Top Tips For First Time Boat Charter
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.
If you've opted for a power boat then you will need to take into account that the fuel is normally charged as an extra on top of the charter fee.
You can tan three times the speed at sea. But you have to be careful not to burn. Take lotion and a hat. You often don't feel the effects of the sun until you have reached land at the end of the day and then it's too late!
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.
When the weather is bad you will be required to wear a life jacket, especially if you can't swim. It's advisable for children to wear them all the times. Some boats will not be suitable for really young children. Always take the skippers advice and listen to his safety speech at the start of the journey.
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! - 18762
