By Barbara Fox


Boat charter businesses do well in the United States especially in areas known for their access to oceans. It is because of the marine sightseeing, fishing and other water activities that make boat rentals in Bermuda to flourish. It is a trade that comes with a lot of duties; you have to develop an idea of action for your service to clients and at the same time cover your assets.

Develop a proposal for the business that will point out the objective of your business. It should feature the structure of supervision, the facilities, cashier services, finance application, market evaluation and goals to be achieved in the long run. A detailed blueprint will lure financial backers and is a good start for your business to grow. Analyze your competition so that you know how to get your fraction of the market share.

Make requests for the legal documentations you need to run such a business in Bermuda. Getting a boat charter businesses running require you to have an authorization and a tax number. Those charter cruisers that will offer drinks and food on board will have to obtain the relevant permits needed for such services. A liability insurance will be required by all rental boat owners.

Plan one or two packages that will appeal to your potential customers. At this moment, have a clear choice as to where to venture. It may be areas within the Bermuda region or it can be waters outside your trade region. If there is likelihood that you will offer your clients food and beverage, it is critical to be equipped with the relevant valid license.

Decide on whether to lease or purchase a boat. Hiring one is less expensive. Furthermore, you will have a variety of them to choose from. You would need a sturdy vessel that can be able to accommodate its capacity and which has the right amenities like coolers and toilets. Sightseeing yachts should have plenty of seating. All cruisers should have safety gear; life vests, fire extinguishers and life rafts.

Look for sponsors to help you with the money that you need in case your start up budget was too small. Starting up a craft charter venture is very expensive because there is a wide range of important issues to look into that need money. These include; getting water vessels and operational costs which really drain your account.

Apart from the safety gear that you need to install in your rental boats, you also need to stock it with the appropriate kits specific to the activities that the passengers will be involved in. Snorkel liners will have to be fitted with diving equipment with a deck hammock for those who will not get into the water. Fishing ships should have fishing equipment just like sightseeing charters need binoculars.

After doing the initial startup procedures, you should then think of promoting the company. Link with the marine supply in the region so that you may be able to have a commendation system that will make your business known far and beyond. Then develop a website with full video footage of sighted marine animals. You may also connect to your friends in the marine tourism industry to support you in the marketing.
