8.6
Observing the surroundings during navigation
When on board the vessel, you should always be aware of your surroundings. Accidents
can occur very quickly, therefore you must never leave the vessel uncontrolled, especially
when the motor is running. When conducting the vessel, pay attention to what is
happening in front of the vessel and be ready to shut down the motors immediately. If an
unexpected event/accident occurs, shut down the motors IMMEDIATELY and call for help.
Moreover, pay attention to the passengers during the navigation, as they are your
responsibility. If any of the passengers fall into the water, shut down the motor
immediately and throw the person in the water a rescue ring or any other floating object.
8.7
Passengers safety
During the navigation, the passengers must ALWAYS be seated. Any large movements can
distract the driver, who is no longer fully aware of the surroundings and the safety of
everyone involved. In order to ensure bigger safety, the passengers should wear the life
jackets. Do not forget that you are not only in charge of your safety, but also the safety of
everyone around you.
8.8
Awareness and environment care
Disposal of waste
As for the land, the same regulations and moral ethics apply for the disposal of waste on
water. Therefore, we kindly ask you to collect the waste which gathered during the
navigation in the intended bags and to dispose of them after the completion of the
navigation into the designated containers in the marina or wherever you tie the vessel.
Throwing the waste over the deck would be very irresponsible and immoral. At the same
time we would like to remind you to collect the waste separately.
Noise
Some areas have specific regulations about noise, which you need to respect.
Nevertheless, it would be appropriate and polite not to cause too much noise with music,
hooting or screaming. Your vessel is not soundless, therefore try to create an appropriate
level of noise.
9 AFTER THE NAVIGATION
As for the time before and during the navigation, the time after the navigation requires
the application of some guidelines.
