How to do an Effective Check-in on the Boat Yacht

Your sailing holiday has finally started! But, wait, because before starting your relaxing week, you still have to fulfil your last duty: do an effective check-in and boat inventory. We know that at this point you just would like to set sail, but a careful check-in on the boat is essential for a safe yacht charter and to avoid any unpleasant surprises after leaving the marina. A boat is a sophisticated watercraft, and you should know all its features and equipment of both the interior and the exterior. Before embarking, you should become familiar with everything in order to have stress-free sailing experience, to prevent any damage on the boat, and to be sure that everything works properly.

Boats are often delivered between 5 and 6 pm because the charter companies have only a few hours to clean all the boats of their fleet returned by the previous charterers. Furthermore, they have to carry out the necessary checks and routine maintenance operations. If the previous customer has damaged the boat, extraordinary maintenance operations must also be resolved. Usually, there is the possibility to do an early check-in. You should ask your agent if the owner provides this service and if yes, it has to be paid as an extra.
