CYOA Provided Sailing Guide Agreement
CYOA provides experienced mature Sailing Guides at your request, or if we have deemed it necessary. All CYOA Sailing Guides are carefully screened.

A Sailing Guide will make your charter more relaxing and more interesting for inexperienced as well as experienced crews. The Sailing Guide is paid to familiarize you with your chartered boat and determine that you are capable of proceeding without them or, if engaged for a longer time period, to sail the
boat for you or assist you with the sailing chores. The Sailing Guide is not a cook, maid or babysitter, but, you can expect our guides to pitch in as a member of the crew.

A few guidelines:
 The guide must have their own private sleeping cabin.
 The guide must be provided with provisions while on board. If you choose to go ashore for a meal you are not expected to take the guide (although most do so) but a meal must be provided for.
 Return the guide to the original departure point if he is not onboard for the entire charter. This means taxi and/or ferry fare.
 Guides rely on gratuities for a substantial portion of their earnings. It is customary and appreciated to receive a gratuity of $50 to $100 per day depending on the size of the vessel, number of persons on board and the level of service provided.
 The security deposit you paid upon boarding lowers your exposure for the uninsured portion of the vessel and inventory. Even though a Sailing Guide is aboard the general condition of the vessel and any inventory losses are your responsibility. You are not responsible if the guide directly causes loss or damage. You are responsible if you fail to heed his advice, suggestions or specific instructions and loss or damage occurs.
 The guide is not permitted to allow the tender to be operated by minor children or adults that have not been successfully checked out on the safe and sensible use of the tender and outboard engine. At no time are minor children allowed to operate the tender at speed (on a plane) unless accompanied by their parent or guardian.

Please indicate that you have read this sheet and that you accept these guidelines by completing the spaces below.
