Boat Charter Newbe Advice
Vacations can become "times of your life" when you get aboard a boat. It can be a day to remember if it goes well. You will need to follow some simple rules to avoid problems. Here are a few basic tips to make your day trouble free.
If you have chartered a boat "bareboat" that means there's no crew on board. If you have not got the necessary paper work you will need to hire a fully qualified skipper. Often the charter company can organise this for you.
Fuel is not normally included in the price of a charter. It will be charged to you as an extra at the end of the trip. Something to think about as boats love to guzzle back the diesel.
The effects of the sun are up to three times as powerful at sea as on land. Make sure you take a hat and some sun block. The ladies might like to know you can tan three times the normal speed at sea.
Make sure you take snorkel and goggles there's nothing like diving in off a boat into turquoise waters. Always check for jelly fish before jumping in.
Always listen to the safety warnings at the start of the journey. Children must always be supervised and in life jackets. You may consider weather you should take younger children at all.
It's tradition to tip the skipper at the end of a trip or if you are lunching ashore it's often a good idea to invite the skipper along, he might have some great sea stories to share with you.
That's all you need to know for now have fun and have a smashing day! - 18423
