Dockmate® Position System

Stay exactly where
you want to be

Made for boaters, by boaters

Dockmate Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) automatically maintains your vessel’s position and heading at the touch of a button.

Whether you’re waiting at a fuel dock, preparing your dock lines in a marina or holding position in wind and current, DPS continuously compensates for external forces using intelligent control algorithms and real-time propulsion adjustments.

Designed for confidence. Built for precision.

Tailored to your boat,
remotely controlled

Dockmate DPS works as a natural extension of your Dockmate wireless control system. Every boat is different, and so is the way it’s used.

That’s why Dockmate DPS isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. During the configuration process, your authorised Dockmate distributor will help determine which positioning modes best suit your vessel, propulsion system and boating style.

Whether you spend your weekends cruising marinas, waiting offshore, fishing or navigating busy waterways, your Dockmate system is configured around the features that matter most to you. Together, you create a positioning system
that fits your boat – not the other way around.

Our remotes

Five intelligent modes.
One complete positioning system

Every boating situation is different. That’s why Dockmate DPS offers five dedicated operating modes.

Dynamic Docking

Maintain complete manual control while manoeuvring.

The moment you release the controls, Dynamic Docking automatically brings your vessel to a complete stop and holds it in position. The system continuously compensates for wind and current while you prepare your next move. When you’re ready, simply continue manoeuvring. Ideal for docking in tight marinas with maximum confidence.

Ocean Mode

Perfect when waiting offshore or outside a marina.

Ocean Mode keeps your vessel within a predefined radius around your selected position. As wind and current change, the system continuously adjusts heading and propulsion while allowing the vessel to move naturally within the selected boundary – similar to the behaviour of an anchored boat.

Drift Lock

Designed for anglers who want to focus on fishing instead of steering.

Drift Lock keeps your selected heading while allowing the vessel to drift naturally with wind and current. The system automatically corrects heading deviations, helping you stay on your fishing line without constantly operating the helm. Compatible with both single and twin engine vessels.

Anchor Watch

For additional confidence when you're stationary.

Anchor Watch actively controls your engines and thrusters to maintain both your vessel's position and heading close to the selected target location. Perfect when changing conditions demand continuous position keeping.

Precision Mode

Monitor your vessel's position without engaging the engines or thrusters.

Precision Mode continuously measures the distance from your selected position. If your boat moves outside the predefined range, the system immediately issues an alarm. This mode can even operate while the remote, receiver, engines and thrusters are switched off.
