Check-in Process
The check-in process for your Seayott boat booking is designed to be smooth and straightforward. Understanding the process beforehand ensures you can start your maritime adventure without delays.
Before You Arrive
Contact your boat owner 24-48 hours before your check-in date to confirm arrival details and any last-minute instructions. Many owners provide specific directions to the marina or dock location along with parking information.
Review your booking confirmation for check-in time, typically between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, though this can vary by owner. Arriving early may not always be possible due to previous bookings or cleaning schedules.
Always bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any boating licenses or certifications required for your rental.
What to Bring
Ensure you have your booking confirmation (digital or printed), valid identification, and any required boating certifications. Some rentals may require additional documentation such as proof of boating experience or insurance.
Pack according to the boat's amenities and your planned activities. Most owners provide a pre-arrival checklist detailing what's included and what you should bring for your specific vessel.
Meeting Your Host
Your boat owner will typically meet you at the designated location for a personal handover. This usually takes 30-45 minutes and includes a thorough walkthrough of the vessel's systems, safety equipment, and operational procedures.
During the walkthrough, ask questions about local navigation, weather conditions, recommended routes, and emergency procedures. This is also when you'll review the boat's condition and complete any inspection forms.
Safety Briefing
Every check-in includes a mandatory safety briefing covering life jacket locations, emergency procedures, radio operation, and local maritime regulations. Pay close attention as this information is crucial for your safety on the water.
Your host will demonstrate key systems like navigation equipment, bilge pumps, engine operation, and anchor handling. Don't hesitate to ask for demonstrations to be repeated if needed.
