BOAT HANDLING, involves the techniques and skills required to effectively and safely move boats. It includes controlling the direction of the boat, managing speed, navigating through waves and currents, docking and mooring, executing turns, adjusting trim and being prepared for emergencies. Proficiency in boat handling enables operators to maneuver and control boats in various conditions and situations, ensuring smooth and secure movement on the water. Sometimes it may be as simple as moving the boat from the slip to fuel dock.

In some situations, boat handling may require holding still not moving allowing for time to pass while traffic clears, maybe fuel dock is busy or an opening schedule for a bridge or lock and the boats needs to be stationary not moving. It's crucial to practice proper boat handling techniques for holding still, considering factors like wind, current, and other vessels.
