Docking dynamo

Volvo Penta is committed to making boating as easy and accessible as possible, ensuring the ultimate experience and enabling adventures out on the water.

Since its launch for the Inboard Performance System (IPS) in 2021, the Volvo Penta Assisted Docking system has been highly regarded for simplifying docking an inboard boat and making it semi-automated. Starting in 2025, the technology is being extended to boats powered by DPI sterndrives, broadening access to enhanced control, precision and confidence.

Volvo Penta’s Assisted Docking system is an industry-first innovation in semi-automated boating that gives boaters enhanced control and precision when docking. Now extended to a wider range of boats installed with DPI sterndrives, it brings the benefits of semi-automation to even more boaters. Introduced in 2019, the Volvo Penta DPI propulsion package is recognized for its smooth shifting and superior handling.
