What to Do & What Not to Do on a Chartered Yacht

So, you’ve been waiting in anticipation for the day of your yacht charter and it’s finally arrived. You and your buddies run onboard, ready for an incredible day living it up on the water. However, there are just a few things to keep in mind that will ensure that your experience is a memorable one – for all the right reasons. Whether it’s a birthday party, an all-day fishing charter or perhaps a corporate get together, always maintain your awareness and composure onboard a yacht. Be careful consuming excessive amounts of alcohol and don’t stray into the water on your own.

What to Do

Yacht rental Dubai has become increasingly popular for travelers and residents alike. However, when you board any type of vessel, it’s crucial that you know what to do if you get into any trouble on the water. This begins the first rule – only use a trusted operator of chartered trips – one that has a reputable safety record. You should know where life vests and all safety equipment are kept if you do run into any trouble. If you’re planning on getting into the water, only do so if you’re a competent swimmer and always make sure you swim with at least one other person. And keep your alcohol intake to a reasonable amount if you are planning on spending some time in the water. Look after your mates and avoid dangerous activities – such as jumping from considerable heights into the water. And always follow the staff’s safety instructions when on board.

What Not to Do

When you’re on a chartered yacht, it’s imperative that you follow all safety instructions. Don’t ignore what is being said to you by staff and believe that ‘your way is the best way’ – no matter how experienced you are on the water. Don’t consumer heavy amounts of alcohol and then get in the water. This is a recipe for disaster, as alcohol severely impedes your senses and muscle function. And don’t go swimming on your own. Or for that matter, doing any water activities on your own. Always take one of your buddies with you to keep an eye on each other. It’s also important to select an operator with an excellent safety record. Don’t select the cheapest operator just because they have a generic ‘deal of the month’. And don’t listen to operators that try to tell you that safety isn’t that important. Your safety and that of your family and friends should always remain your top priority.
