Those who are going to rent a yacht and go on a sea voyage should learn about the basic rules of behavior on the boards. Some things are fairly obvious and generally accepted, but some may really surprise you.

Knowing the rules of behavior and yacht etiquette will help you not only avoid additional financial costs, but also return from a cruise with only pleasant impressions and memories.

However, if you want to "freak out", be sure to try one or more proven ways to do this.

1. Be sure to use the latrine (toilet) while standing.

The average intensity of pitching will immediately make you understand why this is a mistake. And if you throw any object into the toilet, which will clog the ship's sewage system, you are guaranteed to become a legend for all passengers!

2. Hang your laundry on deck.

Drying things on deck is not a good idea, simply because a gusty wind will surely take them to the sea. And it will do it quickly and inevitably.

3. Jump on the deck of the yacht anywhere.

Jumping on the deck is not recommended for two reasons - you run the risk of getting hurt, and besides, other passengers may be under you, they will not like it.

4. Remember barefoot childhood.

Walking barefoot on the deck is generally prohibited, unless, of course, the yacht is your personal property. There are special yacht shoes for this. It must be without a heel and leave no marks.

5. Leave the doors to the cabin and other rooms open.

Due to the pitching, it will surely hit one of the passengers, and maybe you. The same applies to all furniture on the yacht; an unclosed door is a source of problems.

6. Try to show the captain the focus with swallowing a sword or juggle with knives.

When handling knives, scissors and other piercing and cutting objects, you must be extremely careful - pitching can play a bad joke with you.

7. You can wash the cabin floor with drinking water twice a day.

No, you should abandon the habit of uncontrolled spending drinking water on a ship, because its stock is limited to a certain amount.

8. The boy and the wolves.

If "something went wrong" or you suspect that something bad or dangerous might happen, you must immediately inform the captain of the vessel. "Panic on the ship" - not good!

9. Try to become a hero!

If someone or something suddenly turned out to be outboard, no need to dive after it headlong. If you don't have special training, the ship's team will have to save you as well.

10. If you like telephone prank, relaxing on a yacht for you is a great chance to show yourself.

Going on the radio without the need is a real chance to get problems. This is especially true of the coast guard's false concern - a substantial fine for pampering on the air will be provided to you!

11. Hey dude, let me steer!

Distracting the skipper during difficult maneuvers is strictly prohibited. Accidents at sea are less common than on land, but they are real and nobody need it.

12. All that is superfluous is overboard.

Throwing garbage overboard is a very good idea if you have a substantial excess for such pranks. Fines for garbage disposal can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars.

... now you are ready to sail!
