T & C's
Your
contribution is for an equal share of the running costs
and maintenance of the boat for the duration of the trip
-
fuel, licence
and slipway fees, insurance, transport of the boat to the
water (cheaper than mooring fees!),
etc.
Lunch
and other
costs are at your own expense.
I
want to be absolutely transparent about the estimated
costs and your contribution. This is my own private boat
- not for profit.
 The
Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) issue codes
of practice relating to
commercially operated craft - if I were to receive
payment for anything other than a contribution
to the operting costs then I would be required
to certify as a commercial operator. I have checked
carefully with the MCA and my insurance company
to ensure I can seek new friends and share the
running costs without changing the classification
from Private Pleasure Vessel. They have confirmed
I can and that it is a generally accepted practice
when seeking crew.
Crucially,
costs can only be estimated in advance. The actual
costs
and suggested contribution will not be known until
after the event. Contributions can not be taken in
advance or this would constitute a fare. My
boat is purely a private pleasure craft for
use by my family and friends. I'm seeking new friends to
come along, enjoy some time on the water and chip
in with the running costs for the day.

Safety
is paramount and SKIPPER’S
DECISIONS ARE FINAL. For safety, I shall take
any action I consider fit for the well being of the vessel
and crew.
(This doesn't include important decisions like deciding
when to break open the picnic and which pubs to stop at)
WEATHER
will be constantly reviewed, particularly for coastal cruises,
and the trip may be postponed or cancelled as appropriate.
