Respecting capacity
Every boat has a maximum legal capacity, which applies to the number of people on board, crew included. It is not negotiable: it should guide your choice of boat from the outset.
The safety briefing
The crew explains the essential instructions: the location of safety equipment, movement around the boat, exits. This moment is brief but essential, and is best scheduled at the start of the evening.
Good practice for organisers
- Tell guests the rules for moving around on deck
- Make sure alcohol is consumed responsibly
- Arrange assistance for children and people with reduced mobility
Suppliers on board
Any equipment brought on board (sound system, lighting, decoration) must comply with the boat's rules. Have everything approved in advance, particularly anything involving electricity, flames or smoke.
