IMPORTANT WORK ETHICS
On the gas docks, When a boat comes INBOUND, all members should be standing and helping the boat. Never should anyone be sitting while there is a boat in the slip. Customers like to see a busy team and will reward you for it.
Do not eat down by the pumps in front of customers. We want you to have a un interrupted lunch and if someone is waiting for a slip and see you eating they can become upset.
One team member per boat club member. Better experience.
Please keep pumps open until we close.. If we close at 7pm that does not mean you clock out and leave at 7pm.. You clean up and get everything ready for the next morning. Clean pumps. etc.
BOAT CLEANLINESS
Boats should be immaculate and dry. Final touches include all windshields and drivers console, tables and exterior. Remember ski boats need the outsides washed and waxed also. Motor cowlings need to be waxed often to keep water spots down.
Please make sure boats are secure and fenders out when they are tied up at the marina.
RENTAL DELIVERIES.
Obey all no wake zones be respectful. People know our boats.
When pulling up to house turn down music.
Do not say anything negative while pulling up.. SOUND TRAVELS MORE THAN YOU THINK.
Put fenders out and make sure boat is secure at the dock. Damage to boats from bad dock practices are very expensive for us.
Be respectful and courteous.. They are on vacation and we are here to make their time amazing.
RENTAL DAILIES
