One of the top priorities when sailing is safety. At Coral Yachting, our commitment is clear: to ensure that our clients enjoy an unforgettable experience at sea, always with the peace of mind of being in expert hands. For this reason, we have the best team of professionals, from experienced skippers to a highly trained crew, so that each crossing is completely safe and worry-free. Take note of these tips to ensure that your motor boating trip is as safe as it is enjoyable:
1. Know your boat well
Before setting sail, it is important to familiarise yourself with the characteristics of your boat. Our team will always give you a detailed explanation of the basic functions of the engine, navigation systems and safety equipment on board. Because even if you are accompanied by a professional skipper, knowing some of the essentials can make you feel safer and more confident.
2. Check the safety equipment
All our boats are equipped with the required safety equipment, such as life jackets, flares and fire extinguishers. Make sure everyone on board knows where they are and how to use them. In the event of an emergency, a quick response can make all the difference.
3. Weather forecast
Sea conditions can change quickly. Our skippers always check the weather forecast before setting off, but it is advisable to be informed about the weather forecast during your trip. If you see conditions worsen, don't hesitate to let the skipper know so that he/she can assess the best decision.
4. Maintain good communication
Communication is key on any boat trip. Our team will always be in contact with you during the trip to make sure everything is under control. In addition, all our boats are equipped with radios to communicate with the shore or other boats in case of any eventuality.
5. Respect speed limits and navigation rules.
The Mediterranean is an amazing place to sail, but it is also essential to respect maritime safety rules. Our skippers are well aware of local regulations, restricted areas and permitted speeds. However, it is important that as a passenger you are aware that respecting these rules not only ensures your safety, but also the safety of everyone else enjoying the sea.
6. Stay hydrated and protected from the sun
Spending a whole day in the sun can be more exhausting than it sounds. Wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and light clothing is essential to avoid sunburn or sunstroke. Also, remember to drink water regularly, especially on hotter days.
7. Trust the crew
One of the biggest advantages of sailing with Coral Yachting is the peace of mind that comes from having a professional team on board. Our skippers and crew have years of experience and are prepared to handle any situation that may arise. Trust them so that your only concern is to enjoy the day, we assure you that you will have an unforgettable, safe and smooth experience.
