Hi sailor! How can we help?

Once you've confirmed a new booking, it's time to prepare to welcome your renters/co-navigators! Preparing for their arrival, coordinating key handovers, offering a warm welcome, and sharing local information are all part of the rental experience on boatUnity.

• Preparing Your Boat: Ensure that your boat is in perfect condition to welcome your renters or co-navigators. Before their arrival, conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that everything is working correctly, from safety equipment to navigation gear. Make sure the boat is clean, tidy, and ready for adventure. Your renters will appreciate boarding a ship that's immaculate and ready to set sail.

• Arrival and Departure Coordination: Use our messaging system to finalize the details of your renters' arrival and departure. Let them know if they will be personally greeted or provide clear instructions on the location of the boat keys.

• Providing Essential Equipment: Anticipate your renters' needs by providing essential equipment for a hassle-free trip. Ensure there are enough life jackets for all passengers and that you have all the necessary safety equipment. If you offer specific onboard activities like snorkeling or fishing, make sure the corresponding equipment is in good working condition.

• Clear Instructions and Information: To make your renters' lives easier, prepare a comprehensive instruction manual. This should include information on how to operate the onboard equipment, safety procedures, recommended itineraries, and emergency contact numbers. Ensure that your renters have access to up-to-date navigation charts and local weather information so they can plan their trip safely.

• Hospitality Gestures: To make the rental experience memorable, think about the little details. Consider providing leisure equipment, such as board games or snorkeling gear, if it fits the atmosphere of your boat. A welcome basket with refreshments, local snacks, or a bottle of wine can also be a highly appreciated gesture. A personalized welcome note will show your renters that you're delighted to have them on board.

• Availability and Assistance: If the boat is rented without a captain (without you), stay in touch with your renters. Ensure they have your contact information and reassure them that they can reach out if needed. Be prepared to answer their questions or assist them in case of any issues. If you have a support or maintenance team, make sure your renters also have their contact information for quick assistance.

By following these steps, you'll provide your renters with an exceptional experience aboard your boat. Not only will this encourage them to return, but they'll also share positive reviews, further enhancing your reputation on boatUnity.
