With these boating rules you go safely out on the water
When you go out to open water with your yacht, it gives you confidence if you have mastered the boating rules. Moreover, the safety of yourself, your companions and other water sport enthusiasts is the most important thing. Because boating is something you do together. With the following checklist you can enjoy carefree cruising with your motor yacht.
The boating rules explained:
Start by treating other water sports enthusiasts with respect;
Cruise on the starboard side, so you give oncoming vessels the space they need;
Clearly show which course you are following. Is it getting dark? Then use the navigation lights.
On a busy waterway, it is important to keep the middle clear for large ships;
Look as far ahead as possible, but also keep a regular eye on the area next to you and behind you.
Match your course and speed to the other vessels around you.
Be alert to waves or the suction effect of large ships.
Only anchor in safe places and avoid disturbance.
Only take a refreshing dive in places where it is permitted and safe.
Stay away from fishing nets. They can damage the propellers. Fishing nets are usually marked with black or yellow flags.
Have you consumed alcohol? Then you may only use the boat up to a blood alcohol level of 0.5.
You need a license for a motorboat that is longer than 15 meters and can go faster than 20 km/hr.
