A representative of the charter company should supply a checklist to carry out the yacht's acceptance inspection. The skipper will then thoroughly examine the yacht's condition, compare it to the list, and put a checkmark next to each item. This list includes all the boat's property.
The hull and bottom of the yacht should be examined separately for splits and scratches. Remember to mention all of them and take a photo.
The engine block, the engine, the sails, and the spars should be examined. It's important to ensure that everything is intact and in good repair, which will reassure and instill confidence in the crew.
The company's technical representative should provide instructions on using the control board, switching the water supply from one tank to the other, the safety system for the crew, checking the engine health together, etc.
