Boat Guest Etiquette - Don't do this when invited aboard a friend's yacht

by Erin Carey 20 Aug 2020 04:59 BST

There are few things as enjoyable as spending the day aboard a friend's boat. Sunshine, drinks, music and swimming all spring to mind. But have you ever taken the time to consider the correct etiquette for such an event?

It may sound extreme, but boat owners are a particular bunch, and sometimes simple things such as not bringing your own towel or beverages, can be enough to leave a sour taste in the Captain's mouth.

Having recently set off from the west coast of America, The Expedition Family of seven, have made a hilariously entertaining, yet extremely informative video about the 10 things you should never do if invited aboard someone else’s boat.

Interestingly enough, this is not the first time in front of a camera for Trevor and Caci’s eldest son Jace, who stars in the lead role of the Netflix show, The Healing Powers of Dude. For more information about them, head to The Expedition Family.
