TOYS
Using toys can potentially be dangerous and care should be taken to ensure that those using them are suitably trained/qualified (if applicable), the manufacturer’s instructions are followed and correct insurance is in place. In some jurisdictions, the use of particular toys, typically jet skis, is governed by specific laws and regulations. JET SKIS Jet skis are a very popular toy on superyachts. Care should be taken to abide by the relevant rules and regulations in place in the jurisdiction of use and limit when, where and how jet skis can be used.
In Italy, Croatia, and the Canary Islands, for example, the driver of a jet ski must be over 18 years old and have a licence and in Italy, only licences issued by a European country are accepted by the Italian Coastguard. In Malta, Spain, and Italy, certain distances between the jet ski and the shore or other watercraft must be maintained. Additional byelaws apply to the Balearic Islands and along some coast lines of Italy and it is therefore important to check the specific rules for the region in which the jet ski will be operated.
INFLATABLE WATER PARKS, YOGA PLATFORMS, STAND-UP- PADDLEBOARDS, SUBMARINES, FLYBOARDS, JET SKIS AND ELECTRIC SURFBOARDS ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MYRIAD TOYS AVAILABLE ON BOARD A SUPERYACHT
Although formal, it is important that superyacht owners protect themselves from claims by having indemnities in place for guests to sign prior to using jet skis and other leisure accessories. This applies whether or not the superyacht is to be chartered or used privately.
