Briefing boat guests will ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable aboard. If you are taking people out on your boat, a safety briefing is critical.
Summary
If you're taking guests out on your boat, one of the most important things you can do—before you ever leave the dock—is to give them a safety briefing. You'll want to cover anything they need to know to keep from being injured and to help them know what to do in an emergency.
Topics should include chain of command, safety gear, first aid and other emergency equipment. Hopefully, you'll never encounter an emergency. So don't forget to instruct guests on basic safety.
And you'll also want to cover everyone's role in mooring or docking. And make sure everyone stays hydrated and protected from the sun.
A good briefing isn't only about what you say. You'll also want to ask about your guests. Do they have any fears? Are they prone to seasickness? Do they have any health conditions you should know about?
Taking time for a good safety briefing will ensure everyone has a good time and stays safe.
