Wireless Remote Docking System Installation in Fort Lauderdale & South Florida
Step off the helm and dock your vessel single-handedly from anywhere on board.
Dockmate is a wireless remote control system that mirrors your engine, thruster, and anchor controls on a handheld transmitter. With proportional joysticks for precise thrust, you can leave the helm, walk to the bow or stern, and handle your own lines while still driving the boat. It makes docking, anchoring, and close-quarters maneuvering far easier, especially when you are shorthanded or working a tricky slip. Our NMEA-certified technicians handle the full installation and integration with your existing controls.
Drive Your Boat From Anywhere On Deck
Docking is the moment most boaters need a second pair of hands. One person on the helm, another on the bow line, maybe a third on the stern. Dockmate changes that. With a wireless transmitter that mirrors your engine, thruster, and windlass controls, you can leave the helm, walk forward or aft, and run the boat while you handle your own lines. The proportional joysticks give you graduated thrust for smooth, controlled movement, so even a tight slip or a crosswind becomes manageable single-handedly.
Wireless Control
A handheld transmitter mirrors your engine, thruster, windlass, and horn controls with no lag and a reliable signal.
Proportional Thrust
Graduated joystick control of bow and stern thrusters delivers precise, smooth thrust instead of abrupt on and off bursts.
Dock Single-Handed
Step off the helm and handle your own lines while still driving the boat, ideal when you are short on crew.
Key Benefits of Dockmate
Wireless control of bow and stern thrusters from anywhere on board, so you are never locked to the helm while docking.
Operate your anchor windlass and engine throttle remotely, letting you set the hook or nudge into the slip from the bow.
Proportional joysticks give graduated thrust for smooth, precise maneuvers in tight marinas, crosswinds, and currents.
Seamless integration with your existing engine and thruster controls, so your original helm levers keep working as before.

Dockmate FAQ
What is Dockmate and how does it work?
Dockmate is a wireless remote control system that communicates directly with your vessel's engine, thruster, anchor windlass, and horn controls. It mirrors the functions of your existing control levers on a handheld transmitter, so you can leave the helm and move anywhere on deck while still driving the boat. This makes docking, anchoring, and close-quarters maneuvering far easier, especially when shorthanded.
Can Dockmate control my bow and stern thrusters?
Yes. Dockmate provides proportional control of both bow and stern thrusters, which means you get variable thrust rather than simple on and off bursts. That precise, graduated control is what lets you make smooth, gentle docking maneuvers even in tight marinas or crosswinds.
Will Dockmate work with my existing boat controls?
In most cases, yes. Dockmate is designed to integrate with the major engine and thruster control systems already on your vessel rather than replacing them. Your original helm controls continue to work exactly as before. Dockmate simply adds a wireless layer on top. Our NMEA-certified technicians handle the full integration with your specific setup.
Is Dockmate only for large yachts?
No. Dockmate is installed on vessels ranging from mid-size cruisers to large motoryachts and sportfish boats. Any owner who has ever struggled to dock single-handedly, manage a crosswind, or handle lines while also running the helm can benefit. It is especially popular on vessels where the captain also handles the lines.
Do you install Dockmate in Miami and Palm Beach?
Yes. Voyager Maritime Alliance Group installs and integrates Dockmate wireless docking systems across all of South Florida, including Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and Palm Beach County. We service vessels from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, and the Keys.
