If you have a jet boat, you will know how terrible it can be to dock them, especially as a beginner. This tool is a blessing from the gods! I thought I was going to be laughed off the lake when I showed up with this. Nope! People were impressed! Way to make a job significantly easier! Wasnt thrilled at the price, but quickly learned that the cost was worth it! Highly recommend!

I had one. I loved it. So I bought another. We dock at a river marina where the current can sometimes make it a chore to dock our pontoon boat. Now we have two. When docking, someone up front uses the longer one to grab the forward cleat and pull us up and in while I (or someone else in the rear) use the shorter one to grab the rear cleat and pull us tight to the dock until we can tie up. The ONLY complaint I have is that while the whole thing floats, the looped part does not. We had an incident where someone thought she was loosening so that she could extend the pole, but she was actually undoing the looped end from the pole. And it fell in the water never to be seen again. That's user error for sure, but it would be a great feature if that could also float in case you have something like that happen.

I go out a lot on my 23 ft deckboat alone. This tool provides a safe, stress-free; simple method for catching the cleat and pulling your boat to the dock. On one particular day this year I got caught out with heavy winds that kept pushing my boat away from the dock as I tried to angle it in. The boat loop helped me catch the cleat from a pretty far distance out by extending the pole to its maximum length and pull myself in against the wind. Easily. Without this tool this scene could have gone bad pretty fast.

Adding the loop to a standard boat hook was a great idea. I bought this tool this year and have only used it for one boating season so far. The rod and the rubberized hook appears to be durable with solid construction. A solid 5 stars!

A. The boat loop is a great tool. We have been boating for years, and I had never thought about using a boat hook for anything more than snagging a mooring line or something that had fallen over board. We were going through a lock and I noticed another boat using a boat hook to snag lines on the sides to smooth their docking process and remain in place as the water was rising. It made me think I was missing a big opportunity to make our docking life easier as most of our docking is done with my wife standing at the stern. This works great, but if I fail to get the stern to swing just right it can get difficult and precarious fast. I was lucky to run across the boat loop. It is so much more than your standard boat hook. The loop and post allows you to push, pull snag, or loop anything from lines, docks, cleats, or walls. If there is a feature on a dock, you can probably snag it with The Boat Loop.

On top of that RS Marine has always shipped quickly and the product is delivered as promised. That's right, I've dealt with them multiple times, not because anything broke, but because the boat loop is handy enough that I have them on different boats.

This boat loop is one the best items I've purchased so far.......Im now able to help dock the boat with no problems.
I almost fell off the boat a few times trying to get the dock rope on the pylon especially on windy days but no more...Once you get looped you can then the your dock rope on........I purchased the X-Large and Its just the right size. {It fully extends}..I've used it 3 times so far and its worked just like the description says.....This little thing can save you from getting injured.
I keep mine in the storage area till docking time so It stays out of the way.
