The apparatus is comprised of a first coupling assembly which is secured to a first floatable vessel. The coupling assembly includes at least one bearing member which has opposed, substantially vertical bearing surfaces. A second coupling assembly is secured to a second floatable vessel. The second coupling assembly includes a gripping unit having gripping surfaces for frictionally and generally non-resiliently engaging the bearing surfaces. The gripping unit is comprised of first and second gripping members. The first gripping member has a surface which is engageable with one of the bearing surfaces and the second gripping member has a surface which is engageable with the other of the bearing surfaces. The bearing member is gripped between the first and second gripping members. The first gripping member is mounted for movement in a direction generally transverse to the bearing surfaces.
