A watercraft auto-docking system basically includes a user interface and a digital controller. The user interface includes a display monitor. The digital controller includes a processor, a computer memory and an I/O interface. The user interface is connected to the I/O interface. The digital controller is configured to select a target dock for docking a watercraft in an auto-docking mode. The digital controller is configured to generate a docking path including a single waypoint from a current location of the watercraft to a target location of the target dock. The digital controller is configured to autonomously navigate the watercraft using an autopilot system along the docking path until the watercraft reaches the target location of the target dock such that the watercraft turns at the single waypoint to align with a target orientation of the watercraft at the target location of the target dock.
