163. Passenger Safety Briefings: A Professional Charter Standard
Why Safety Briefings Matter
Professional charter operations begin with a clear passenger safety briefing. Even experienced boaters benefit from understanding vessel layout and emergency procedures.
A typical safety briefing covers:
- Location of life jackets
- Emergency radio usage
- Fire extinguisher location
- Man overboard procedures
- Boarding and disembarking safety
These briefings are recommended by the U.S. Coast Guard Office of Boating Safety.
