A marine propulsion system (100) includes at least two parallel propulsion devices (21, 22) that each generate forward and reverse thrusts, wherein the parallel propulsion devices (21, 22) are oriented such that their thrusts are parallel to one another, and at least one drive position sensor (44) configured to sense a drive angle (θ) of the parallel propulsion devices (21, 22). A lateral thruster (15) is configured to generate starboard and port thrust to propel the marine vessel (10). A user input device (40) is operable by a user to provide at least one of a lateral thrust command to command lateral movement of the marine vessel (10) and a rotational thrust command to command rotational movement of the marine vessel (10). A controller (34) is configured to control the parallel propulsion devices (21, 22) and the lateral thruster (15) based on the lateral steering input and/or the rotational steering input and the drive angle (θ) so as to provide the lateral movement and/or the rotational movement commanded by the user without controlling the drive angle (θ).
