Self-drive boat hire is the best way to experience calm and quiet lake life. If you would like to hire a boat for a day and it's your first time, maybe you'll feel stressed. But don't worry! We are here to help! We give you some valuable tips and tricks that will make your first self-drive boat hire trip a fun experience.
Before you start the trip
1. Be prepared for the booking.
2. Make sure that you and your guests arrive on time for the booking.
3. Be attentive during the safety briefing and follow our boat hire instructions.
4. Clear all the doubts, if any. The staff is here to help and to ensure you have a safe and successful boat hire
After you are on-board
1. Keep it safe: Spend some time perusing the Boating Safety Guide before you shove off the dock.
2. Move slow: Move slow(until you get the hang of it) and anticipate what's ahead. You're always going to encounter some obstacle: a boat, a lock, etc. The best way to prepare is to take hold of the map and study the route at the start of your trip.
3. Life jackets for everyone: Pick out comfortable life jackets, not because they're the cheapest option available.
4. Slow down for waves: Remember that wave impacts are often worse for the passengers than for the captain. So if you're running the boat and you feel a thump, other people aboard may have felt a slam or a bang.
5. If you are planning a day trip, protect yourself from the sun! The sun is more powerful as it is reflected on the water, and nothing will ruin your boat rental more than a painful sunburn.
6.Do not overpack: Bring only the essentials on your Self Drive Boat Hire and don't use up all your relaxation space.
7. Do not under pack the essentials: It is a good idea to pack extra water, extra non-perishable snacks and extra hats or towels.
