Lady Cap can take all the time she needs. I'll keep watching all day!
Gal did a good job. No panic, and figured it out. Dude was supportive too. Awesome.
Beautiful and learning how to handle a boat. She's a keeper. 😁
Backup camera man knew what most of us wanted to look at. Good job man! 😂
My nephew and his wife are a team to watch running their boat..she looks like a model and they work like a team..it’s extremely impressive to see her run a boat..
I find boat throttles to generally be a poor design for those wanting a delicate touch. Im sure more expensive boats have great throttle designs. For my little whaler i often grip it at the base and rest my hand on the gunnel to avoid any accidental slip/whiskey throttle.

When docking, I just always put it into idle gear. I almost never need to use more power than idle gear.

@@robramlose8657 Ya true for me with good conditions but I go out fishing rain or shine and use some pretty questionable boat launches that don't always have docks. I also tell the crew to sit tight rather than try to help out which usually does more harm than good.

Exactly, if you leave your hand on top of grip, too easy to shove forward.

I tought my kids early to always grip the throttle at the base. Click in and out of gear as needed. Small adjustments

It's the cables. Everything always comes down to the cables
I think demonstrating your watercraft can hit rocks and not be punctured is an amazing way to show it’s skills and its durability
Best time to learn, not crowded, also hand throttle sucks for new boaters , good job by her and co captain staying cool .
Cool vid, please keep them flowing! ❤️
When learning to dock , Who did it right the first time ? And who does it right every time ? Another question, does anyone down there own a boat hook ?
Good job to the both of them!

Wow this was thrilling
Come zoom in on wifey! We want to see how she handles the joy sticks.
"Don't hurry honey. We got all day and the rest of night. I fueled it up before we went out" 😀
One thing that would change a lot is forget the bow line. You don’t need one for a temporary docking. All you need if the tide is high is the midship line. If you want more than that stern and midship.
Here's what I don't understand: this dock must be more difficult than it looks like because people are always screwing it up. But even in the worst conditions you can nose in, throw a line off the bow around those easy to laso posts, Then put it in reverse towards the dock. Youll end up right where you need to be.
PONTOONS ARE THE FLOATS ON EACH SIDE. THEY SIMPLY CAN GET HOLES IN THEM AND SINK !!

The good thing is though that air is lighter than water so some air gets trapped & they won't sink as fast.. if the hole is on the bottom of the pontoons. Lol
04:26 ".... toss a rope around the pole..." Toss a LINE around the piling. FIFY
At least she looks good!!
The back of the pontoons on that party pontoon look like they hit a lot of stuff.
You can only sink a pontoon by allowing water to enter the pontoon(s) or adding enough weight to overcome the buoyancy.

Yep...when you hit a sharp rock. That usually does it. Lol.
If the boat wants to go to 4...that means 4 will be the busiest dock. She's learning to go to the empty dock when it's busy.
I wanted to know what size engines were on that big pontoon. It sure sped up quickly for the getaway

I'm no boater, so pardon my ignorance. Can someone tell me what that stick thing is on the back of the Sea Hunter at 0:39? Looks like some sort of track or guide to me. Thanks!

This Broncos Guru guy seems like an elitest. I quote him from this video: "This is a different scene, looks like wifey gonna be the captain on this one, and our guy is gonna be in charge of lines." He also apologized to the viewers for using the backup camera guy for this video. Apparently, wifeys and backup camara guys are substandard to "our guy, Broncos Guru."
I thought the camera man did well. Steady hands and close ups when needed. 😉
lol you got to learn somehow
Don't tell me which dock I should use. I said I want #5, and that's what I meant.
The pontoon captain has no clue his engine was trimmed up.
That's why the guy ripped out of there so fast cuz he hit him
It seems,after watching this channel for some time,that very many people should not own boats in Florida. Nobody seems to know when to put it in reverse cranked the other way. Transverse thrust
Why do people not use boat hooks makes landing the boat easy
First boat: I don't think it was naturally trying to go to 4, her actions were making it go that way. She was repeatedly steering and shifting the opposite of what she should have. Second boat: If Bronco hadn't been talking we would have heard them talking and probably known if they collided.
I think the broad's dental floss was a little tight, and hindering her sailing.
Getting a lot of bots on your comment section. That girl was awfully cute
This was the boat owners fault he should not be reimbursed for watercraft. No one should of been up front
Motor boats are far more maneuverable than cars. I don't see why people have such difficulty docking. Can any of these people parallel park a car? I've seen sail boat skippers routinely slide gently up to the dock in anything form very windy conditions to so calm a paddle had to be used. What the hell is wrong with these power boaters? They even have reverse but still they just can't sidle up to the dock.

I think part of the problem is that new boaters try to drive and maneuver them like a car. It doesn't work that way.
Too painful to watch!!
You shouldn’t throw shade on your cameraman! Bad form! No one would even know if you didn’t mention it!
Another over dramatic commentary
