ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK / LIABILITY WAIVER
VESSEL NAME: La Dulce Vida
DEPARTURE DATE: ___________
By signing, I as a passenger aboard the La Dulce Vida vessel acknowledge:
The vessel owner does not want to frighten me or reduce my enthusiasm but believes it is important for me to know in advance of the potential dangers and risk, including the inherent risks of any voyage, both known and unknown. I am about to board a passenger vessel for a voyage and will encounter known and unknown risks, hazards, perils and dangers. I understand and acknowledge that as a passenger, there are known, unknown as well as unanticipated risks which could cause or result in injury, illness, disease, death, emotional distress and/or damages to myself, others and my property. I understand by being careful, paying attention and following instructions, I can minimize my chances of being injured or injuring others. For that reason I hereby acknowledge and agree to the following:
1. I am aware the water is a moving surface and the vessel moves on that surface sometimes in ways that are not predictable. I recognize that conditions aboard a vessel are different and possibly more dangerous than ashore. While standing, sitting and/or walking about the vessel (including boarding, disembarking, climbing and descending steps, stairs, ladders, etc.) I will always keep one hand free and use all available handholds, grab holds, grab rails, tables, bulkheads, railings and benches, so that I will not lose my balance, fall down and possibly be injured.
2. I understand the vessel’s deck has changes in elevation, some of which may not be marked. As I walk about the vessel I will make sure to look where I step and pay attention so that I do not trip or fall.
3. That while walking about the vessel I will be on the lookout for any open hatches as I acknowledge that I could fall in and be injured.
4. That I will remain seated in the stern (rear of vessel) and/or inside the helm or galley of the vessel when so ordered by the Captain.
5. That I am aware the decks of the vessel can become slippery due to wave action, sunscreen, sun oil, etc. and I will be careful at all times while standing or walking so as not to slip and fall. Flip-flops, slip-on shoes, high heels and leather soles are not safe. I agree to not wear this type of footwear while on this vessel to prevent myself from slipping by wearing unsafe shoes.
6. I will always make an effort to be aware of where all other passengers are so that I do not accidentally injure them and so they do not accidentally hurt me. I acknowledge the vessel owner is not responsible for other passengers’ actions.
7. If I decide to consume alcohol, I will be extra careful while aboard the vessel. I acknowledge that I am aware of my tolerance to alcohol and limitations and will not become inebriated and that if I do the trip will end and all passengers will be dropped off at the closest dock and the excursion will end.
8. I understand while marijuana is legal in Washington it is not legal on the waters inside Washington and I will not bring on to the vessel nor consume any marijuana product in any form and that if I do the trip will end and all passengers will be dropped off at the closest dock and the excursion will end.
9. I will listen to and obey the instructions of the Captain and any deckhands, as they are concerned for my safety.
10. I assert that I am physically fit to swim if I choose to swim and I will not hold Memes Enterprises, LLC or their employees, agents or other associated personnel responsible if I am injured as a result of ANY problems (medical, accidental or otherwise) which may occur while swimming, riding on the boat or otherwise participating on the trip. I fully understand that the involved boat has limited medical facilities and that in the event of illness or injury, appropriate medical care must be summoned by radio and treatment will be delayed until I can be transported in a proper medical care facility. I agree in advance to these conditions.
11. By signing on the signature line I hereby acknowledge I have read and understand this ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK and I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume on my behalf (or on behalf of all minor children who accompany me) all the risks inherent with being a passenger aboard a vessel. My participation as a passenger aboard the vessel is purely voluntary and I elect to participate in spite of the known and unknown risks.
