If you want to make your coastal or island vacation really special then hire a boat. You can make it a real day to remember. If you've never considered this before then make sure you consider the following points so that your dream day doesn't turn to a disaster.
If you have chartered a "bareboat" it means you do not have anyone to sail it for you. If you don't have the minimum qualification yourself you will need to hire a skipper if necessary crew. Check with you charter company who may be able to organise some salty sea dogs for you.
Fuel is not normally included in the price of a charter. It will be charged to you as an extra at the end of the trip. Something to think about as boats love to guzzle back the diesel.
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.
It's tradition to tip the skipper at the end of a trip or 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.
That's it! Have fun it should be one of the best days of your holiday!
