How to Choose the Right Dock Lines for Your Boat

Picking the best dock lines depends on your boat size, docking situation, and weather conditions. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Dock Line Length & Diameter

  • Length: A general rule is to use dock lines that are at least 1.5x the length of your boat for flexibility.
  • Diameter: Smaller boats (under 20’) typically use ⅜” dock lines, while larger boats (30’+) need ½” or thicker lines for added strength.

2. Dock Line Material

  • Nylon Dock Lines – The gold standard! They offer strength, flexibility, and resistance to UV rays, saltwater, and abrasion.
  • Polyester & Polypropylene – Sometimes used, but less stretch and durability than nylon.

3. Types of Dock Lines

  • Double-Braided Nylon: Strong, flexible, and resistant to kinks.
  • Three-Strand Nylon: Great for stretching and absorbing shock in rough waters.
  • Pre-Spliced Dock Lines: Ready to use with a built-in loop for easy securing.

4. How Many Dock Lines Do You Need?

For most boats, having at least four dock lines is ideal:

  • Bow & Stern Lines – Keep the boat in place.
  • Spring Lines – Prevent forward and backward movement.
