If you've experienced an accident with the boat, here's what you should do:
Stay Calm and Ensure Safety: Prioritize the well-being of your crew. Check for injuries on both boats and provide immediate medical assistance if needed.
Contact our Base Manager Edy: Reach out to Edy (+385 91 739 4195) promptly and explain the situation. He'll offer guidance on the next steps to take.
Exchange Information: If there was a collision with another boat, exchange contact details and relevant information with the other party. This is crucial for insurance claims and any legal matters.
Document the Scene: Take photos of the damage and note down details like time, location, and weather conditions. This documentation will be important for any future proceedings.
Coordinate for Resolution: For minor damages, work with the base managers to arrange a resolution, which may involve direct payment between parties on board.
Consider Reporting: Understand that formal reporting may lead to misdemeanor proceedings and fines, typically around 500 euros. which may exceed the cost of the damages themselves in many cases. Therefore, consider all options carefully before proceeding with formal reports.
Prioritize Safety: Throughout the process, prioritize safety and well-being. Stay calm and composed, ensuring everyone involved is looked after.
By following these steps, you can navigate the aftermath of a boat accident with clarity and efficiency while prioritizing the safety and welfare of all parties involved.
