The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vessel steering apparatus capable of performing position determination control in response to the inertial force of the vessel or the influence of a disturbance. For a vessel steering apparatus (7) for performing a movement control to move a vessel (100) to a target position on the basis of a signal of a GPS apparatus (13), a movement control stop area A1, a buffer area B1 adjacent to the movement control stop area A1, and a movement-controlling area C1 adjacent to the buffer area B1 are set on the basis of the distance L(n) from the target position, wherein in the movement control stop area A1, thrust generation by a propulsion apparatus of the vessel (100) for movement control is stopped; in the movement-controlling area C1, thrust is generated by the propulsion apparatus of the vessel (100) for movement control; and in the buffer area B1, thrust is generated by the propulsion apparatus of the vessel (100) for movement control only in the case where the vessel (100) moves from the movement-controlling area C1 to the buffer area B1, then stays in the buffer area B1, and moves in a direction away from the target position. |
