Use of boat for charity donations.

[JoeQ]

If I take people out in the boat for a pleasure cruise down the Clyde and ask only for donations to my charity page does it mean I need to have to boat coded?

I asked my insurer if it was ok to do this for a local charity and they were quite relaxed.

I would talk to your insurer who will ultimately pick up the cost of any incident and see what they think?

Legally boat needs to be coded,as people not immediate family and friends. Insurance co being happy is incidental

If you take strangers on your boat, with or without payment, donations etc, I think you need the boat coded.

Google Merchant Shipping Act 1998 (I think) and look for Pleasure Vessel.
