My 19 year old son has been asking me to let him take the boat on his own. He has operated on the lake enough and also ran my last boat in the water. He knows the rules and has his pleasure operators certificate but does need a little more practice docking for me to feel comfortable enough to give him the keys.
He is a responsible enough young man, works at a new car dealership drivng and parking all the vehicles. I am not too concerned with his judgement for letting him go and I will have him dock a few more times with me before I let him go also.
My question is about insurance, mine is currently based on 10+ years operating vessels. Has anyone adjusted theirs to allow inexperienced operators and what kind of hit did it add?
Mine comes up for renewal in May so I will find out soon enough but I am wondering about it.
