I really think they have enough experience and have to just cut the lines and go for it


This is very difficult to say from a distance :-)

Beside this I think it is very useful to practice a little bit when you are on a boat which is new for you/you are not used to. Strong side winds while docking in a narrow harbor e.g. can be very challenging especially on a charter boat when your not used to a boat as owners are. Why not practicing a little bit before starting the trip :-)
