The boat in the slip next to mine is a day charter/tour boat...
In Response To: About to captain a charter... ()

Actually two boats use the slip. One is inspected and rated for 21 passengers and the other in unimspected and carries a maximum of six passengers. I have heard their spiel many times. Basically they tell the people where the life jackets are and how to put one on. They also advise people to be careful when walking around the boat and not to leave the cockpit withoput the permission of the captain. They also mention the boat facilities and point out that they have blankets/extra jackets below if people get cold. Other than that there isn't much to it. If the boat is uninspected they require young chilren to wear life jackets. They do not require young children to wear life jackets on the inspected boat
