Abstract: A positional sensor detects a current position and a current bearing of a boat body and outputs position information indicating the current position and the current bearing. A controller receives the position information. The controller determines a first target position of the boat body and a target bearing in the first target position.

A controller is communicatively connected to the first sensor and the second sensor. When the distance from the boat body to the shore arrival location is greater than a predetermined distance threshold, the controller generates, based on the first environment information, an instruction signal to control a propulsion device to as to cause the boat body to arrive at the shore arrival location. When the distance from the boat body to the shore arrival location is equal to or less than the distance threshold, the controller generates an instruction signal based on the second environment information.
