If you’re planning a luxurious yacht trip with your family or friends, here are three important fishing etiquettes that you should follow:
Don’t litter! Leave no trace
The flow of plastics into our environment has reached crisis proportions. The oceans are slowly getting littered by plastic, which is extremely harmful to ocean life.
It’s critical that you don’t become a part of it by littering, like throwing your plastics in the water. Treat the yacht as you would your own home.
Keep plastic bags and litter from flying overboard of the yacht. If you’ve got kids along with you, make sure they also follow your lead.
This is not just a basic yacht fishing etiquette, but also a great practice that will help preserve the marine species and keep our planet safe.
Don’t waste the ocean resources
Contrary to popular belief, the ocean is a finite resource. We should respect the ecosystem and avoid wasting resources. A good fishing etiquette dictates that you should only keep the fishes that you can eat, irrespective of any sort of limit set by the yacht management.
If you’re just fishing with your friends as competition, it’s critical that you take good care of the fish and ensure they spend a minimal amount of time out of the water. You may consider investing in a quality fishing net to avoid damage to their slime coat.
Be courteous to others
In the fishing yacht, there will be many people who might want to enjoy a good fishing session and have a good oceanic experience, just like yourself. It’s important to be courteous and well-mannered during the trip.
For instance, avoid smoking inside the cabin; only smoke in designated areas. Moreover, treat the crew with respect. They work extremely hard to ensure your holiday trip goes perfectly as planned.
Quick good etiquette pointers
- Always listen to the safety briefings. The yacht crew takes the safety of all the passengers very seriously. You should respect that and attentively listen to the safety briefings.
- Ask about the pets in advance. Not all yachts are pet-friendly. If you want to take your furry friend along with you, ask for permission in advance.
- Wear appropriate footwear. Avoid wearing heels or pointy shoes in the yacht. Ideally, you should walk barefoot or use soft-soled shoes when walking on the deck.
