Consejos para la conducción de un barco

La conducción de un barco es muy parecido a conducir un coche, aunque en muchos estados, la edad para la obtención del permiso de conducción de un barco es mucho más joven que el de una licencia de conducción de automóviles. Antes de comenzar a aprender a manejar un barco, sin embargo, es imprescindible que participe en algún tipo de curso bote de seguridad y recibir una certificación de navegación que está avalado por la policía marítima de su estado particular. Esto es importante si usted está planeando tomar un paseo tranquilo en un velero o comprimir a través de los cursos de agua en un barco de alto rendimiento. Es esencial que usted aprenda las reglas de la carretera, antes de ponerse al volante de cualquier watercraft.Once que haya completado un curso de seguridad en la navegación y recibió su licencia, tendrá que empezar a aprender a manejar un barco con la ayuda de un experimentado navegante a su lado.

Los siguientes consejos son aplicables para la conducción de apenas alrededor de cualquier barco, como embarcaciones de Runabout, barcos de lujo, barcos de alto rendimiento, barcos de wakeboard, e incluso barcos de vela, cuando alguien está aprendiendo a manejar un barco.


  1. Completar un curso de navegación para obtener un certificado de seguridad náutica.

  2. Familiarícese con todas las partes del barco, incluidos los equipos de seguridad extra.

  3. Elaborar una lista de comprobación precisas que se pueden utilizar antes de cada excursión en bote.

  4. No utilice alcohol, y no permiten a sus pasajeros que lo hagan.

  5. Asegúrese de tener el número adecuado y el tamaño correcto de los dispositivos de flotación personal a bordo.

  6. Conozca las reglas de navegación de la carretera.

  7. Practique la seguridad en todo momento.

  8. Nombrar a un observador que esté atento cuando alguien es el esquí, la tubería, o wakeboard
