To become a Taxi boat, you need to follow a few rules, starting with a suitable boat.
1. Regulatory compliance
Before starting your project, find out about local regulations. This includes obtaining the appropriate licenses for the commercial operation of your boat. Each country, and even each state, may have specific requirements in terms of safety, inspections, and professional qualifications for the captain and crew.
2. Boat layout
Your boat needs to be adapted to carry passengers safely and comfortably. This may require modifications such as the addition of seats, extra life jackets, and other mandatory safety equipment.
3. Insurance
Commercial marine insurance is essential to protect your company, your passengers and yourself in the event of accident or damage.
4 Maintenance and management
In addition to managing your business, you'll need to ensure regular maintenance of the boat to guarantee safety and reliability. Administrative management, including bookings and accounting, is also crucial to the smooth running of your business.
5. Draw up a business plan
To succeed, you need to draw up a solid business plan and implement effective marketing strategies. Identify your target market (tourists, inter-island shuttles, etc.), set competitive rates, and use various channels to promote your services.
