This is one of the most private, simple and exciting methods of traveling. Being on the water creates the spirit of adventure and is one of the best ways to start your holiday, however it is important to be prepared in case you choose water as your means of transport, below are useful tips.

    Nothing should be left hanging or loose, especially if it is something that can damage the vessel you are traveling in. Everything should be well secured no matter the travelling distance. Even if the distance is short, ensure you have prepared if you are travelling across deep waters. Double check everything to ensure that it is in place.

    In case you will be carrying valuable vessels during the voyage, make certain that the transportation company that is offering you the boat has insurance. Understand the terms and conditions of the voyage insurance. It should be able to protect all the members in the boat and your vessel in case something unexpected happens. If the terms are not friendly, choose another transportation company that caters for your needs.

    Book in advance, inform the company of how many people are in your travel party and how many bags will be brought on board. This makes it possible for the company to prepare for you and ensure that they have not overloaded this boat. Read about the displacement of any boat stability book, so that you can comprehend the importance of weighing everything that goes to a boat.

    Inspect the condition of this boat with the company. Do not just rush of cruising and enjoying while you have not inspected the condition of any boat to be used. Make certain that it is safe for transportation and any damages that the company has noted it, so that you do not end up paying for something you did not cause.

    Use shrink-wrap to protect the outside part of a boat from salt and soot or any other thing that might damage it. In case the boat you are cruising in is too large to have it completely covered, just cover the areas that are most valuable. Any metallic part should be covered or an insulator wax applied.

    While sailing ensures that, the ship you are using is light. Fuel and water tanks should be emptied as much as possible. In any case, ensure that you have enough that will take you to your destination. Anchors should be removed from the deck, drain plus and water in the bilge. Ensure that the tank is clean and sanitizes by using bleach solution that is made of chlorine.

Ensure that your phone is charged and that you have powered down everything in the boat.
