A method of proximity sensing on a marine vessel includes storing at least one zone map, wherein the zone map divides an area surrounding the marine vessel into two or more zones. Proximity measurements measured by one or more proximity sensors on the marine vessel are received, and the proximity measurements are then divided into zone sets based on a location of each proximity measurement with respect to the zone map. A closest proximity measurement in each zone set is then identified and a zone-filtered dataset is generated. The zone-filtered dataset contains only the closest proximity measurement from each zone set.
