What should I do in case of emergency situations on the water? (Emergency services, security measures, insurance)

So, you have rented a luxury yacht, the sun is gently warming, a glass of champagne is bubbling playfully… Beauty! But what if suddenly this idyll is disrupted? Don’t panic!

We have prepared a little guide for you in case your boat trip takes an unexpected turn. Let’s look at how to deal with troubles without losing your good mood.

Before you set sail:

Before rushing into the embrace of the sea element, make sure that you are familiar with the basic safety rules. These are not boring instructions, but your insurance against trouble! The yacht rental service will definitely give instructions, but extra knowledge has not harmed anyone yet.

Check the operability of all equipment — from the radio station to the life jackets. Do not forget about the first aid kit, sunscreen and enough water.

SOS! What should I do in an emergency?

If something went wrong. Don’t panic! Take a deep breath, take a deep breath… And then proceed according to the plan:

• Communication: Your first action is to contact the emergency services. Remember the Coast Guard number and have a well-functioning radio station at hand! (Check its charging before sailing!). Describe the situation clearly and briefly, specify your location. In maritime matters, accuracy is beyond praise.

• Life jackets: If the situation is really critical, do not hesitate and put on life jackets! It seems trivial, but not everyone follows it.

• Other measures: Depending on the situation, other measures may be required – calling a tugboat, attempting self-repair (if your knowledge allows), organizing temporary shelter from the weather.

Insurance is your reliable airbag

Be sure to take out insurance before renting a yacht! We recommend that you do this through our service so that you can be sure of the reliability of the coverage. Insurance is not a waste of money, but your guarantee that you will be able to have fun quietly and not think about unforeseen expenses.

What should I do if something is broken?

Of course, breakdowns cannot be predicted. Did the glass break? Did you run out of champagne? Or has your partner suddenly discovered a fear of deep water? Don’t get upset! Just contact the crew or the rental service. We will help you solve any problems that you may encounter during your vacation.

In conclusion:

Sailing is a unique experience, but it is important to keep in mind the safety measures. Following simple rules, timely communication and reliable insurance will help you avoid trouble and focus on enjoying a boat trip. And, remember, a good mood is the best cure for all troubles!

And our service is always ready to help you! So go on a journey and don’t forget to enjoy every moment! Happy sailing!
