As with all activities on the water being aware of potential dangers goes a long way to preventing them, these are some of the things to consider;

Always make sure there is adequate fuel available. The 2 stroke outboard motor uses a mixture of gasoline and oil mixed at a ratio of 100 parts gas to 1 part oil. You will be provided with a full tank of fuel premixed at the start of your charter. If you need to purchase more add the required amount of oil into the fuel tank and mix thoroughly.

Make sure you have life jackets on board for the full number of passengers and ensure that children and non swimmers wear them.

Do not overload the tender, it is safer to make two trips than to squeeze too many in at one time.

Always wear the kill switch attached to your wrist when operating the tender under power.

Make sure who ever is driving the tender has a clear view of the surrounding water, proceeds at an appropriate speed and adheres to speed limits and no wake zones.

Do not leave children in the tender unattended or unsupervised.

Do not untie the tender from the yacht or the dock before starting and warming up the engine.

Do not have the motor in gear when in the vicinity of swimmers, snorkelers or SCUBA divers.
