Abstract: In automatic watercraft piloting system, a control unit computes a plurality of first routes from a current position to a target position that avoid any obstacle that may exist between the current position and the target position, computes a second route for each of the first routes that the watercraft is predicted to travel when the propulsion device and the steering device are controlled by the control unit so as to follow the particular first route under an interference identified by an obstacle identification device, select one of the second routes that brings the watercraft to a spot nearest to the target position as an optimum route, and control the propulsion device and the steering device so as to cause the watercraft to progress along the first route that corresponds to the optimum route in absence of the interference.
