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 "bareboat" it means you do not have anyone to sail it for you. If you don't have the minimum qualification yourself you will need to hire a skipper if necessary crew. Check with you charter company who may be able to organise some salty sea dogs 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.
The safety warning are usually recited at the start of the trip and they are worth listening to. Children must wear life jackets at all times. Adults are normally only required to wear them if they can't swim or in bad weather.
It's a nice idea to tip the skipper and if you're going ashore for a meal ask him along you'll often get some good sea tales out of him. It's normal practice to tip the skipper at the end of the trip.
That's it! Have fun it should be one of the best days of your holiday! - 18418
