Safety Tips for Yacht Trips

Being on a yacht trip to explore and see the wonders of the amazing city of Dubai is bound to be a joyful experience. It’s one of the enjoyable ways of exploring waterways. But when you are on a yacht trip, you should always prioritise the safety of yourself and your loved ones. In this post, we will talk about some safety tips one must follow before setting sail on rental yachts of Royal Blue Coast across the Dubai Marina. 

The first and foremost thing is to follow the rules of waterway navigation. The yacht must maintain a safe speed throughout the journey. The driver’s ability, current visibility, boat traffic, depth of the water and the weather conditions should always be kept in mind. Also, other vessels, submerged objects and shallow water areas should also be looked out for all the time. Being alert and watching for signs of turbulence or bad weather is crucial while being on board. 

Life jackets for every person should be present onboard. Ensure that the safety gear and equipment is easily reachable when they are needed in emergency situations. It is always advisable to have two people on board who look out for the safety of the yacht by being vigilant. It is mandatory for the driver to not consume drugs or alcohol while onboard. The yacht should also come equipped with searchlights for better visibility in the dark and turbulent times. Other equipment like fire extinguishers and means for two-way radio communication should also be available onboard.

 If all the above factors are taken into consideration and implemented, then the people on board will have a great time and will enjoy cruising. If you are on the lookout for rental yacht packages in Dubai, then contact our staff at Royal Blue Coast and be prepared to set sail!
