Simple Etiquette When Cruising In Yacht Charter

By Freida Michael


Going for a cruise trip means you will have to deal with boat crews as politely as you can. Even if they are the ones who are on the serving side, you have to do your part and give them the due respect they deserve. When it comes to the crewed yacht charter Oxnard, here are common etiquette you should pay close attention to.

First, you must greet the crew. They are the ones who will be serving you when you are in the cruise. It would be to your advantage to ask for their permission first before you actually board the cruiser. You must let them know that you have the desire to board. This is actually a polite thing you have to do when you are cruising.

When you are wearing your street shoes, know that you have to leave them behind before boarding this boat. You have to remove them and put them in dedicated shoe baskets. Removing your shoes allow you to prevent asphalt dirt to stain the white decks. It is also a way to avoid inflicting a hole into the deck.

Before departing from the docks, it is natural to be briefed with the safety tips you must follow when at sea. The pre-departure briefing is to ensure that everyone will stay safe even when the shore is already far off. You must listen to the briefing since they help keep you safe and even make your cruise more comfortable.

During boarding, you will be taught how to handle the basic systems on the boat. These systems include, but are not limited to, the electrical outlets, toilets, lights, water and showers, and such. Once you know how to handle the basic systems on the boat, you can avoid disrupting the daily work of the crew.

You might be chartering kids with you on the cruise. Just remember that chartering the kids does not mean you will have to treat the crew as babysitters. That is not included in their job description. They have their daily jobs to do so you have to pay attention to your own children. However, most of the crews are child-friendly so there should be no problem.

The saloon and the main living area are all community space. That is why it is important to keep an eye on you personal items while in there. Also, personal items like towels, hats, clothing, sunglasses, and toiletries should be kept in the cabin. If you go on the deck, you can bring them with you but put them in a small day pack.

When in the cruise, the one who sets the rules is the captain. The captain decides whether or not to go through with the cruise. They might say otherwise when the weather is not good or when there is time constraints. The captain will only suggest going out of the schedule for the cruise for your own safety.

It should be okay to dine ashore. The broker or the crew can arrange this for you. If you are planning to dine ashore, do not forget to treat the captain and the crew as well. Even if this is an optional thing to do, know that they will really appreciate this sweet gesture.
