The rental of a boat, depending on the power of the engine installed on it, its dimensions and other requirements, is carried out both with and without a license, as well as resorting to the services of a third-party Skipper.
Without a license - If the sea vessel you lease does not require a license to go to sea, you will be met by a representative of the rental company at the agreed time before the start of the lease and will give you a short instruction on how to operate the boat. After making sure that you fully understand the principles and requirements of ship management, as well as the requirements of safety measures, you will be admitted to its management;
License - if you are renting a vessel that requires a license to sail and operate this vessel, then you will need to present this certificate upon receipt of the vessel for hire at the counter of the rental company. The license will be verified to meet the management requirements of the vessel and you will be admitted to the rental.
In the absence of this license, or for any reason why you cannot present it upon receipt of the rental vessel, the rental company has the right to refuse you to receive the vessel.
Skipper | Captain - a number of rented vessels (see the conditions and descriptions of each vessel separately) come with or without a captain (Skipper). According to various requirements of the rental companies, the captain may already be included in the rental price or his services may be paid separately.
