Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – DOCKMATE®, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote-control systems for yachts, announced today its next-generation marine control technology, the DOCKMATE PRO, has been named one of the 2026 Boating Industry Top Products by the editors of the publication.
Organized and judged by the editorial team at Boating Industry magazine, the 13th annual Top Products awards recognized the marine industry’s newest and most innovative products and services launched in the last year. To be eligible for consideration, products or services must have been introduced or significantly updated since January 2025. The Boating Industry editors said the winning products were chosen based on many factors such as innovation, their impact on the industry, and how they help advance technology in their category.
“Thank you to the team at Boating Industry for honoring the DOCKMATE PRO with this coveted recognition,” said Marc Curreri, CEO, DOCKMATE US. “The DOCKMATE PRO brings a new level of boater confidence by seamlessly combining redundant safety, intuitive control and smart environmental sensing in a sleek and durable package. We’re confident that vessel operators will appreciate the level of technology and innovations featured in this remote.”
Offering truly proportional control, the DOCKMATE PRO proportional tactile lever action system allows for ultra-smooth, intuitive modulation of both engines and thrusters. Rather than binary “on/off” commands, operators enjoy precise, tactile control that mirrors the natural feel of manual throttles — perfect for tight quarters, docking, or maneuvering in challenging conditions. Each control lever features dual independent channels, both magnetic and capacitive, delivering redundancy that ensures continued operation even in the event of a single system fault. This layered design reflects aviation-grade safety thinking, now applied to marine controls.
