Please note: you do not need to be technical! An assessment under the GVAP is not like a marine survey, where for example you measure humidity in fiberglass, or check for osmosis. The GVAP is more of a collection of information, to define what the rental or charter is offering, and importantly, as per the standard, give the boat a rating, much like a star rating that we see for hotels and restaurants. The training is very straight forward and based on common sense. Again, if you're passionate about boats, you'll find it easy and love this job!
