A moorage for affixing to a floating dock and allowing a user to single handedly soft land, dock, and moor a boat thereto. Attaching apparatus attaches to the floating dock. Bow stop apparatus is connected to the attaching apparatus by connecting apparatus and is engaged by a bow of the boat during mooring. The connecting apparatus is generally vertically-oriented, straight, slender, and elongated. The attaching apparatus includes a lower portion and an upper portion which both receive a lower end of the connecting member. The bow stop apparatus includes a pair of plates that diverge away from the connecting member. In an alternate embodiment, the pair of plates are resiliently attached to the connecting apparatus by coil springs that act as shock absorbers when the pair of plates are impacted upon by the bow of the boat during mooring.
