It's also important to assess their knowledge of the vessel's specific features and safety protocols. Additionally, ensure they are familiar with navigation rules and local regulations. Finally, consider their ability to handle emergencies and make sound decisions while on the water.

Always prioritize safety and responsible navigation to prevent accidents and legal consequences.
