Boat Charter Top Tips

By: iBiza Joe

There's no better way to make a holiday special than a boat charter. If it goes well it can be a magical day out but it also can be a disaster so here's some basic tips to help make your day at sea fantastic.

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.

If you've opted for a power boat then you will need to take into account that the fuel is normally on top of the charter fee so if you've hired a gas guzzleing speed boat be aware.

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.

Snorkel and goggles are a must if you are going to moor up and take a dip in the sea. They're great for spotting jelly fish before it's too late [a problem in the Med] or sharks [in other seas]

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.

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. It's normal practice to tip the skipper at the end of the trip.

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