I see, thank you. I guess I can hope that I find a suitable ex-hire as presume in order to have achieved the commercial BSC previously, the spec would still be the same? Understood on the flouting of the rules. Presume it would be the lack of a commercial BSC (and correct Letting License) that would invalidate the insurance. Do uninsured accidents happen on the inland waterways often? I’m not weighing up the risk by the way… I’m just an inexperienced boater-to-be and would like to have as much knowledge as possible in preparation.

Thanks, that’s really useful info. It’s starting to sound not as achievable as I’d hoped. Is there anyway to know of these measurements prior to a survey?

Oh this is amazing - thank you so much

I’m currently going through the process of buying a second hand boat and will be using it for personal use as well as static short-term rental. I’ve done some research and understand it can be difficult to obtain the commercial BSSC, so prior to buying I’d like to be mindful of what these considerations should be…. But really struggling to find this detail online. Does anyone have experience and able to offer any info please? Also any other advice & or experience of doing this would be much appreciated. Success stories, failures - I’m all ears!
