Maintain a steady heading while your vessel drifts naturally. Drift Lock automatically compensates for wind and current, reducing manual steering corrections and lowering helm workload. Ideal for fishing operations, survey work, offshore standby, or waiting at sea, whenever stable heading control is essential.
We have spent a significant amount of time and research over the years to ensure that the Dockmate remote control system provides boaters with the best control of their vessels in some of the more stressful situations like docking and close quarters maneuvering.
Our dedication to your peace of mind on the water has never been stronger. DPS is more than a feature; it’s our promise to you.
In 2024, Dockmate® redefined the art of yacht control with the groundbreaking Dockmate Positioning System (DPS). Experience unparalleled stability at sea or in the marina with a revolutionary system that integrates the finesse of Dockmate’s wireless remote control systems with the precise accuracy of dynamic positioning.
When using a Dockmate® remote, that was charged to 100%, it takes up to 3 hours of constant use (remote actively communicating with the Receiver) to deplete the battery. This translates to a few very difficult and/or long docking manoeuvres, or lasts at least 15 docking manoeuvres of approximately 10 minutes.
During our test charging a Dockmate® remote from empty to completely full takes up to 3 hours. In practice we’ve observed a typical charging time for a Dockmate® remote of 20 to 40 min. For boaters using our latest Dockmate® Cradle, their Dockmate® remote is virtually always charged up and ready for use.
