"Mooring my yacht used to be really stressful especially if it was windy, or I had to manoeuvre into a tight spot. Since the team from Princess fitted dockmate, it’s been so much easier. I can now handle everything from anywhere on board. The installation was quick and painless, and the kit is really easy to use."
