like this kind of video; I didn't know this and I've been docking boats for years. I don't think I've ever seen any one do this. LIKED
I referred to the lines as "ropes" the correct terminology is "lines"! My mistake! Also this is a tutorial based on South Florida tides. Yes, there are locations around the world with extreme tides (example 12ft tides) this is not for that kind of situation. Also this it not how we would tie the boat in the event of a hurricane coming.
Brook Crist Outdoors really enjoyed video
Check out the tidal change in the Bay of Fundy. Crazy.
Beginners video ropes are just fine dont confuse them...
Yep good point. During hurricanes the boat should be out of the water. I have a place on Marco Island in SW Florida and we were hit with Cat 3/4 hurricane Irma almost 2 years ago. I tied my boat down on its lift and it was fine but others tied theirs down at a dock were not so fortunate. The canal water level dropped over 10 feet just before the hurricane hit and then a 10 foot surge just after the hurricane, not to mention the 150 mph winds. Boats that were tied up in the marina piled on top of one another. Even a great tie isn't going to save it.
Brook, I'm a bit of an old salt and "ropes" is one of the first things I heard you say. No big deal, we all knew what you meant. At the end of the day, you and your dad are doing a very nice thing and providing a great service to our boating community. The purpose of my comment is I have watched many videos over the years and there are certain types of people who might thumb down or leave negative comments. Should that ever happen, please don't get disheartened, the value you bring to the community is a very worthy cause. I have been tying my boat to docks for almost 40 years and not only enjoyed your video, but I also watched it in its entirety.
I found this VLOG to be very informative. In my youth I had a boat and went to a marine boating class and read a few books about boating. I never had this explained the way you explained it. I would and will recommend this VLOG to every boater I know. Thank You for one of the best VLOGs. I would love to see more VLOGs like this in the Future.
Thank you for that!
From a freshwater guy who is accustomed to floating docks, this video is very helpful. I'll watch it again before I go to the Keys this summer. Thank-you.
Great video. Your dad is a natural. He really drove the message home. Learned more in this short video than I did in an hour at a boating course at the marina. Keep it up!
New Boater here.....your dad really knows his stuff. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Thank you both for taking the time to do this video.
Great video, lovely family. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Greetings from Costa Rica !!! Pura vida !!!
Hmmmm I need to train more how dock my boat when I see how smooth this Captain Brooke did it!!!!!!!!! Im impressed and envy :D
I finally learned how to tie a boat at a sea dock without having to leave a "guard" to watch the lines. Thank you Brook Crist.
Great training video. Very important topic. Very well presented. Thx.
Just saw this. Nice to see you again Brian. Still making the best canvas for boats in South Florida! The Special K III canvas is still holding up well after all these years.
Thank you!!! I'm that guy that trailers my boat & never really knew how to tie it up until now. Thanks again & I like the way you come across & really care about what your teaching...👌👌👌👍👍👍
Thanks for such an informative video. Last September we booked a bungalow at Staniel Cay that came with the use of a dingy. Being from Kentucky , we have a severe lack of ocean, I didn't know much about tying up at a dock. We usually trailer into and from the lake. As you can imagine I had a tough time keeping the skiff from floating under the dock. I wish that I had seen this video sooner. Next time I will be better prepared.
Thx Brian and Brooke. I always wondered about the Spring line. Great explanation!
That was the best demonstration of tying up a boat that I've ever seen. Great job!!
Great video and great instructors. Thanks for taking the time.
He is exactly right when he says most people just trailer a boat and don’t have much experience with docking and cleats. I can totally relate to that and thank you for the lesson. I hope your TH-cam channel makes you a ton of money.
This is a phenomenal video. Im sending this to every new and current boater I know !! Truly a gem
This information is right on the mark. I have been boating in Florida for over 50 years.
I learned these principles early and have never has any dock problems.
Thanks for sharing this video. It is practical, simple, and important to ensure effective docking. Nice job!
Great video Brooke and Brian; my first boat hits the water tomorrow, and feel so much more relaxed after seeing your process. Thanks so Much
Good demo I boated Lake Erie and never really had to worry about tide . I liked the info on the long tight lines
Great video I love people who take pride in what they do doing it right will save you headaches in the long run thanks for sharing
Brand new boat owner and these tips are invaluable and so well presented to teach (I'm a teacher!). Thank you!!
Thanks guys, important stuff to know! Never could figure out knots. I enjoy your videos!
Thanks finally a good video
I'm a new boater and this is much need info
One of the best explanations I’ve ever heard.
I just watched a video on boat driving tips then this came up, I've been running boats for over 20 years and grateful that I don't know it all, Lol! Thanks for the great tips!
Good to know. Appreciate the “why” we should do it as explained.
Brooke, just a small observation. It would be more “nautical” if you referred to the ropes as lines.
Good work by you and your dad.
This is all fine and dandy EXCEPT when your docking at a busy Dock !!!. There will be 4/6 boats trying to dock at this dock !! You using Long lines and using 4+ dock cleats will piss off other boaters !! Don't get me wrong, You're 100% Correct with this Line method !!!!. But, If you attempt to do this at a busy Dock, Any Dock Tender (Person helping with docking at many places) won't allow you to do this !!!! They INSIST on Short lines, And most only allow 2 cleats for smaller boats !!. Believe me, I've had this argument many times !!!!. BUT, Great Video and explanation of how the lines work !! Many MANY boaters don't understand this !!. Thanks
I was thinking that the entire time watching the video. The method shown is not practical in 90% of the situations encountered. No f'ing way you can run a line that long at a public dock. Thankfully I'm on a lake and never deal with tide issues so my lines can be shorter.
That is true but most of the docks around here are floating docks and short lines are the norm. We always tied up bow and stern lines toward the middle plus an additional spring line. Of course, we were 55 ft long too. lol
WE are in the northeast and all tie-ups are short and tight. We are always tying to a float, though. 2 lines are all that are needed up here.
Love this video and great concepts to learn but agree about hogging cleats at public docks. Another way to do this at a busy dock is to wrap piling by using the loop end to create a large loop that can go around even pilings this size and then tying off to your boat cleats. If you need to use the same piling as another boater, you can "dip the eye" by going up through your neighbors loop around the piling and then around the piling with your loop so that both of you can release without disturbing the other line. As to the set up in the video, I would tie another line over the mid-cleat to make sure the spring lines don;t back off the cleat horns.
@@erictwombly7233 Makes sense.
Thanks for video, I've owned a boat for about 8 years, don't dock much so this is great information. 👍
Best instruction video ever. The to do tips were great.
What an awesome video!! I have a few tweaks to my docking now... This applies nicely to non-tidal fresh water also.
Thanks for the information! The little things like this make a world of difference for new boat owners. Look forward to more videos like this!
All great info again! Can not wait for duck hunting soon!!!!
Brook, Great info coming from your Dad, I'm a former Coast Guard and he hit it right out of the park.
Great knowledge video when I get my boat I can tie it up perfect thanks from Jacksonville Florida my grandson says great video
Good job Brook! Good job dad!
I completely understand.
I learned lots of things from this video. Great job dad! These recommendations are based on many years of experience. Thank you and have a great Thanksgiving day!
This takes you to the "advanced" level.....! Nice and clear instructions !!
Good stuff Brian... such a nice gentleman... calm and collected. Brooke is lucky to have such a man as a father.
Absolutely fantastic video thank you for sharing 👊
Wow! Great Video and extremely informative. I grew up on a lake with 2 boats and 2 jet skis. Obviously we didn’t have to worry about the rise and fall of the tide (man made lake, water level controlled by dam). I live in the DFW area of Texas. We are gonna be moving to the Tampa area and I need to polish my boating knowledge. I will be referring to videos. Again great video.
God Bless,
J.D.
Great tutorial! Thx Brook and Pops.
This is perfect! Thank you for this video
I work at a Marina and help boats dock all the time.....I learned something from this video. Thanks!
Very helpful video... even if you don"t use a permanent dock with tides. The same technique will be useful when your boat is subject to the wake created by passing boats.
Great video topic and execution. Thanks!
That video was amazing and super informative, your Dad did a great job Brook, and as always so did you.
This was great thank you guys so much!!
Too many new boaters today. Nobody born with the knowledge. These kind of tips helps a lot. Thank you for sharing those tips!!!!
Great video. Glad you Dad is involved and filming with you a lot now. Excellent tips also.
After 16 years - it’s great to finally know this!
Impressive and I will definitely pass this on to my other boating friends. Thank 🔆you
Brilliant video, thank you!
Thank you, love this technique, very helpful.
Thanks Brooke and Brian! Very well made informative video. I’ll definitely give you guys a follow on the other channel
Good video Brian and Brook. No tides where I boat but I never thought about using long lines in tidal areas. Great information.
Good video and yes i did learn something. Thank you!
This was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
I really enjoyed the instructional video. More, please.
Thank you!
I don't even have a boat!!!! But I watched the whole video. Bloody excellent sir.
First day of me in work like receptionist of the private ships so I did open this video that very clear about things that should to do it during tie a boat and set the behave.
nailed it again Brook ,,, way to go girl 💪🎖
love watching your videos, ty
Very informative video - thanks for sharing!
Great video, clear, concise, explained the principles so well. Wish I saw it before I scratched my boat so many times in the past.
Excellent. Thank you so much. Keep up the "How To" Videos coming.
Great video. I've been boating for years and this was a superb explanation. I learned a few things. I never thought of the long vs short line concept, duhh. Just this week I heard a story about a guy who sunk a boat because it slipped under the dock as you described. And he was an "experienced" boater. Embarrassing!
Awsome info. Nice family. Just learned something thanks to u guys😊
Really helpful video..thanks to you and to your dad..👍👍
Having taken a Seamenship class, we learned that a ROPE is a LINE on a boat. Your video was really good and so valuable. As the Coast Guard would say, "if a boater does not know how to tie a real knot, they will tie a MORE KNOT". In other words they tie something till they run out of line. That's when they are done! :) Again, thank you for the great video.
Very informative! Great job guys!
Wow, what a great video! You guys are awesome! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
So true, boating for 10 years with a trailer, thinking about putting my boat in a slip...now I know how to tie up!...Thanks!!!
Wow! This is awesome!
Very imformative. Thank you.
Thank you. I just bought a boat, although used it is in great shape and docking feels intimidating and this was helpful.
Thanks for the video. I am docked at exactly the same situation as you showed. I will give it a try.
I've always been terrible with tying knots. I'm going to be the boss now when I get my boat. This was like ninja school black magic. You guys are awesome.
Thanks for this very informative video...
Love this one Brooke, it’s so nice to see more from your Dad! He always seems to hide from the Cam in respect to his princess (you)
Happy thanksgiving Brian, Brooke, and all the fellow land sharks 🦈🦈🦈
He’s always in the zone when we’re fishing haha.. but he’s very passionate about tieing boats correctly as you could tell ! Happy thanksgiving!
Brooke how about a turkey fish catch & cook LOL
Brilliant! Thank you so much 😁
from egypt.... great brook.awesome
Excellent video! Good point about using the cleat on the far side of the piling. I not the knot you use on the cleat, we were shown two full turns and two eights and then a single hitch. Can't wait to get back on the water!!
Thanks for the good information
Awesome information . Thank you !!
Nice folks. Great video. Worth watching.
Thank you for the information. New boaters really appreciate the help.
Thanks! Very informative.
This was great Brook. All the best to you and your Dad.
I watched your video twice......luuuved it! Brian & Brokk, Father Daughter, AWESOME! You two made such an amazing and useful video! I'd like to see more of both of you!
Always and another great video.
Very informative and thanks for sharing. I need a mullosk catch and cook video. Thank you.
Great info! Thank you.
