This manuscript mainly solves a fully actuated marine surface vessel prescribed performance trajectory tracking control problem with full-state constraints and input saturation. The entire control design process is based on a backstepping technique. The prescribed performance control is introduced to embody the analytical relationship between the transient performance and steady-state performance of the system and the parameters. Meanwhile, a new finite time performance function is introduced to ensure that the performance of the system tracking error is constrained within the preset constraints in finite time, and the full-state constraints problem of the system can be solved simultaneously in the entire control design, at the same time without introducing additional theory and parameters. To solve the non-smooth input saturation function matrix is not differentiable, the smooth function matrix is introduced to replace the non-smooth characteristics. Combining the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse matrix to design the virtual control law, the dynamic surface control is introduced to avoid the complicated virtual control derivation process, and finally the actual control law is designed using the properties of Nussbaum function. In addition, in view of the uncertainties in the system, a fractional disturbance observer is designed to estimate it. With the proposed control, the full-state will never be violated constraints, and the system tracking error satisfies transient and steady-state performance. Compared with other methods, the simulation results show the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.
