This is to certify that I, the Charter Guest, am experienced and competent in all aspects of the handling and operation of the type of yacht I have selected for charter, including practical knowledge of seamanship, piloting, and Rules of the Road, and I certify the accuracy of the above statements. I agree not to allow the yacht to be operated by any person not qualified.
