Choosing a wireless docking system is not just about convenience—it’s about compatibility, compliance, and confidence.

Let’s set the record straight: Dockmate is not inferior—it is an extension of the helm. In fact, during sea trials and captain training sessions, the feedback is consistent:

When you’re evaluating a wireless docking remote, the choice should be about what you need—not what other brands tell you is possible. Unfortunately, too often competitors try to fit every boater into their narrow box of options.

In every industry, there are products that compete on price—and then there are products that compete on value.
