Beginners Guide To Boat Charter

By: iBiza Joe

If you want to make your coastal or island vacation really special then hire a boat. You can make it a real day to remember. If you've never considered this before then make sure you consider the following points so that your dream day doesn't turn to a disaster.

If you have chartered a boat "bareboat" that means there's no crew on board and 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 boat love to guzzle back the diesel.

Take plenty of sun lotion the power of the sun is deceiving at sea and it's effects are not always noticed until you are back on dry land. The other side to that coin is that you can tan three times the speed at sea.

If you are going to have a swim off the boat it's a good idea to have a snorkel and goggles. Always check for jelly fish before diving in...and sharks if applicable....they tend to be quite bitey.

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.

Always tip the skipper or if you're going ashore for lunch invite him along.

That's all you need to know for now have fun and if it all goes well you should have a smashing day!
