Watercraft maneuvering system and watercraft

A watercraft comprising:

• a hull;
• a watercraft propulsion system on the hull to generate a propulsive force to the hull;
• and
• a watercraft maneuvering system including:
• a controller configured or programmed to control the watercraft propulsion system;
• a portable watercraft maneuvering device to be carried by a captain and wirelessly communicable with the controller;
• and
• a captain tag to be carried by the captain and wirelessly communicable with the controller;
• wherein
• the portable watercraft maneuvering device includes a course operator operable to provide a course command indicating a course of the watercraft, and a propulsion system switch operable to provide a start/stop command to start and/or stop the watercraft propulsion system;
• the portable watercraft maneuvering device is operable to generate a watercraft maneuvering command signal according to the operation of the course operator, and generate a propulsion system command signal according to the operation of the propulsion system switch;
• the captain tag includes an emergency stop operator operable by the captain to generate an emergency stop signal to provide an emergency stop command to perform an emergency stop of the watercraft propulsion system;
• and
• the controller is configured or programmed to perform a watercraft maneuvering control operation to control the watercraft propulsion system in response to input of the watercraft maneuvering command signal from the portable watercraft maneuvering device, to perform a propulsion system control operation to start and/or stop the watercraft propulsion system in response to input of the propulsion system command signal from the portable watercraft maneuvering device, and to perform an emergency stop control process to stop the generation of the propulsive force by the watercraft propulsion system in response to input of the emergency stop signal from the captain tag.
