The best way to moor a pontoon boat is to approach the dock at a slow speed, aligning the boat parallel to the dock. Use fenders to protect the sides of the boat from rubbing against the dock. Secure the boat with bow and stern lines, ensuring they're tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight that they cause strain. Finally, always double-check that all lines are secure before leaving the boat.
