Crewz participants could be called on to actually “crew” by helping in the operation of the boat, under the direction of the captain, or simply to “cruise” by just going along for the ride. It’s up to Member-Captains and Member-Riders to together determine the nature and responsibilities of participants in each Crewz on a case by case basis.
Boating is a fun and rewarding activity and Crewz Club offers a new way to meet boaters and try new boats and new boating locations. But there also can be danger associated with boating that can result in injuries or loss of life. Members, not Myharbors, are entirely responsible for their personal safety at all times.
Myharbors can make no assessments and makes no representations about the safety or capability of Members or their boats and equipment. Members must use their own judgement and are responsible for making their own assessments.
Abide by All Myharbors Terms and Policies
Myharbors has established Terms of Use and Service, as well as Member Policies and Privacy policies that govern all use of Myharbors Services including Crewz Club. Members should familiarize themselves with these policies before scheduling a Crewz.
Members Beware
Any Member participating in a Crewz activity makes their own judgement about the equipment, conditions, environment, captain other crew, and any other aspect involved with any boating activity. This might include areas such as safety of the location, equipment and weather conditions; experience and skills of the captain and other participants; size and maintenance level of the boat, and suitability of other required equipment (personal floatation devices, radios, safety equipment, etc).
It is entirely the responsibility of participating Members to assess the suitability of participating in a Crewz. Myharbors does not evaluate Crewz Member-Captains or Member-Riders in any way including their equipment, safety or skills. It is the responsibility of individual Members to make such evaluations (both as boat owner/captains assessing potential crew and as potential riders assessing boats, conditions, captains and additional crew).
Member-Riders: IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ANY ASPECT OF A CREWZ, DO NOT SCHEDULE THE CREWZ OR DO GET ON THE BOAT, OR ASK TO BE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO SHORE. YOU SHOULD ASSUME THAT YOUR MEMBER-CAPTAIN IS NOT A LICENSED CAPTAIN SO YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN ASSESSMENT ABOUT THEIR SKILLS AND ABILITIES. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY.
Member-Captains: IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ANY ASPECT OF A MEMBER-RIDER RELATING TO SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR BOAT, DO NOT SCHEDULE THE CREWZ, DO NOT TAKE THE MEMBER ON THE BOAT OR RETURN THE MEMBER IMMEDIATELY TO SHORE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND THAT OF YOUR BOAT OR EQUIPMENT.
Members Prepare
As in any day on the water, Member-Riders should take responsibility for their own comfort and safety. Assess the potential weather conditions on the water for the day of the Crewz and bring appropriate layers of clothing, including as needed foul weather gear. Bring sunscreen, personal water, food and any medicines needed.
MYHARBORS STRONGLY ADVISES THAT MEMBER-RIDERS BRING THEIR OWN COAST GUARD APPROVED PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICE TO ALL CREWZ ACTIVITIES. Make sure it fits and is accessible at all times to enhance comfort and safety.
Member-Captains must also make suitable preparations for safe boating and abide by Coast Guard safety requirements. They should also make specific inquiries with Member-Riders about any special needs to assure they can be accommodated BEFORE accepting Members to scheduled Crewz activities.
No Fees For Crewz, No Charters
A Crewz is not a commercial Charter, it is just a boating activity between private persons. Per US Coast Guard regulations, only Licensed Captains may charge fees for boat charters. CHARGING FEES FOR CREWZ ACTIVITIES IS PROHIBITED BY MYHARBOS.
Further, Crewz Club is for individual Members only, Charter businesses that may use other aspects of Myharbors to advertise their offerings (e.g. ads, Classifieds, Listings) may NOT use Crewz Club to solicit, offer or schedule commercial charter activities.

Myharbors and its Affiliates shall have no liability for any aspect of Crewz Club per the Myharbors Terms of Use & Service. Specifically see the Myharbors Limitation on Claims and Releases From Liability and Limitations of Liability terms for details.
