Yeah how many ?

I say it depends on the island that you're on.

Docks are good in that they can generate trade income. More docks mean more profits if you can take profitable contracts.

Docks take workers and take up space so there is a practical limit. In the Sceanrio playthrough that I'm currently running I have 12 docks on Cayo Fortuna in 1995. That gives me 24 trade routes with all the improvements possible. I've left the two northern beach areas clear of docks so as to concentrate on Tourism.

Alright thanks ! Im new so I don't really know how many docks do i need ! and im not sure maybe i have too many docks maybe i cant produce enough so extra 2 docks would be useless

If you want to be really sucessful with this game you could do worse than watching a You-tube series that was done by Skey Storme. While the whole series is interesting, I'd call special attention to his first tips and the economic charts he shares at https://youtu.be/U3_87taLyp8?t=36s

Also watch Pinstar's Colonial Era housing tip https://youtu.be/NFVg7tDLpwU?list=PLrmmPKYXqaFZsJAgat_4yvSz77cdKRY-G

Pinstars Crop Circle video is worth checking out as well. The sugar tip is great https://youtu.be/Rd5Lzx2C99M?list=PLrmmPKYXqaFZsJAgat_4yvSz77cdKRY-G

All of Pinstars tips are good (if you can stand to listen to his somewhat irritating voice)
