Pleasure Yachts

 

Any yacht carrying more than 12 passengers is considered a “passenger yacht” and is subject to additional regulations and requirements (SOLAS Convention, ISM Code, ISPS Code and  MLC 2016 Convention). The specific rules vary depending on the yacht's location and the type of operation it is engaged in. Still, passenger yachts generally must adhere to strict safety standards and carry higher insurance coverage.

 

Passenger yachts may also be subject to regular inspections by government agencies to ensure they comply with all applicable regulations. Additionally, the crew of a passenger yacht must hold appropriate licenses and certifications, and the yacht must be equipped with safety equipment and emergency procedures in place.
