keyboard_arrow_down
• Inspect the boat thoroughly for damages and document them.
• Use a checklist to review key points: sails, anchor winch, gas bottles, bathing platform, dinghy, bedding, cleanliness, batteries, electronics, water level, navigation equipment, engine, sanitation, tools, and pantry.
• Conduct a safety check: Ensure life raft, life jackets, fire extinguisher, and distress signals are onboard and functional.
• It’s helpful to have another person join the check-in process (4-eye principle).
• Avoid mentioning deposit insurance to prevent misunderstandings.
• Take note of the service personnel’s phone number for questions or issues during the trip.
• Familiarize the crew with safety equipment and key operations before setting off.
