It's important during the check-in process to ensure that your yacht has every equipment you'll need on your charter trip, and that it's all in good condition. Here are some of the many things that are often overlooked but are important on your trip, so see to it that you check them during check-in.
• make sure you're satisfied with the cleaning of the boat, if not, you can request extra cleaning.
• find a spare blue propane bottle (often located under cockpit seats)
• check towels and bed sheets (one set of sheets, pillow cases, and one towel for each person per charter is typical)
• test the outboard engine on the stern rail (forward and reverse) and the check spare oil and gas in lazerette
• make sure the dinghy is inflated fully and is able to hold air well. If it leaks within 45 minutes, ask for repair
• see to it that you understand the operation of yacht engine start and stop, anchor windlass, and sails
• if your yacht has septic holding tanks, see to it that they're empty; sometimes they get clogged. To check if it's empty, simply bang the tank and you should hear a hollow sound.
• it's very important to take note where the fuse or anchor windlass breaker switch is (often in engine compartment or under the stern cabin beds near the battery terminals)
Before you leave the base...
• be sure to top off water tanks and bring yacht hose with fitting attachments
• check if your boat has shore power connection retrieve adapters/cable (not on all yachts)
• check if the yacht has a bow mooring line. When leaving the port, don't run over the mooring line that is under the yacht. See to it that it sinks prior to leaving the berth. Such line is tied to the pier for your retrieval when return.
