Frequently Asked Questions About Boatstop
What is a boatstop?
Your boat is the only one from hitchhiking The difference is that it is towed to the boat, not the car.. In other words, a sailing boat picks you up from one place and leaves you at another in exchange for your labor.
Is Training Required?
Education about sea, maritime and sailing is not a requirement for boating, but it is necessary. You will cross the ocean, you will cruise on the endless seas. It will be a great advantage to have received training on boating and sailing.. It will make you feel confident.
When is it done?
The dates should be determined according to the seasons and winds.. Find out in which season the area you will start is suitable for sailing. For example, from the Canary Islands in October and November, the trade winds that humanity has used for centuries begin to blow and it is the time to cross to the opposite shore of the Atlantic.. It is not possible to find a single boat that will depart from the opposite direction and arrive at the Canary Islands at the same time, because the winds blow from the opposite direction..
Where to buy a boat?
It can be done directly from the marina or online.
People who will look for a boat from the marina can go to the management of the marina they are in and get information about the boats that will depart in the direction they want to go or leave an advertisement on the board.. What comes into play here is the need of the other party and the persuasiveness of the boat-stopper..
Online applications are relatively easy because you can apply from home, workplace or a cafe.. The characteristics of the boat owner who is looking for a member of his crew, and the conditions under which they will work, can be accessed with one click.. Sites that serve online are divided into paid and free.. My personal recommendation is to use the paid ones because there are fewer competitors and people who really value the work on paid sites.

Is it possible to earn money from boatstop?
It is possible to make money from boatstop, of course, if you are experienced. If you have sailing experience, it is possible to find boats that pay money to the crew, although it is rare.. I know people who are sea lovers and earn their living this way..
Is it chargeable?
It is entirely at the discretion of the boat owner whether or not the person making the boat stop will be charged or not.. While some boat owners pay for the flight ticket of the staff, which they see as unpaid labor, some only demand food expenses, while others demand money from the staff because they know that it will provide training and experience to the staff and that the other person cannot easily get such an experience..
