She provides them with an abundance of wisdom, sometimes with a healthy dose of acidic wit.<\/p>\n<p>While no Miss Manners are in boating, there are commonly accepted rules for proper behavior. Good marina etiquette is easy to put into practice, too. From pulling into your slip to hosting guests onboard, the basics come down to treating others the way you\u2019d like to be treated. Follow these <strong>seven mindful practices for good marina etiquette<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Watch your wake<\/li>\n<li>Skip the screaming<\/li>\n<li>Keep it clean<\/li>\n<li>Squash the sound<\/li>\n<li>Leave when loaded<\/li>\n<li>Board with permission<\/li>\n<li>Lend a helping hand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Read all the way through to catch all <strong>Pro Tips<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/a\/list-boat\">List your boat &amp; start earning an avg. of $20K yearly with Boatsetter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Watch_your_wake\"><\/span>1. Watch your wake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All those no-wake zones exist for a reason. Coming in or heading out at any semblance of speed rocks everyone else\u2019s boats and tosses people around. It also risks them getting hurt, and you ultimately losing docking privileges. Consider, too, that the ecosystem suffers damage from excess wake.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35085 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/no-wake-zone-marina.jpg\" alt=\"No wake zone at a marina.\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/no-wake-zone-marina.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/no-wake-zone-marina-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Skip_the_screaming\"><\/span>2. Skip the screaming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve all felt our blood pressure rising as wind and waves make it more difficult to dock. Taking deep breaths, not barking at your significant other, changes the situation. Don\u2019t be That Guy or That Girl. Take a boat-handling course together, and practice\u2014a lot\u2014together.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_it_clean\"><\/span>3. Keep it clean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Avoid creating trip hazards on the dock. Coil your dock lines, and put away your shore power cords. Keep your gear, from bikes to water toys, stowed in your cabin or a dock box. If you borrow a dock cart, make sure to return it to its proper place on shore, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/achieving-a-top-owner-badge-on-boatsetter\">READ MORE: Achieving a Top Owner Badge on Boatsetter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35206 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/coiled-dock-line.jpg\" alt=\"Coiled dock line.\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/coiled-dock-line.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/coiled-dock-line-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Squash_the_sound\"><\/span>4. Squash the sound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a sailor, secure your halyards so they don\u2019t slap and clank all day (or worse, all night). Regardless of whether you own a sailboat or powerboat, turn down the VHF when you\u2019re sitting on board in your slip.<\/p>\n<p>Turn it off when you\u2019re ready to head to your car. Good marina etiquette further calls for quelling TV volume and for moderate music, particularly at night. Finally, if you\u2019re hosting a party onboard, heading out to an anchorage might be better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> When sharing a pole (or piling) with another boater, dip your line through their loop to remove either line without disturbing the other.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Leave_when_loaded\"><\/span>5. Leave when loaded<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fuel docks serve just one purpose, fueling. After you top off your tanks, avoid lingering so that you clear the way for the next cruiser. Undoubtedly, though, some fuel-dock attendants are good conversationalists, or you might seek their cruising recommendations. In those cases, ask if you can tie up a few feet ahead of the pump to finish the chat. Then, wrap things up expeditiously.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34286 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fuel-dock.jpg\" alt=\"Fuel dock.\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fuel-dock.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fuel-dock-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Board_with_permission\"><\/span>6. Board with permission<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Boaters are super friendly, so certainly, chat with your neighbors. You might just learn you have a few things other than the love of the water in common.<\/p>\n<p>You can even trade cruising tips. However, good marina etiquette means waiting for them to invite you to step aboard. Also, don\u2019t help yourself to their PFDs or other gear without asking first!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Lend_a_helping_hand\"><\/span>7. Lend a helping hand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the greatest things when it comes to the boating community is the willingness to lend a hand. Plenty of fellow boaters will offer to catch your lines, for instance, or hold fenders while you pull into your slip. Just as minding your manners means being kind to others, good marina etiquette means returning the favor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35207 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/tying-up-a-boat.jpg\" alt=\"Tying up a boat.\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/tying-up-a-boat.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/tying-up-a-boat-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Minding your manners isn\u2019t just for kids at the dinner table.
