What does your boatlife situation look like?

You want to, but fear takes over

Perhaps you have always been a passager onboard. Sure it has been a bliss, but your dream to be able to take out the boat all by yourself or with friends is so powerful. Maybe you have dared to steer on open waters, but as soon as you come close to other boats or a harbor, you hand over the wheel to that someone else. You really want to have the confidence to dock at the jetty, but you don’t dare.

Hard to chill at low speed

Maneuvering your motorboat at low speed in tight harbors and narrow canals can feel like a huge challenge. The boat does not behave the way you expect. Wind and current make you drift.

People at the jetty and in neighboring boats are watching you. It can feel scary and stage fright sets in, resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy…

You want to share the helm, but...

Many times traditional social roles imply that the person onboard who is least physically built to handle heavy anchors and challenging climbs when docking, is the person who always is assigned those duties (on top of other ordinary household duties).

And perhaps the person who normally takes the wheel when docking is as afraid as anyone, but does it anyway. Time for change?

I have been in your situation!

I was 35 when I started driving a motorboat. My dream of experiencing the Stockholm archipelago gave me the courage to take the step. In the beginning, I knew nothing. I took several traditional boating courses, but even though instructors said I was doing things right, my boat didn’t behave as I expected.

This made me nervous and frustrated, and I almost gave up on my boating dream. Eventually, I realized why: it was my own thoughts and unconscious behaviors holding me back. Once I understood this, maneuvering became easy – in all recreational boat models.

Of course, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. Now I want to share my experience, both from my own boating life and from helping over 2,000 people find a harmonious boating life. The online course includes exercises I, Maria Lannér, have developed with clients since 2016. I hold a Class 8 license and am also a certified leadership coach.
