Systems and methods for pairing marine vessels with docking stations

Abstract

A docking station system for marine vessels is provided. The system includes multiple marine vessels, each of the marine vessels having a navigation system configured to determine a position of the marine vessel, and multiple docking stations. Each of the docking stations is located on a dock structure and is configured to provide a designated location to dock at least one marine vessel. The system further includes a control system configured to execute a calibration process wherein the control system receives and stores the positions of each of the docking stations based on position data collected by the navigation system when one of the plurality of marine vessels is docked at the docking station. The control system is further configured to detect that one of the marine vessels needs docking and to pair the marine vessel that needs docking to one of the docking stations.
