About
DockDoc
DockDoc is a community-driven platform that brings together practical, real-world boating repair knowledge in one place.
For years, the information boaters needed lived in scattered forums, old manuals, dock talk, and occasional YouTube clips. DockDoc exists to gather all of that experience and turn it into clear, step-by-step guides that anyone can follow.
The goal is simple:
Centralize the community’s shared knowledge so boaters can fix, maintain, and understand their vessels with confidence.
Every guide on DockDoc is written by someone who’s been there — someone who took apart a pump, traced a wire, patched a leak, or solved a tricky problem and decided to document the process so the next sailor doesn’t have to start from zero.
Creating a guide is simple: write the steps, add a few photos or a short video, and share it with the community.
DockDoc is for everyone:
New boat owners learning the basics
Weekend sailors maintaining their gear
Cruisers preparing for long passages
Liveaboards troubleshooting daily problems
DIY enthusiasts who love to improve their boat
Anyone who’s figured something out and wants to help someone else
Your experience matters. Every small trick, photo, or explanation adds to a growing library that makes boating easier, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone.
Join the community. Share what you’ve learned. Learn from what others have documented.
Together, we’re preserving valuable knowledge and building a resource that helps boaters everywhere.
Welcome aboard DockDoc – the place where the boating community keeps its knowledge alive.
