About this book
Boating and rafting operations demand more than enthusiasm. They require reliable knowledge about vessel types, safety systems, maintenance routines, regulatory compliance, and the business fundamentals that separate successful operations from costly failures.
This handbook provides the concrete, neutral guidance professionals and serious operators actually need. Whether you're choosing between hull materials, diagnosing an engine problem, managing a rental fleet, or building a consulting business around water sports, you'll find specific, actionable information grounded in real-world practice—not marketing claims or abstract theory.
Written for professionals, business owners, and serious hobbyists who want to make informed decisions and operate safely and sustainably.

★★★★★I manage a small charter boat business and bought this expecting another generic boating how-to. Instead, I got exactly what I needed: clear guidance on maintenance schedules, a breakdown of what actually matters in hull specifications, and a whole chapter on business models I hadn't considered. The chapter on choosing equipment for different water conditions saved me from buying the wrong raft for our river program. Only minor quibble: the glossary could be a bit longer, but overall this is the reference I'll be keeping at the dock.
