A magnetic boat docking system includes an elongated pole having a handle end and a working end and a docking line having a magnetic member attached thereto. The pole has a magnet for attracting the magnetic member of the docking line where the magnet is located adjacent the working end of the pole. The pole also has a hook adapted to aid in grasping the docking line and a rod slidably extending within the pole with the magnet attached thereto in order to retract the magnet within the pole to release the line.
