What safety measures do boat movers take? Do boat movers take any safety measures at all? The answer is yes. Boat movers are part of the support team that move boats from one location to another. Much like a film crew, boat movers load and unload boats on trailers to be moved by trucks to their next destination. Each step of the process is carefully coordinated to ensure maximum safety during transportation. Boat movers inspect boats to ensure that they can fit onto a truck and remove all personal items from them. Once the boat has been loaded onto a trailer, they fasten it down and make sure that it will not move at all under normal driving conditions. During transportation, movers inspect the boat to ensure it is not damaged by any of the other items being moved. Whether you are moving a big boat or a small one, whether you are using a short or long reach boat lift, the professionals on BorisDoes will take the utmost care with your vessel. They will also ensure that your boat stays safe and secure because they understand that it is more than just another ride for you.

The demand for boating services has increased in Australia. The growth is seen from the increasing number of boats and yachts around the country. As such, boat service providers have started to hire rapidly, making it difficult to find a job that suits your qualifications. However, finding an employment opportunity as a boat service provider is only possible when you have the right boat licenses and certifications. In Australia, you need to hold a license to operate a boat professionally. This means if you are being paid to take people on a boat trip or cruise, you must have a license. Having received a Master ticket in Australia, you can apply for a yacht captain’s license and start offering those services in Australia. If you want to start a business providing boating services, you will need to have a boating business license with the relevant authority in your state or territory. Your boat can be used for recreational purposes, but if you're planning to conduct any form of business, you will need to get your Business Licence. The authorities that are in charge of issuing this license are the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) and Service NSW (previously Roads & Maritime Services). Contact the relevant department or agency in your state or territory to find out more. In addition, there are discipline-specific requirements you may need to comply with if completing specific work, like electrical or mechanical installation or repairs. Check with your local authorities and state or territory agencies if you aren’t sure.

Before going out on the water, a Tasker should check a variety of features to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. These features include a sound engine, a working depth gauge, a clean anchor line, and no leaks in the hull. Besides, before setting out for a day on the water, a visual check of a vessel will tell a Tasker a lot about its general condition. Does it need an oil change? A fresh coat of paint? Are the rod-holders in good shape? As you can see, there are a lot of questions to answer before going out on the water. Finally, a Tasker should check the location of life preservers and fire extinguishers, propeller direction, steering and throttle control. The ice box for food and beverages should also be checked. On a sailing boat, they should also inspect the running rigging to make sure that anchors, lines and sheets are secure and adjusted correctly. A walk-around inspection - while a boat is still on a trailer - can be really useful.

Yes! It’s very important for your boat to be insured, especially if you use it to provide services for which you are paid. Boat insurance in Australia is a cover against losses to your boat, trailer and some other accessories. You can also get third-party property insurance and public liability insurance, which protect you if you cause damage to other peoples’ property. An appropriate insurance policy will give you peace of mind as it protects your boat from financial loss, so you can focus on what really matters: making the most of boating. Catamarans, motorboats, sailboats, double-hulled vessels; everything from small tinnies to mega-yachts - there is insurance for all different types of vessels. Many boat insurance companies in Australia provide packages for boat owners based on their specific requirements. Before choosing a policy, make sure that your boat is not only insured, but it is insured in a manner consistent with the way you intend to use it. Boat insurance protects a boat owner, any non-owner operators, and those using waterways around them. As far as BorisDoes is concerned, every boat owner should have boat insurance to protect important assets. If you would like more information, talk to one of our financial advisor Taskers in the professional services category and find a professional insurance broker who can help you.

It depends entirely on what you need your BorisDoes Tasker or Business to do. Some boat cleaning services charge between $30 and $50 an hour to clean a boat that is in a dry dock or moored in a specific, easy-to-access location (sometimes with a call-out fee). That’s much the same as cleaning a car or a house. To design and build a yacht from scratch can be a multimillion-dollar project, available only to the super-rich. Realistically, BorisDoes Tasker and Business costs are fairly similar to other service providers - the big difference is that it’s quicker and easier to find and hire those service providers in your area with BorisDoes.
